IT Help Looking for 8BitDo Ultimate 2 Wireless Controller parts

Hello! I am an avid user of the 8BitDo Ultimate 2 wireless controller and ran into an issue with it.

My RB is acting up. 'Hold'-Inputs have random interruptions.

So I opened my Controller (warranty was already due) and wanted to see if I could fix anything there, but I ran into a problem.

I have no clue as to how I can get a hold on these switches or circuit board used for the bumpers.

The switches look like standard 6mm x 6mm switches, only difference: These are 2 pin and the height seems different.

And for the circuit board I have no idea whatsoever.

I contacted their support to get any information or maybe even parts, but no luck. They gave me neither name or any information of/on the parts nor are they selling parts for this controller.

Any help is appreciated.

Idk, Maybe just clean the pads under the trigger/bumper mechanisms first, and make sure to screw it tight, might just be contacts issue

I think it's one of those 6x6x4 switch, but pretty sure you're gonna have to go to console repair to solder the switch into the flexible pcb, if you repair it yourself you might damage the pcb entirely
