My ABXY buttons, particularly A are not responding well. Needs too much pressure to register an input. How would you fix that? Are there just contacts and a spring that need to be cleaned? Or are there switches that you can buy separately and replace (if so I couldn’t find any)? Or would you need an entirely new board?

@theunit19 could be the plastic switches that you push down on a membrane. Take a look at this video and at 8:00 you see what those look like. You see where the membrane close the switches when depressed. Sort of like the buttons on a remote. You can clean those with a pencil eraser and some isopropyl alcohol. Replacing the plastic push buttons may also help. these guides will help you to work on your controller Xbox One Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 Repair
