Please use extreme caution when using WD-40 near plastic. WD-40 is a solvent and weakens and erodes plastic.

Yeah LOL sane thing happened to me I put two drops of knife oil in there because I have no wd 40 rn

my warranty expired, i figured why not. I used PL-100 then BAM! my poke check button works again in NHL24, thanks dude great tutorial

Amazing fix, I had no idea how much that RB was holding me back. Went god mode on Fornite, as I now have perfect control. Thank you!!! P.S a flat head works just fine to remove the faceplate, just start at the bumber create a little seperation via a 45 degree rotation and continue the process slowly across both sides of the controller.

This does fix it however it’s not a permanent fix and I recommend spraying it at least 2 or 3 times before closing the cover back on. For me this only fixed the double clicking issue I fixed the unresponsive button by flipping the plastic piece on one of the 3 other sides because after awhile the plastic piece has an indent from pressing the button many times so flipping to the one of the other flaps to make it as if the plastic piece is new

@Soughts

Hey! I sprayed mine 2 times. 10-15 hours after spraying everything works flawlessly. Had another controller before, spraying did not help at all. So it just worth trying, but not a guaranteed fix.

I saw a few others mention not to use WD-40 that you show using. You will want to use "WD-40 Specialist Contact Cleaner Spray" or "BW-100" vs the regular WD-40. You could also use 97-99% Isopropyl Alcohol on a Q-Tip. The regular WD-40 will leave a residue that will accumulate dust and grime over time, the others are quick drying cleaners for use on electrical components and circuits.

There's actually a wd-40 made for cleaning electronics, so I'd suggest using that instead.

Watched this at work and knew I had the exact problem and is the reason I don’t use it anymore, anyways I get home rewatch how easy it is to open the front with the proper tools and then I used 70% rubbing alcohol to clean the bumper and it fixed it!

Thanks bro, I was scared to use WD 40 after someone else mentioned it can melt plastic, so I used some Equate 91% Isopropyl Alcohol with a small brush and it seems to working perfectly now

You don't need to use wd40 you could use alittle alcohol with a q tip this also works with the white and black series pro it worked for me like a charm

IF THIS DOES NOT WORK: My bumper had an issue where it would only click if I pressed hard I cut out a small piece from the sticky part of a sticky note and attached it to the plastic part in the bumper. It adds a tiny bit of height so that gentle clicks still apply full force. Hope this helps!

I used a tiny spray of lock lube and it works perfectly now rather than once every 3 or 4 presses… knowing this like 2 years ago could have saved me a lot of money

Hello sir I have problem with my controller it wasnt calibrated my analogs didn't stick to the calibration wall and right ananolg in cod wouldn't stop just moving right and left I took it to a so called technensian and he changed shocks for 3 or 4 times last time I tested it and everything was normal but when I returned home and wanted to play after 5 min controller got crazy left analog only want to left d pads jumping 2 up and down I recalibrated it fixed but 5 min later it got crazy again this time right shock only fast turning to left and left and right sides were changed.after every successfully calibration its goes crazy again Please help me is this issue from board or shocks.its been 10 days and not fixed yet.

Is it normal to hear rattling when shaking the xbox elite series 2 controller? Im worried something has snapped and is loose making the RB button only register sometimes

USE HIGHLY CONCENTRATED ISOPROPYL ALCOHOL. This will both clean and remove and debris in the spot shown which is typically the issue. 99% Isopropyl evaporates very quickly so no need to worry about moisture or damage to surrounding parts. Put it on a Q-Tip, immediately clean the spot and wait a few minutes. Good to go.

Worked perfectly
