What´s the size of the LB and RB button
« on: August 10, 2012, 01:43:34 AM »
Hi guys

I have some faulty controllers of Xbox 360 with LB or RB button and I want to replace them. I have searched on ebay but I have found different sizes. For example:

http://www.ebay.es/itm/280925410446?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

http://www.ebay.es/itm/360476012500?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

Do you know the correct size?

Thanks in advance

The Stem height you're looking for is ~3.85mm, those are too big.
Screwing up is one of the best learning tools, so long as the only thing you're not learning is how to screw up.

Technically you can, though you'll probably need to sand or Dremel down the plastic posts on the actual LB/RB buttons a bit if you use 4.3mm ones.

RDC, I have bought 4.3mm and 5mm buttons and they are smaller than the original button. The 5mm button is close to the original. Maybe 5.5mm would be fine?

5.5mm should work fine if they're measuring the stem height from the back of the switch, which is wrong, but it's what it looks like they're doing there if the 5mm is a tad too short.
