Be prepared for taking apart the entire controller!!! Cool buttons haven't installed yet, found out I have to take apart the controller and all the circuit boards. I'll get around to it eventually. 🤣

Wasn't hard for me to installBut if your not familiar with intricate instalation. There is YouTube videos that will walk you through it. I recommend buying the 10 dollar tool kit they sell as well on Amazon. Took maybe half an hour to install. The weight of the shell casings proves there real. Great look and works good

Very great look and build quality, however the fit is just not right, it sits a tiny bit too small making them able to wiggle around, other than that amazing

The buttons fit good, and there is a little bit of play from side to side as the diameter of 9mm is a little smaller than the original A, B, X, Y buttons. 10mm would’ve been closer to the actual size of the original buttons.Obviously they’re not as comfortable as the rounded smooth buttons that come with your controller but I understood that when I bought them. My only real con would be that the B button does sit a little low, it would’ve been nice to have it a couple cm taller.

Customized friends controller because he saw mine absolutely loves it. The buttons are really nice to use no complaints. Easy installment would recommend to anyone.If you’re first time or I would recommend looking it up and making sure you look up the correct Xbox, which is Xbox controller S/X not one.

Very Impressed with the quality of the bullet buttons. They have come along way since the xbox 360 ones. the make is nice and they fit quite well. little wiggle room on the sides between the shell but its not a oem part so no biggie to me. They press down just as easy as the stock buttons with no issue. Do take care when installing them into the Elite controller if you are a beginner because you can rip some wires off if you are not using a soldering iron. Side note: Received an email from the company the day they were being delivered letting me know when they should arrive and they included video instruction on how to install them as well. Very impressed 10/10

Comfortwise these buttons tank badly in that category but as for looks they look great when you first get them but if you play with that controller all the time it will wear off. Just know what you're getting yourself into before buying these buttons to customize your controller because its not as easy to assemble as you would think. Now the shotgun joysticks are easy to install. But they are big so they arent comfortable either and it too wears off but wayyyy faster than the actual abxy buttons. All in all its an ok product. More of a novelty than necessary if you ask me

My grandson wanted these buttons on his new controller so I installed them. Installation is a pain (and I have 40 years in electronics) but do-able if you have the tools and knowledge. If you don't have experience servicing electronic devices, I would not recommend attempting this on your own. To remove all the screws for disassembly, you must remove or puncture the serial number label after which I would assume that any warranty work would be denied. That's just about a given with any warranty company.Once installed, the buttons have a sloppy feel (but they look cool!) and after about five minutes of use, my grandson said that they were nowhere as good as the original buttons so I went through the disassembly again and re-installed the originals.Basically a waste of 10 bucks. Stick with the original buttons - they were put there by design engineers and passed through multiple factory quality control tests. Plus, that's one less reason the warranty company has to deny your claim.

Definitely feels like real bullet casings I definitely recommend them. Just make sure to watch a tutorial video. The seller is very friendly.

My teen son asked for these buttons (with the matching thumb controllers) to customize his Xbox One controller. The swap out was no small task. He was so frustrated and upset at one point, I thought he would start crying; he is absolutely not a crier. First, there are no written instructions. There is a youtube instructional video. Secondly, he had to take it completely apart at least five times over several days period, just to get all of the buttons to work properly. His stepdad had to finally help, which required a trip to Home Depot for solder and a soldering iron because my son accidentally pulled off one of the wires in the middle of all of this. I fully expected to have to buy a new controller. He said if he had to do it all over again, he would not. Personally, I wouldn't have the patience or the know-how to get the controller back together and working again. (I wanted to throw it away.) All of that just to change out the buttons. I don't really think it's the quality of the buttons, per se, but the ability to know how to take apart a controller and swap the buttons out. The price is acceptable for the product, but the amount of work and effort to get those in and working properly, not worth it.

I got these buttons to replace the original set that came with the Xbox One-S controller for my son and I actually ended up putting together a completely custom controller all just from buying these 9mm bullet casing buttons to start it all. These not only look fantastic, but they actually feel pretty good for being authentic 9mm bullet casings used as buttons. If you're looking for a nice little way to change the looks of your Xbox One(s/x) controller then I suggest starting off with the buttons and a new faceplate to go with the new buttons. I can say that I have learned that it is actually a hell of a lot better when I have absolutely everything I need to or want to change out on a Xbox One-S controller all at the same time, so that way when I take apart one of my Xbox One-S controllers I'm not having to put it back together just to take it back apart the very next day. I personally suggest that you get yourself a game plan together and it might help to make a list of what you're looking to swap out and what you're overall look that you're trying to accomplish in your design. Believe it or not you can absolutely customize the entire looks of a Xbox One-S controller and if you go about it the right way it shouldn't cost you that much in the end, but if you were to design a Xbox One-S controller through the Microsoft Xbox then you're looking at a price tag of that around $100. I personally don't think it's even a question for me to do the work myself rather than to pay for a outrageous amount just to do what I can do for myself
