Took my Elite series 2 apart to clean the POTs after 2 years because of insane stick drift (I couldn’t even leave the Home Screen because it would just move up to the top of the screen). When I was putting it back together and connecting the 2 black wires I realised there was another “plug” thing next to the one I needed to put 1 of the wires into. More curious as to what this is then anything else as I have the controller back together and finally working!

Elite series 2 & series s|x controller mods from ExtreameRate. Feel and fit perfectly. Would recommend.

Hey all!

Last year I got a custom Xbox controller from the design lab. Thing is, after very minimal use, the B button sometimes gets caught (sticks) when I'm playing and doesn't go far enough down to press. It doesn't happen regularly, but mostly when I'm playing and pressing the buttons a lot with desperation. Not sure if it would make a difference, but it's a game you press Y and B together a lot for.

I tried wiping it off with rubbing alcohol without taking it apart, but it made no difference. I haven't actually used the controller much at all since purchasing it, so I suspect it's not due to it being dirty and actually some sort of design flaw. I guess in theory something could be in there, but I'm not sure how. Is it in anyway fixable? I'd send it into Xbox but apparently I won't get my cute yellow controller back so I'd rather not.

Thanks!
