Causes a cracked trigger

These kits are a good idea. Unfortunately I had a cracked trigger housing with the first version after about 3 weeks of use. The trigger felt very spongy, so I took the controller apart and noticed a micro-crack in the case. I'm not too rough with my controllers, so that's a bit of a concern. I just installed a new version of the kit with trigger stop inserts and also installed gears on the adaptive trigger motor to act as a trigger stop on the other side of the build, essentially splitting the power to both sides. I also turned off power to the trigger motors to prevent activation. Another issue is that buttons, also known as tactile switches, are typically rated for 100,000 clicks or less, so durability can be an issue. I will continue to test and report. UPDATE I have to report another trigger node error on my brother's controller. It's in the same place as the crack in my trigger. If you look at the trigger housing you can see the sharp corner of the trigger spring which can fail because it is very thin and sharp corners are more prone to failure than rounded ones. I believe that we will see more failures in the second version as well, since the trigger stop is very close to this range. In my opinion the trigger stop needs to be moved away from the trigger pin to reduce some of the forces generated at the weak point mentioned above. I really like this kit because it's amazing when it works, but at the moment I can't recommend it. I'm embarrassed to give 2 stars but I have to give them until this issue is resolved. UPDATE 2: I made the print and glued it to the body. Needed some tweaking but works well so far. I will keep testing.
