You Rolls the Dice, You Takes Your Chances
I was considering getting the XBox Elite controller Series 2 and decided to do some online research to see if it was worth upgrading from the Series 1 controller I already had. Turns out, both use the crappy second-gen regular controller bumper design that everyone is complaining about, so I stuck with my Series 1. Sure enough, just two weeks later, my own right bumper broke (after using the controller for only three months). So I found myself once again doing online research, this time to see if a broken bumper could be replaced/repaired, sparing me the expense of a brand-new controller. Came across this kit, which was the only one that had bumpers that appeared to match mine in colour, so I ordered it. Here's a quick synopsis:Pros: 1) The colour matches the original Elite bumpers perfectly 2) If you can get the replacement piece to fit, it works exactly the same as the original bumpersCons: 1) The housing unit cannot be separated from the bumpers (the housing unit is the rectangular piece with the big, round hole for the XBox button). Why does this matter? See 2). 2) Despite the claims in the second vendor photo ("PRECISION ENGINEERED...PERFECT FIT), the housing unit is missing the center tab that helps position the unit as a whole and keeps it stabilised (see my own photo for where this tab would be on an original XBox controller bumper unit (the empty red square)). I wanted to use the housing piece from my Elite controller and fit it with the bumpers from this kit, but the bumpers could not be separated from the housing unit...ALSO despite another vendor claim (that "the middle piece can be take [sic] apart easily"). 3) Again, despite claims of "precision engineering" and a "perfect fit", the first bumper unit I tried would not go in/on. I watched several different Youtube videos demonstrating the process, both before and during my attempt to attach this unit, but it would not go on. Then, I remembered at least one of the reviews (I don't remember if it was for this particular unit) saying that the pieces they received were not all identical, so I tried the second unit that came with this product, and had it in and working in five seconds. 4) Comes with pieces you don't need to replace the bumper unit (namely, the T6 screwdriver), which probably drives up the price slightly. Why this kit includes a completely unnecessary tool, I have no idea.So, while I'm happy I got my Elite controller working again, this new bumper unit will probably break soonish (no fault of this kit, but of the original controller design they are matching), and I'll have to order a whole new kit, since this one does not appear to allow me to use a new bumper unit in the existing housing unit, and the second assembly piece that came with it is unusable. If I could use both assembly units and/or use my old housing unit, I would have given this at least one more star.

These saved my Elite Controller!
When I heard that sickening crunch of breaking plastic and felt the right bumper snap lose in my Xbox Elite Controller, my heat sank. The thought of being out over a hundred bucks on this controller was bad enough, but the idea of replacing it made my stomach lurch. I haven't owned my Elite Controller so long that I can justify buying a new one, but oh man do I love the thing! Thinking of going back to a standard Xbox controller was just as dreadful an idea in my mind. They simply are not as comfortable to hold and use as my Elite Controller is.Fortunately, these replacement bumpers were exactly what I needed! They were a little bit tricky to I stall, but having done so my favorite game controller is now working perfectly again. Best of all is that there are 2 sets of bumpers in the pack, so even if the bumper breaks again I am still covered. The description for this product is right though, these do seem a ton sturdier than the ones that were factory installed, so hopefully it will be quite awhile before another replacement is required.
