    I haven't seen the whole video yet but I just wanted to say I have opened the controller up and nothing even physically interferes with the button. It just doesn't work sometimes
    Edit from December of 2024: I sent it in for repair this past May. It's all good now

      @@BeatboxinCam_YT hell yeah im glad to hear it worked!!! always happy to help
      for a little bit of a longer term review for bumping it, ive had to keep doing it periodically whenever it gets jammed and the buttons have gotten a bit looser over time (wiggling back and forth when usually theyre intended to just go up and down). they still work and are reasonably responsive most of the time - though sometimes the buttons still jam in the middle of games and its a little annoying to die in the middle of a game because i was busy tapping the switch upside down. however i suspect its putting some pressure on the whole setup that is probably not great for it in the super long term (though i dont know if its the same kind of damage you would get if you just used it a lot over a year-long period). just something to keep in mind!
