SOSS GAMING® 2023 Tactile Switch Repair Kit for Xbox One Controllers Base Model, S, Elite Series 1, Elite Series 2 – RB LB Bumper Button Repair & Fix (10 Pack)

Works much better than the stock buttons
My stock bumpers were getting really bad. It was hit or miss whether a press would register and sometimes RB would double press. I tried ideas I found online like cleaning the button with alcohol, folding the thin plastic button cover backwards, but nothing worked longer than a couple hours or so. As soon as I replaced with these buttons, they work perfectly every time with no double-presses. Before, it would feel kind of “squishy” if I pressed on the far outer edges of the bumper, but now it feels consistent regardless of where on the bumper I press.Installing was a big pain, though, unless you have experience with removing and installing components from a circuit board (I had some but little). I used plastic tools from my iFixit kit to open the controller up, but these buttons do come with some cheap tools that will probably work.As far as taking apart the controller and installing the buttons, here are some tips and things I encountered through my trials and tribulations:When removing the faceplate, you need to be extra careful on the left and right sides of the controller (around halfway up on both sides) because there are 2 very thin rumble motor wires on each side that wrap from the back around to the front, and if you jam your tool in just the right spot, you could damage them.Other than that, follow the YouTube guide and be very careful not to break anything, which can be hard at times when you don’t know how much pressure you need to apply to take things apart and how much pressure it takes to break them. I ended up breaking one tiny piece of plastic when taking the top bumper bar off of the controller.When the guide tells you to use “a little outward and upward tug” (at 4:25), make sure you really do the “outward” part. Meaning, for example, on the right bumper you really need to pry it to the right, because there is a plastic tab that needs to come undone before it can move upward and off. I must have pried upward too much and snapped the thing off. It made reinstalling it a tad easier though. 😀 I’m not worried about it much. The only thing that’s affected in the end is that if I pull up on the edge of my right bumper, it stretches up like it’s not supposed to. Not a big deal since you shouldn’t be doing that anyway.Another note is that in the video, he unsolders the 8 rumble wires from the green circuit board. Someone in the comments stated that that’s completely unnecessary and they’re right (unless you’re confident enough in your soldering skills, then go ahead and do so). I skipped the unsoldering and instead just freed the wires from the clips on the front of the controller using a plastic tool, which will give you more than enough slack to get everything out of the way so that you can access the blue board, which is where the buttons are that you’ll be replacing. Be careful with these wires though, as they are very thin and you could easily scrape off the insulation or break the wires if you are rough with them.The thing I struggled with the most wasn’t removing the old switches like everyone else says, (I just cut them up into pieces like shown in the video and removed each post one by one) but was removing all of the solder from the holes on the circuit board. I imagine if you have a desoldering pump that could be a big help, but I’ve never used one. All I have is desoldering braid, which worked for cleaning up excess solder on the board, but I wasn’t able to remove all the solder that was down inside the holes.This was a huge inconvenience and I almost put the whole project on hold until I could get a pump or some other ideas. However, I stuck with it and did it slow and painstakingly. I held the new switch’s pins up to the four holes (which were filled with solder), and just went back and forth melting the solder on two holes, pushing those two pins in a fraction of a millimeter, then the other side, etc. etc. By slowly “wiggling” the pins in little by little, left to right and back, I was able to get it fully seated after quite a while. If you end up doing this, make sure you give the board enough time to cool periodically because you will be applying a lot of heat for quite a while with this method.One last note: Make sure you install these buttons as flush with the board as possible or else the controller won’t fit back together at worst, or at best the bumpers will feel too stiff. This happened to me once and I had to take it back apart to seat the button that last fraction of a millimeter. I used my phone flashlight and a magnifying glass to make sure there was no gap remaining between the button and the board.All in all, this took me around 5 hours or so, which is much longer that I anticipated but your mileage may vary. It was worth it in the end.

great product
great quality, similar feel to an xbox one controller bumpers and amazing video with instructions

Great product.
Its a pain to remove and solder but worth it if good at soldering. Recommend using heat gun or good solder gun. Need high heat to remove old one.

funcionan muy bien
