Issues with the Xbox Elite Controller Series 2 LB Button

Heya Georges,

So I just updated my PC, checked the USB drivers, updated the elite controller, and cable tested but not sure how to see if the Xbox companion is updated or even do an update but everything looks good. I also connected my normal Xbox X series controller to my PC with the same cable and it's working fine, I'm having no issues with the LB button or any other buttons for that matter... Maybe I'm not noticing the issue when I use the elite controller on my Xbox series X. Might be an issue with the controller but I'm not sure what else there is to do before requesting a repair from microsoft.

Hello Edris. I'm Arturo, a community user like you, and I'll be glad to provide assistance with your inquiry today.

Based on the information you provided, it could be a hardware issue with the LB button. However, before considering that, you may want to carefully clean the button by following these recommendations from Microsoft:

“For Xbox controllers, we've tested the safety of using the following ********* alcohol (IPA) solution and disinfectant wipes.
********* alcohol (IPA) solution 70% or less
Formula 409® All-Purpose Cleaner
Windex® Glass Cleaner
Dawn (or other mild dish soap) and water
PDI Sani-Cloth® Plus
Covidien™ Alcohol Prep pads
CaviWipes™
Clorox Healthcare® Bleach Germicidal Wipes
Total Solutions® Disinfectant Wipes.

Xbox Wireless Controller: Use any of the disinfectant wipes listed above, or a soft cloth dampened with an IPA solution 70% or less.”

In case the issue persists and if your controller is within warranty, it would be better to request a replacement/repair:

I'll remain attentive to any other inquiry you may have.

I would say yes. A lot of elite controllers (series 1 and 2) have several manifacturing problems, the most common are RB/LB malfunctioning and sticks.

The problem with my LB button working as RB button is on my Xbox series x controller

Hi, I can't say I have that issue with my Elite controller and I'm in the Alpha ring, the LB button isn't jammed in is it ?
