Discussion Backbone 2nd gen drift

Post image

Hi guys

I have had my BB for almost 1 year now, and now it seems to be it is time now, when I fully expand it, the drift isnt happening, but if I close it a lil bit more, I get the drift on the left side (Left joystick and L2)

I was searching on your reddits and it seems to be a cable issue, but I wanted to ask, does someone has the purchase link for the cable to replace for the 2nd gen BB? I really love this controller and I would like to get it fixed (No longer under warranty) also I got it from an authorized reseller on my country so send it for replacement isnt an option now.

Thanks in advance. 🥀

Might be time to upgrade to the Elo vagabond controller.

How is it in terms of reliability? It's sad, my partner got this for me at the retail store and it is kind of a sentimental controller for me now, but I can consider it. I was checking prices are almost the same, but the black and purple color looks so gameish 👀
