SOSS GAMING 2021 Tactile Switch Repair Kit for Xbox One Controllers Base Model, S, Elite Series 1, Elite Series 2 - RB LB Bumper Button Repair & Fix (10 Pack)

Ive never done any soldering before and I was able to replace both switches in my elite series 2. I watched his video probably 10 times before I decided to buy a soldering gun and give it a go. It took a few hours (working around taking care of kids) and the hardest part was removing the old switches and getting the solder out of the through holes. I ended up cutting the old switch into four parts because I was not sure how hard I needed to pull on the switch to remove them. The second one was much easier after learning from the first. Seems to work great, I cannot speak to longevity yet.

I learned to solder through youtube videos. Burned so many tips up before that. The concept seems so easy, and for some, it is. I am not one of those people. I am a perfectionist and with soldering the more you try and make it perfect, the more you mess it up. My first solder challenge. The rumbled packs. Four wires per pack. Super easy. Get tip hot and tap the wire and they come right off. Now, putting them back is a little tricky. Dont hold the wire to the solder point and try to tap it with the iron. As soon as the contact melts the wire will move out of place. Instead, touch the iron to the spot on the board with some solder on the tip of the iron. Move the wire into place and hold your hand steady while lifting the iron off of the board. Okay, practice is over. To remove the switch, I made sure I put flux paste all over the solder points, got the iron nice and hot, grabbed the switch with a pair of pliers, and just like in the video on youtube, kept the iron moving back and forth, touching the iron to two points at a time, until I finally freed it from the board. The hardest part was removing the solder from the holes in order to put a new switch in. I just was not able to get the solder sucker to suck the solder off. (that sounded weird) Anyway, I tried using some speaker wire to wick away the solder. No luck. I took a can of compressed air aimed it at the holes and as soon as it melted, I blasted it away. Not the ideal method but I suck at solder sucking too. There was still some residual solder making it hard for me to seat the new switches. After the first try, the one switch was a hair too high off the board and made the button stick. I took it back apart and pressed down on the switch and kept moving the iron over all the connections. It finally sat all the way into place. I put it back together. It works great. The button does not register twice per press anymore so Im not shifting from 1st to 3rd instead of 1st to 2nd. It was definitely worth it. Oh and one last thing, when you remove the left and right bumper piece, be sure to see what you are unclipping. I managed to snap the little piece of plastic that hooks it into place. However, it really didnt serve a purpose other than keeping the bumper strip in place while reassembling.

Fit perfectly and works very well, was able to fix my xbox elite v2 controller when there are none on the shelves for warranty.

Everything you need is here.

Excellent replacement part only complaint is its not as clicky as the original. You definitely need to know soldering skills to install

These helped me a lot! Saved me $180 for a brand new controller and they work great. Installing is a pain but that’s the controllers fault not these buttons

Fixed the controller bavk to new in an hour. Thanks! A+ Also when you put the back plastic back on make sure you press the LT and RT buttons all the way down so it slides right in.

With the YouTube video and recommended tools, install was pretty simple. Controller works great now. Beats getting a refurbed one from Microsoft in place of my brand new one.

Excelente producto y me funciono muy bien.

The repair kit had everything you will need to repair an Xbox controller except the small amount of sober youll need to make the connections.
