Buying a new Xbox controller can cost between $60 and $180, depending on the model. That is a lot of money, especially if the rest of the controller is still in good shape. On the other hand, expert Xbox controller repair often costs much less. You might feel tempted to open up your controller and try fixing it yourself after watching a video online. While it looks simple, it can be tricky. Xbox controllers have many small and delicate parts. Without the right tools, it is easy to make the problem worse.
