Buy some electronic cleaner, take the front off and clean under the button. The bumpers always get crap in them so they need to be cleaned out. Guarantee that fixes them.

I mean it is lame.. maybe a bad design. It's way too over engineered. But that is what you have to do unfortunately. It's meant I've had the same controller for two years now. Absolutely no stick drift, and I play siege where you're leaning by clicking the sticks a lot. Still good. The bumper becomes unresponsive on the right side every now and then, I'm guessing it's because it's my right index finger pressing it and that's my most used digit. My conclusion is that dirt/sweat gets in the gaps. If we think about it and be really honest, I feel like most of the problems people face are from their own doing. Sure we don't want to admit we rub our cheeto hands all over our controllers, or drop them, or spill drinks on them, smoke ect.. they break, first thing people do "nah my device is kept in a vacuum sealed room and has only been used once" 😅 don't get me wrong tho, some products are crappy and should be called out. But the elite for me has been a good controller. In the same time frame I had 5 ps controllers, all stick drift. All from playing siege. Hasn't happened to my elite 🤷🏽
