Introduction

This guide offers instructions on how to replace cracked or split trigger caps in the Xbox One Wireless Controller (model 1708).

Trigger caps are pressable controls that often vibrate to provide feedback during gameplay. A cracked or split trigger cap will get jammed and will prevent the trigger motor from performing its intended function.

This guide is intended for trigger cap replacement only.

Before using this guide, examine the plastic trigger caps for any noticeable exterior damage. If you can see the trigger motors beneath the caps, this is the guide for you.

Make sure you have the proper tools and parts for this replacement and make sure your device is turned off before you begin.

    • Insert a plastic opening tool between the handle and the plate.

    • Gently slide the opening tool from the top end to the bottom end of the seam to remove the plate from the handle.

    • Repeat the process with the other side plate.

    • The plate is tightly sealed on the handle, so it may be difficult to remove.

    You should show how the plates tabs looks from the inside. The tabs all face in different directions. I ended up breaking one because I did not know it was perpendicular from the others.
