RB bumper died and instead of buying a new parts I just went ape mode. Surprisingly after putting everything back together it works.

    Did a gorilla assist you applying the glue? People got divorced over how you use that tube...

    that's too much when a total of $10 can give you practically a lifetime amount of repairs

    3 dollars? Lad I can get one for like 50 pence in the UK, and that's a bit dear for them too

    Aren’t you worried about getting glue on your laptop?

    Not in that moment, probably should have been, any glueing took place over some paper towels though

    I did the same on my Xbox one controller. For me it was the B button which wasn’t registering inputs. Cleaning it thoroughly fixed it. It was fun to fix it. And this controller of mine is 5 years old. My series X controller is under a year old and already has drift issues.

    I wish my RB button would die, mine has been clicking over and over again super fast for over a week (it's not stuck, I think it's probably moisture in the actual button, like the one soldered to the board, although it started while I was playing and no food or drinks were present so...🤷‍♂️) I've been navigating the homescreen and settings with my phone and remapping RB for each game to whatever I can that won't make the game unplayable, (like rdr2 I switch it with down on the D-pad, although getting it changed from down is tricky sometimes because the option to configure in xbox accessories only pops up when the controller is on but when the controller is on it starts scrolling down rapidly away from the configure button, and ends up stuck at the bottom option. 3 more days till payday when I can get a new one (I'm sadly no good at arts and crafts so replacement of the entire controller is my best bet.

    Did your switch die or the plastic bumper? My switch only works if it gets pressed a lot

    parent

    Plastic bumper, guess I must have dropped it or something but the plastic I guess arm that goes down to actually press the switch had broken off

    I did exactly the same with mine for the LT button, so proud of myself at first, and then after some time the stick broke and now it stick drifts like a Mazda RX-7 😂😭
