> 24 hourJust put these into my Xbox Elite series 2. Had a problem with rb not responding all the time. Changed it out also did lb just to cover my bases. My controller works like new. Hopefully these hold up. If not will update.

> 24 hourThis is a great kit. The tools are great. The sensors are (Elite Series 1) far better than what comes standard on an Elite Series 2 from the factory. Great little kit. Well put together.

> 24 hourThe hardest part of this whole job is de-soldering the old switches. I ended up cutting the old switches out. In retrospect, I think heating up all four pins simultaneously would have been a better idea. Their YouTube video recommends this method but shows several other techniques, as well. Choose what works best given your skills and tools. A commenter on the video mentioned that you dont have to de-solder the rumble packs. That person was correct. Theres enough slack in the black & gray wires to disassemble everything. Just be careful to not tug on the wires. One tip. The buttons will inevitably fall out or become dislodged during disassembly. They are all keyed, so make sure they are oriented correctly or else they wont fit snugly in their respective holes. The video doesnt mention this and speeds through this part of the reassembly. I spent way too much time struggling to reattach the blue board, which rests on top of the buttons. Other than that, this was a great repair kit. The 2 Torx screwdrivers and metal spudge did the job. A plastic spudge is included but I never used it. Im hoping the switches will last longer than the originals. The seller claims these are higher quality switches that are used on the previous generation controller, so well see. Since the kit comes with 10 switches, I can always redo the repair.

> 24 hourIve 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.

> 24 hourThe parts I got were good quality, new, and clean. That is, not scraped out parts like some places offer. The ten pack means that I have stock for further repairs later for people, and the one tool they sent with is sort of cool. Made it a whole lot easier to open the controller itself.
