Sthetix Upgraded LB RB Bumpers Replacement Triggers Button Parts - Revolutionary Precision Design + T6 T8 Screwdriver Repair Kit Compatible with Xbox One Elite Controller

When the bumper on my elite controller broke I thought that was the end of its life, so I went ahead and bought a Series 2. But before I pitched the old one, I figured I would check out Amazon for a possible solution and stumbled upon this product.Installation wasn't the easiest but it wasn't bad either - but this is moreso due to the controller's design and not this product. It's great that they included 2 of these in a single package as they could have likely sold these in singles and charged the same price for them - so having one on backup (or an extra just in case you somehow break one trying to replace the existing one) is just more peace of mind.After all was said and done, I was extremely pleased of the fact I had absolutely no idea it was not the original. It matched the color scheme of the original it works flawlessly.

I was considering getting the XBox Elite controller Series 2 and decided to do some online research to see if it was worth upgrading from the Series 1 controller I already had. Turns out, both use the crappy second-gen regular controller bumper design that everyone is complaining about, so I stuck with my Series 1. Sure enough, just two weeks later, my own right bumper broke (after using the controller for only three months). So I found myself once again doing online research, this time to see if a broken bumper could be replaced/repaired, sparing me the expense of a brand-new controller. Came across this kit, which was the only one that had bumpers that appeared to match mine in colour, so I ordered it. Here's a quick synopsis:Pros: 1) The colour matches the original Elite bumpers perfectly 2) If you can get the replacement piece to fit, it works exactly the same as the original bumpersCons: 1) The housing unit cannot be separated from the bumpers (the housing unit is the rectangular piece with the big, round hole for the XBox button). Why does this matter? See 2). 2) Despite the claims in the second vendor photo ("PRECISION ENGINEERED...PERFECT FIT), the housing unit is missing the center tab that helps position the unit as a whole and keeps it stabilised (see my own photo for where this tab would be on an original XBox controller bumper unit (the empty red square)). I wanted to use the housing piece from my Elite controller and fit it with the bumpers from this kit, but the bumpers could not be separated from the housing unit...ALSO despite another vendor claim (that "the middle piece can be take [sic] apart easily"). 3) Again, despite claims of "precision engineering" and a "perfect fit", the first bumper unit I tried would not go in/on. I watched several different Youtube videos demonstrating the process, both before and during my attempt to attach this unit, but it would not go on. Then, I remembered at least one of the reviews (I don't remember if it was for this particular unit) saying that the pieces they received were not all identical, so I tried the second unit that came with this product, and had it in and working in five seconds. 4) Comes with pieces you don't need to replace the bumper unit (namely, the T6 screwdriver), which probably drives up the price slightly. Why this kit includes a completely unnecessary tool, I have no idea.So, while I'm happy I got my Elite controller working again, this new bumper unit will probably break soonish (no fault of this kit, but of the original controller design they are matching), and I'll have to order a whole new kit, since this one does not appear to allow me to use a new bumper unit in the existing housing unit, and the second assembly piece that came with it is unusable. If I could use both assembly units and/or use my old housing unit, I would have given this at least one more star.

No instructions are included... had to go on youtube to look for what to do...the hardest part is snapping the new one in place you need to snap it in just right.. be sure to line up the LB and RB tabs that press the actual buttons before fully snapping the whole thing back or it will never line up. Also when putting it all back verify you have your switched and battery metal terminals facing out cuz the first time I screwed everything back and was missing the little metal plate for the battery it slipped behind the plastic when putting it all back... it took me a good 45 minutes of trial and error before figuring it out at least on the elite stick... that stick uses the T8 and the guitar looking pry plastic... the T6 must be for other sticks....Overall it did save my Elite (ver 1) stick from the trash heep...

Better quality tools with this controller kit than others I have used. 1st, Watch a bumper replacement video online. 2nd, Pull your controller apart and remove the bumpers and plate they are attached to. 3rd, take a moment to understand how the bumpers attach to the plate and how the plastic tabs on the bumper buttons push the actual buttons on/in the controller body. 4th, mix & match bumpers and plates until you find a combination that works. 5th, reassemble and avoid overtightening the screws when you reattach the faceplate sides. A set of needle files was helpful in making my pieces work better together. No clue how long it will hold up. Considering the cost of the original elite and that it is still my favorite controller, this was a no brainer for me.

I decided to order this kit because I, like so many others, experienced a broken bumper on my Xbox Elite controller. This kit really does come with everything you need to get the job done and it is nice for it to come with 2 sets of bumpers. The packaging was fine and nothing was defected or damaged upon me receiving it.The install was quite tricky and took me a while to figure out. There are youtube videos detailing how to do it but even with these, it took me about 30 minutes to install the new bumpers with the supplied tools.Once installed, I decided to test the bumpers out with a game of Rocket League and they felt just like the original bumpers, which is exactly what I wanted. After having the bumpers installed on my controller for a while now, they seem to be holding up well. I'm only going to dock stars based on the difficulty of the install but this is at no fault of the product itself.Overall, I would highly recommend this replacement bumper kit to anyone that had the same problem as me and others have had.

the only bumpers I found that actually work on gen1 elite controller. Others just jam. Colour match is ok. Paint quality is good enough but no as good as oem.

Fitted perfectly and fantastic quality.

I used this for 2 months each one with 2 hours everyday almostly.This bumper has a same broken point as the original part.If you wanna buy this, please consider its life time under 4 months with 2 pieces.
