Repair and replacement parts for the Xbox Wireless Controller and Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 are now available directly through the Microsoft Store. Six repair parts can be found for both devices, including replacement top cases (starting at $19.99) and even PCBA boards (starting at $33.99). Some have noted that Microsoft’s parts only have a warranty period of one year, as opposed to iFixit’s offerings, which come with a lifetime guarantee.
The Elite series 2 controller repair kits range in price from $23.99 for button sets to $59.99 for a replacement PCBA and motor assembly. As you’d expect, prices are lower for the standard controller, starting at $19.99 for just the controller’s top case and going up to $34.99 for the PCBA and vibration motor. Replacement top cases are available in black and white variants, as are the buttons — sorry, fluorescent color fans.

Ah very good. And I appreciate that Microsoft still lets us use whatever f*cking batteries we want. They haven't gone the route of Nintendo and Sony with built-in batteries that were not meant to be user-replaceable. That sh1t is so f*cking annoying.
