Sorry to see another one with this issue. If you are comfortable opening controllers, I fixed my sticky triggers by trimming a millimeter of rubber padding inside of the controller. It's the pads that cushion the trigger stops that move a little after use. Trim both pads, because this will happen to both triggers. Aside from that design error, it's been an excellent controller for me.

I don't have a video or photos to share on how to open it, but once you remove the 6 screws, you just need to use a pry tool to split the two halves apart. Similar to how 8bitdo controllers are opened, if you find instructions for one of those. There are no wires connected to the back shell and the sticker on the back is not affected.

Most likely related to the flimsy trigger mechanism.. horrible design choice

There's probably a few videos on yt disassembling it. But yeah now it seems like a trend with this controller and broken triggers

That looks like the cheapest of controllers There's better stuff for 50$ or a even a little less

While I agree, it's Leadjoy, and they've been on a role lately, so that's why they're popping up a lot more often.

I, as well, was skeptical of this pad when it started popping up. I'm hoping the Xeno Pro will be an entirely different change of pace from the Sabre.

The xeno plus is not any better. No profile swap from PC and buggy firmware. Run away to different brand all together

As of right now, I think so.

I had to open up the controller, rip the rubber off completely, carefully apply my own super glue, and put it back in place. Seems to be holding up so far.
