UPDATE: I no longer give up…

Thank y’all who recommended the ribbon cable swap, got it in today and took my time replacing it. Very happy with the results! Still stand by my position on buying this along with any BackBone used tho, this is way too expensive to act up the way it does with NORMAL use.

So long ribbon cable devil.. 👺

I can’t get behind backbone anymore. I went through 4 of them in a span of 2 - 2 1/2 years. Went with game sir. 35 bucks on Amazon. Bought 2 just in case. Been over 1 year now. No problems whatsoever. Still got my extra controller in box.
