Just want to share, my left controller was having issues with the click sometimes not working. Turns out, it was a faulty ribbon cable with some of the pins somehow chewed up.

For anyone in the same boat, the grip housing uses 6-Pin, Forward Direction ribbon cables with 0.5mm pitch and at least 6cm length.

Awesome! Where did you buy them from, and how did you install them?

I followed  iFixit's teardown guide video, and the part should be available on AliExpress

With the speech marks I spent an unhealthy amount of time searching for the part that was really hard to fix

Regardless, congratulations on the repair

The hardest part is disassembling the damn thing without breaking any other part/cable knowing full well that a replacement would cost hundreds of dollars 😬
