Microsoft Now Sells Replacement Parts for Xbox Controllers in North America
gamingbolt.comMicrosoft has taken a big step forward in supporting repairability. As caught by The Verge, the company has now started selling parts for its Xbox Wireless Controller as well as the Xbox Elite Series 2 Wireless Controller on its website.
The store features not only replacement sticks and buttons, but also entire boards. Replacement parts are available in a series of repair kits, including cheaper kits that include only the buttons, or more expensive kits including a replacement PCBA and motor assembly.
Replacement parts are currently only available in the North American market, according to Xbox Insider Program lead Brad Rossetti, who made the announcement over Twitter.
Xbox controllers have recently seen quite a few limited edition game-centric releases, including the recently-revealed Starfield limited edition Xbox Controller. Microsoft also recently released Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles-themed controllers that smell like pizza. Unfortunately, those are only available to winners of a contest.
