How to FIX BROKEN R2 + L2 Buttons on PS4 CONTROLLER (Button Replacement)
Ойындар
Is your PS4 Controller R2 or L2 button sticking or just not working in general? In this video, I am going to show you how to take apart your PS4 controller and replace your broken button. Taking apart your PS4 controller is rather easy, you will need a small scrw driver and about 10 minutes of time.
I've had to repair my dualshock 4 controller about 5 times since I've bought it. If I didn't by extra buttons, I would have just threw away the controller and bought a new one, so this guide can save you money. And don't be afraid to try this out, it's easy! Just be careful and move slow.

Saved me $65. I’ll admit I was a little intimidated to take a PS4 controller apart but everything stays in the front area and swapping out an R2 button with a broken peg was super easy. Got a 5 pack of L2/R2 buttons and springs off Amazon for $7 and went ahead and bought a TX9 so I can clean the dust out from my console using your other video. Thank you 😊

My L2 button is always broken. I was just trying to replace the battery and quite possibly an analog stick.
My problem is that when I play racing games my r2 doesn't let my car have the full accerlation it makes the rpm goes slow.

@@ayogoose3535 find out if you have the v1 or the v2(light bar on touch bar) and buy the replacement bumpers. It's fairly easy to take apart and swap the pieces out. If that doesn't work then buy a new pad. They're fairly cheap

You explained this with the angles needed to actually see how to do this correctly!! Thank you
the main trouble i was having was in removing one of the trigger buttons from the bottom side of the clamshell, exactly as it happened to you in your video. Regardless of my method to remove the button, it remained adamant in its place. The spring associated with it however, had come lose so it was imperative that the trigger button be removed so that the spring can be replaced. Only after watching your helpful video was it clear that there was a slight trick to removing it; and once the said trick was employed, removing the trigger ceased to be an obstacle. Thank you very much for this freely provided knowledge.
I bought a pair of trigger extenders I didn't realize that you had to disassembled the actual controller to put them in and install them but after watching this video I feel really confident thanks
Me watching the video unsure how he pulled it out so easily and put it back: •👄•

Thanks also ..was my first attempt at a fix and those springs were horrid to do but it worked in end .. worried that power cable didn't put light on when I reinserted but all was good ..thanks again
Thanks for the Video. My shoulder buttons came off when I opened it and I had no idea how the were meant to be put back on. This video saved me a lot of frustration.
Thanks man this helped a lot ❤️
My R2 button was locked open and I used this video to fix it. My controller is a 2018 model I believe and the spring is in a different location but this video still helps a lot.

Bro u saved me from not buying a new controller thank you so much
thanks man, needed to know how those triggers went in. I appreciate the video!
I didn't even have to get replacement buttons. My L2 was just faulty and barely registers. After opening it and checking the button itself and underneath it, it suddenly worked fine. Thanks for the instructions! Your controller is so much easier to prise open compared to mine.
This is one of the best fixing and fastest way to fix my l2 problem when I try to aim
that really helped my L2 was broken and it actually worked
The best guide on KZread, So much better than other videos, plus the perfect length. I brought 2 new ones before I saw how easy it was to replace. Now I've got 4 controllers, 1 not even out the box. I might have to send that to amazon now and order a pack of buttons and springs. Thanks for a great guide, detailed and easy to follow. Now do I want the money back for the controller or the camo one I got :/ Anyway cheers bro
THANK YOU. I stepped on my DualShock and the L2 button popped out. Thankfully the spring was still intact, so all I had to do was open the controller to be able to snap the button back in, and this video helped me do it.

I watched like a minute of this video then I threw my controller and now my R2 works. Pro strats
"anything will do" is not a good thing to say when it comes to screwdrivers. It's a Phillips head which is pretty common but if someone uses the wrong driver then it could ruin the threads on the screws preventing them from opening their controller.

Thanks Bro, Our controllers are set up differently but you helped.
Fantastically explained. Loved the step by step detail. Far better than any other video I watched for the purpose. You could stand to up the camera work so it's easier to see what you're doing but it wasn't a hindrance at all. Good job.
Thanks for the video. I didn't have to disconnect all thr things you did. It was really easy to repair mine. Just knock it out en put 1 back in and that's it. But again, thanks for the video❤

I looked online and people said that you should clean it out. Down at the L2 buttone was some dirt or something, so I took a toothpick and cleaned that out. I also put my mouth on the L3 button and try to blow in it. All of that worked and I don't have it anymore

Thank you, you are a lifesaver. I came here because my L2 and its spring popped out while replacing the battery and I didn’t know how to put back that darn spring! Your video took a while to understand but I was successful. I think the part with the spring’s groove needs to be zoomed in or annotated a bit for people like me with bad eyes ;-) The controller shell reassembly instructions were perfect.
I've never had this problem but thanks for helping us good vid btw
Did a battery replacement L2 button spring pops off found your video put it back together easy good look
Thank you so much you are a life saver
Thanks! That was helpful, cool hat 😎
Thanks for the video man. Just subbed!
Yo thx man I raged hard on sifu and the r2 button fell out thx for the help of taking the shell of I was scared it would break
Thank it was actually simple
Thank you so much !!!! It took me 3 hours due to the fact that I don’t have the screwdriver now I fix my issue you deserve a sub!!
Thanks man was preety heplful and made my r2 work tnx to u
Thank you so much great video!

This vid helped me so much you cant even imagine it. I have 2 controllers and 1 of them broke today (a joystick is weird), this one broke 1-2 months ago, the l2 was always pressed. I was looking up a lot of vids and yours is the best. Thank you so much man.
You are a legend ❤️
Maaan thank you for this video. I totally fixed and replaced the R2 button, though it was my 1st time opening my controller and I was fckn scared if I wrongfully move some of the wires in it that will cause malfunction, well I pulled it off, i did it! Thanks! 🙏
THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!!
Thank You So much! Its my first time To open The controller and it worked after i changed the R2, Thank you so much

Thanks now I’ve completely broken it
Thank you:)
Very nicely and clearly shot...well explained too.
Boi you just helped me from buying another controller
Thank you sir
If by any of you have the problem is that you can’t go full acceleration or full sprint speed or any problem of that kind, you should open up your controller and under the R2 (or L2) trigger there is a rubber which is probably broken or has a cut in it. If you replace that rubber or tape a really small plastic (need a strong plastic so the button doesn’t go through it) on it, it is fixed and your button works again.

NikobsuperGaming PL if you pause this video at 3:45 you can see the rubber (the grey thing where he puts the R2 button over) that is the rubber that is probably broken. So just follow this video on how you get to the point where you see the rubber and when you see the rubber, fix it with some strong tape or order a new rubber online and replace it
