Purchasing new bumper buttons

Lourn Lober · May 18, 2024

Are all XBOX Series X replacement "bumper buttons" the same? I saw a YouTube video where a guy repaired his because a small piece of plastic broke on the LB. But I noticed my controller is slightly different on the inside from the one in the video. So maybe there's different models with slightly different changes? I just want to make sure I order the right replacement bumpers.

Afraid we can't help with self repair of any kind on the forums.

I took another controller back today because the left stick became overly loose (could push it in and pull it back out, and the dead zone was off because of it). Changed it for a new one and guess what, dull left bumper!

Exchanged it again and finally got a controller without defects. Lol.

In total, five controllers since November found with faults, four with dull left bumper. All from GAME in Nottingham, UK.

The comment I was responding to has been deleted @unreal., and for good reason.

Yes the OP should return the goods until a satisfactory replacement is obtained whilst under warranty.

I know plenty of people already know this, the bumpers on the X1 are quite different to the 360 and work better if pressed on the edge diagonally, if you press straight down on them they don't work so well.

The controller itself is great. I prefer it to the Xbox 360 controller after I had a bit of time to adjust to it. Just it's quality and durability isn't great.
