They don't break due to rage gaming. They have a design flaw with a weak plastic pressure post which just snaps over time. Mine broke with very little use but because they are the buttons often used in constant parrying in RPG games, they don't stand up to the task.

its kinda funny (but sad too) when you find that many cheap controlelrs on the market that stronger or better made than original xbox controllers. And I have this problem today. I use my controller for pc, maybe it has 8 months since i get it and I play random games when i can make a break, so .. no much use. Today i was playing skyrim and the RB just... broke when I press it to test a new shout. The old versions used to have slim sticks so they break easily (and I admit i was kinda a raging gamer on those times ) But now.. a BROKEN PLASTIC button? this is too much XD

Okay there is a hack for the security/tamper proof hex screw, you just use a mini/micro flat tip screwdriver. I opened my controller up and sure enough one piece of plastic was broken completely off and the other was cracked.

Sometimes that's the best way 😅

open up mine but didnt have the right torx to open it completely, but i did hear something have snapped and rattling inside, so pretty sure it must be this plastic thing then, but i dont get why my LT button wont work but the LB works fine because of this plastic thing...(edit: the button works just no response fromt the controllers LT to the Xbox)
