Review on Enhanced Sthetix 2021 2 Pack Replacement Bumpers and Button Triggers ๐ŸŽฎ for Xbox One Elite Controller - Superior Durability + Screwdriver Repair Kit Included by Jonathan Partridge

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Purchased to repair an Xbox Elite shoulder button (v1).

Includes everything shown in the image in a standard PUBG style box. It included two sets of replacement home button + shoulder button covers for the controller, a plastic pry bar, a wedge/triangle, a T8 "protector" tool, and a T6 tool. There are no directions, so you'll have to get advice yourself or go on your own. Also note that if you proceed, this will void any original or extended warranty, although most of them are now no longer covered by this warranty. I believe if you didn't tighten them and applied a quick torque, they would quickly deform. I only needed the T8, but I think the T6 might be needed for major repairs beyond replacing the shoulder button, although that doesn't seem possible for this kit. The plastic tools weren't necessary in my case, but they might be good for other projects. Replacing the shoulder buttons in visible areas fully matches the OEM buttons in both color and lettering, while flashing in non-visible areas is not. agree, but who cares? The thickness and shapes also match, with the exception of the missing "notch" that seems to snap into the controller for a more secure fit under the home button area, this didn't seem to impact the new house. Button placket and shoulder buttons for a secure feel. I would say this will last as long as the OEM shoulder buttons as this is a design flaw and some will break them faster than others your mileage will likely vary here. I've owned my Elite for over five years (2015) and haven't had to replace any shoulder buttons yet. . While the pieces fit together snugly, the shoulder button wings are slightly higher, so EVERY installation video you watch (all of them) prompts you to attach the piece and snap it in place. Will they say do it from above, tilt it or just clamp it down somehow. The problem I encountered when trying both methods was that the shoulder buttons would not "seat" properly in the slots, resulting in either the shoulder buttons not making contact with the actual shoulder switches, or the triggers would also fire when clicked became. figured out a way to put the lid on and before I "snapped" it, I tucked the shoulder buttons into the slots and then secured the whole thing in place. The little green button that started the "Sync" process was also annoying, since it was often moved. However, after everything is properly installed and tested before closing everything, all parts fit, feel and look like OEM. controller. If you're unfamiliar with electronics, it's highly recommended that you search "xbox elite controller disassembly" first to understand what you're dealing with, but it's not the kit's fault if you don't know how .
