- One mans "Trash" is another mans "Treasure". It was time for another project, I found a broken Xbox One Elite controller on ebay, it was a deal that I couldn't pass up. I was going to fix it but I couldn't resist adding some style to it as well. Enjoy.

Faceplate: www.ebay.com/it...
I bought a "broken" elite controller off eBay for $60 bucks with all the accessories. Took me less than 5 minutes to fix the bumper so now I have a perfectly working elite controller for half the price.
EJ_5150 I’ve had mine since day one it’s got hundreds of hours of use and has been dropped multiple times and I’ve never had a problem with it.
EJ_5150 it not actually bad.Its just how good people are on taking care of their controllers. I have a Xbox one Gears of war 4 edition and it is totally fine.
that's what people get when they're too cheap to buy the extra 2 year warranty for $20
KorkoWoW am I still able to buy it and I got the controller like a week ago?
im not too sure honestly, return it and buy another one ? lol
There's something about The Curious Consumer and Elite modifications. And it's beatyful!
Talma good english lmao
it looks gorgeous!
Is it just me or does every single Xbox controller have something wrong with the left bumper
😂😂 ironic but true
Both of my controllers had that problem. And I don't drop my controllers.
@@jimb1117 Yes, my left bumper was broken for the last 2 or 3 months and I put a rubber band on it to stop it from falling out. A week or so ago my right bumper broke and it would fall out unless I put a rubber band on it.
I replaced my bumpers a day or 2 later with the bumpers I brought for my original Xbox controller.
Man sure inspired me to customize my own controller.
Wow that controller looks beautiful !
The curious consumer I Just Ordered One On eBay For $40 no no parts or original case or original box 📦 no backdoor for batteries no thumbsticks or Dpads Oh And Nice Vid👍🏽
The *red ring* , you know what that means
just a fair warning for anyone looking to fix a broken elite controller from ebay, i bought one a while back, and in the description it said that it turned on but one of the trigger locks was broken making the trigger unusable, when i got the controller i put batteries in, it didnt turn on, but i got into it ad fixed the trigger, checked the connections between the upper ad lower board, and discovered there was motherboard damage that would essentially require the entire motherboard to be replaced. definitely not worth my time or money, so be weary buying these things from the wholesellers, may not come as described
The guy of eBay got fanessed, the seller said it didn’t sync to his console but it synced so fast😂😂😂😂
I just found your channel its AWESOME, i Love what you do i subscribed and liked your video.
You deserve more views.
Been wanting one of these controller but beautiful design and route u took
How about actually showing the build instead of just a before and after
Lance Bennett because not everyone can meet your demands and needs, other people want to see it fully
How about you dont tell people how to make their OWN videos
relax
Stfu kid
Facts!!!!
You can get a battery case for the Xbox Elite controller for cheap on eBay.
It's so hard to find a place that sell L and R bumpers that fit perfectly
You know what would be a nice bonus feature on the Xbox One Elite controller ? If the next one I get has bumpers that dont break after 5 or 6 months and rubber that doesnt peel off the back. Im on my third one. This time I think Im just going to replace the bumpers on amazon and maybe glue the rubber. Shitty quality product for the price. Im not sure how fucking hard it wouldve been to put in bumpers like the ps4 has or a metal piece between the two bumpers so it doesnt snap in the middle. Probably not a big seller so microsoft doesnt give a shit. Nice controller besides those 2 issues.
Where do you get your replacement parts? I have 2 elites that need refurbishing and would like to do it myself, thank you.
That looks lit 🔥
This is a freaking sweet buy.
i learned a lot in this channel keep up the good work sir!!!i hope you gain more subscriber because you deserve it!!!
that controller is nice!
The micro USB port on my elite controller is completely broken any way to fix it. I’m pretty sure the port needs to be replaced.
My RB broke recently these vids help
I wanted to say thank you I was about to just paint my controller but after watching your video I see there's many more options
Like covers that are already done and are a good price
TheMetalmachine467 PAINT?
Mr. Pointless yes spray paint
thats what a men to broken stuff from the internet. good jib ;)
Is it bad if you use your bumper while it is broken or should I replace it right away?
awesome score!
Wow, that's even better than the halo one!
You should’ve changed the silver middle piece between the bumpers
It would look even better if you got the g.o.w. A b y and x buttons
Also I suggest you buy your parts off eBay because you can get genuine pieces like the original bumpers
I call shenanigans
I have the same charging station that u have and 2 unmoded Xbox elite controllers but when my last lb or rb bumper brake im gonna order something from china to mod it. Nice gow mod u did on your elite.
I got an elite controller off ebay because it wouldn't sync! But when I got it everything was fine!
Hey, love your videos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. C an you do a special elite controller giveaway?
Nice job
If your controller isn't syncing with your xbox, try unplugging the Xbox and hard restarting it.
I would love to see you make a tutorial about fixing the grips on the xbox one elite. I have seen alot of people complain about this and there are zero videos about this. There is a way to replace the outer grips but nothing for doing anything about the inner grip.
Add the home button color change mod from extreme rate and Make it red
Hey man. I love watching your videos. Do you mod controllers for customers? If so how much? I'm interested
I bet you'll never be able to get your dead zones less than 20 with that controller simply because it looks like it has been abused and used. The thumbsticks have probably lost there precision
Keep doing videos man , i like your content , i will suscribe , i like when you buy damage thinks and you mod/fix it :D
+The Curious Consumer hey is there any way i can contact you? bc i have a modded controller i bought awhile back but now it wont connect to my xbox nor sync :( :( & my sisters dogs chewed it up so i was wondering if you could repair for me & bring it back alive
Could you pls tell what screwdriver I have to use
Love your video's btw
Koen van Zeggeren a t8 security screw driver
Hey bro I like what you do here on RUclips but do you sell any of your controllers
Wish I had elite controller
Talk about lucky!
Can You Make A Xbox 360 Elite Controller That Is All Black And Silver On The Back, The Triggers, The Bumpers And The Top With The Xbox One Buttons And The Elite DPAD
I'm really enjoying your channel. do you know if a set of grips meant for a standard controller would fit a elite.
chadg should be the same
Wow sir do u sell the repair controller if so how can I get one and how much do u sell them for looking for a used controller
Wow I wish I could send u my broken controller that a good job
I just bought a Elite without components, the listing said the exact issue was unknown but had issues that could be the culprit listed to cover their butt against disputes when someone buys one (they had multiple and it's still up). It was listed $39.99 on eBay and I opted to pay for faster shipping $4.99. eBay has that guaranteed delivery now so it arrived late got my shipping money back got the controller and only has a broken RB and the rest of it is totally functional. Overall I spent about $60 bucks for a Elite controller. It feels great in the hands but I'm planning on replacing the faceplate. People, sometimes buying "broken" is good and I try to do it as frequently as I can since I was a youngin. You don't always have to pay retail!
U finessed the fuck outta that eBay guy
Do u sell your refurbished products if so how much and how much to fix controls
awesome. Try the Scuf handles. I just got some and i love them. for 30 bucks you get the handles and a set of thumbsticks. The thumb stick are really good to.
How do people get this controller dirty or broken I’ve had mine for a year and a half and it still had the new smell
Xbox EpicAssasin306 ppl smash it lol
They dont cherish the controller enough
Hi buddy, I've got myself a faulty elite series 1 controller and first major issue is the power doesn't stay on. I've put a fully charged battery pack in it and it powers on for a split second then goes off. Do you have a video explaining how I can fix this or could you recommend me something to read or watch. Would be much appreciated. Thanks.
imam buying broken elite controller now lmao
I'm planning on replacing my triggers on my Xbox one s. Can you do a video showing that.
omg I was bidding on this same controller the other day and you outbid me at 10 seconds left. lol
Nice untill the grips come off.
i want one of these controllers but damn that left bumper problem
yeah man just wait for the RAZOR wolverine that is coming out and see how the reviews are

The ELITE is made very cheap as you can see from all the issues they have!
Why would you ever play a shooter with a controller
Hi the link is not available anymore..is there any place I can find it?
Hey Ben, bought a broken one, it powers of for a second the switches off even with new batteries. I'm thinking it might be a capacitor issues. Any ideas?
where did you get the bumpers you used for the repair? I saw in another comment you got them from amazon, but what brand did you actually buy? I'm seeing some negative reviews on the bumpers i have found on amazon
+Zach Morgan, The bumpers do get a bad reputation because they aren't as easy to install as they are to take out. I wouldn't let the negative reviews keep you away. The bumpers I used didn't have great reviews and they work great. I hope this helps, let me know how your mod goes I'd love to know. Thanks again for watching.
Alright so, same as you, I got the controller off of ebay except the only listed issue was a broken right bumper. When I got the controller, I noticed that one of the thumb sticks was loose, and upon further investigation, it turned out the actual base for the thumb sticks was broken. This combined with the fact that the bumpers I got didn't fit so well with the default silver center piece that the bumpers connect to lead me to turn this into a bit of an experiment. The bumpers did fit with the center piece they came with perfectly and that snapped right onto the controller without issue. So after, I got that piece on, I replaced the magnetic thumb sticks with a set of matching blue thumb sticks that came with the replacement bumper/button set. Just so that everything would match, I also replaced the d-pad with the matching one from the same set. So, until the new magnetic base gets in, I'm using standard thumb sticks and a standard d-pad. What I have noticed so far is that these standard parts seem to feel a lot better on the elite controller. The bumpers themselves fit great and I hardly notice the difference between the bumpers i replaced on this one and the bumpers on my default/un-modded elite controller. Thanks for getting back to me about the bumpers, I probably would have still been looking for a set of bumpers by now. Also just for the record, the sticker on the back was in tact and untampered with so no one had messed around inside of it before I got to it. Thanks for the help!
How much did you pay for the controller?
+Albert Tejada it was $49.99 on ebay
How much was the whole build? I might try this
So me paying $95 shipped for a new one was still a really good deal then?
EJ_5150 yes considering you got all the thumbsticks, paddles and the usb cable. I bought a broken controller with the same bumper issue and a slow drifting left joystick for $50 but now I have to buy a new shell, paddles, and a few joysticks to replace the joysticks in the elite controller and my current controller.
I bought mine in a "mystery bag" type listing for 39.99 and same exact thing, only RB was broken. What a deal, overall bout $60 for a functional Elite 👍🏻
But now its good
hey Ben, where did you get the red bumpers? I can't recall you said it came with the gears component pack you bought.
+prodriguez32 oh I bought them on Amazon
The Curious Consumer -thanks I'll get to searching Amazon.
Red Controller Of Death (Lol)
I want to know how much charge to custom xbox one controller?
Red rings on an Xbox product is normaly bad
Found another link for that faceplate

Where do I get the old ones
Lol what about the broken USB port
do they have the parts for ps4 controller
it's A God Alonzo no
What type of screwdriver do you need?
You are lucky
Where do you find those bumpers?
Can you use a standard Xbox one faceplate on the elite controller?
Mighty Macky Yes, you lose profile switch though.
What bumpers did you use?
My elite controller suffers from stick drift on the right analog is there a fix for this? It's out of warranty so don't mind taking it apart
james holmshaw Only thing you can do is replace the thumbstick module. You'll need to know how to solder to do that.
james holmshaw Sometimes the analog module just gets gunked up with sweat and dirt and a good clean will fix it.
In response to M. Parker, DeoxIT is awesome for dirty contacts on just about anything electronic. I've used it to fix keyboards, pots on guitars, anything at all that looks like it needs it. Dries quickly, and all versions are non conductive i believe.
Do I sale your controller I’m like the gears elite controller if u sale what’s your site and how much good job
Can I buy this off you?
3:00 ow, my ears
SWEET, but ps4 race
(I hope you anwer to this) quick question: Does a xbox one regular controller faceplate fit on a xbox one elite controller?
Divine Siege no because of the profile slider sorry
