    I blame Skyrim/Fallout and Dark Souls/ER, so much bumper pressing in those games.

    I also use them A LOT, even being a PC gamer lol if it supports controller, that’s how I’m playing it.

    I do think where I comfortably press it probably has to do with it.

    If you think I’m like throwing them around or doing crazy stuff like that, I don’t haha.

    Edit: If you look online, it’s very common for the bumpers to fail

      You’ve probably tried this but in case you haven’t: try putting isopropyl alcohol in the gaps around the bumpers, it can clean the contacts and make the bumpers work again.

      But yeah I’ve also has a ton of first party xbox controllers fail on me, although usually its the left stick or right trigger (I mostly play rocket league which abuses both) and was mostly the xbox one controllers so I’ve switched to more durable 3rd party controllers.

        Ha yeah, that’s how I got the elites functional again, took it apart and did it directly at the button, so far so good after several months.

        The Xbox one/core controllers though it was usually part of the thin plastic bit that connects the bumpers (it’s all one piece for some reason…)
