Xbox elite controller left trigger

My elite controller as well. Left hair trigger. Hopefully it gets unstuck.

I just got an Elite console a couple weeks ago and have the EXACT same issue with my controller. When the left hair trigger is engaged, it feels like the trigger stop is covered in adhesive when pushing down the trigger. Maddening. I'm hoping that after
many hours of use the trigger frees up. I did see a couple Youtube videos showing how to free up the trigger by removing the back cover on the afflicted side and using a Q-tip and rubbing alcohol or nail polish remover to clean away the sticky stuff. I don't
really want to do this as I'm scared of scratching the trigger or breaking the plastic cover when taking it apart. Not cool for a $150 controller.

I wouldn't recommend sending your controller to be replaced, I was going to do mine but I was told by an agent on the phone that there isn't much stock and that the turn around to receive a replacement elite controller could be weeks if not months.

are any of u guys with sticky trouble using pro grip ???

Hey there Sakkidatta 13.

Sorry to hear the trouble. Please make sure not to bump older threads, as this thread is from last year. We don't reocmmend opening your controller as it voids the warranty. If you recently purchased it I recommend reaching out to the retailer for an exchange
if you haven't already.
