Microsoft now sells official Xbox controller repair parts
You can now buy repair parts for the Xbox Series X/S and Elite Wireless 2 controllers.
Perfect timing. The controller-operated submarine market just blew wide open.
I was under the impression it imploded.
Their replacement parts cost almost as much as the last Xbox controller I bought. They are frequently available for $40 USD and pretty much always for $50, the replacement PCB is $35 and that's only half of it.
Both PCBs, motors, and buttons are over $90 USD, and no that's not for the elite controller.
It isn't great, no. It is a step in the right direction though.
while not as through as what valve offers through ifixit, its still nice to see.
Baby steps I guess. Hopefully they offer more in the future.
Love to see it!
Any advancement towards self repair is fantastic!
Amen brother
So what component fixes the stick drift on my standard design lab controller? I only see 6 pieces available and 2 of them are just cosmetic pieces.
I was wondering the same thing about a bumper that doesn't always fire. Do I need to replace the pcb or just the bumper or maybe both?
I just replaced my bumpers a month ago and its less then perfect. Im not sure whats causing the issue, but quite frequently when i press down on one of the bumpers itll raise the other just enough to give my finger a love tap. It so far has no negative consequence, just feels a bit weird.
