Title
Xbox One Wireless Controller 1697 LT/RT Magnet Adjustment
Introduction
If your Xbox One controller has LT/RT issues, the issue likely lies with the magnets. Use this guide to take apart, relocate and place the magnets in such a way this issue is likely to come back. While there is a chance this won't fix the issue and could damage the plastics, these controllers are typically beyond repair once this happens due to the bad design from the factory.
Model 1708 controllers are not affected by this issue. However, if you have a controller with this problem, this fix is typically cheap to implement with the best chance of fixing the problem.
'''WARNING!''' further damage can be done when you seal the new heatshrink if heat is held too long.
== Guide notes ==
* This fix applies to Model 1537/1697 controllers. I am writing this for the Model 1697 controller since this is what I own. This fix does not apply to Model 1708 controllers (these are designed in a way this does not happen).
* If you attempt this fix, you may not fix the alignment correctly and do more harm then good. Be prepared to replace your controller frame if this fix does not work.
* The magnets are covered in heatshtink tubing. Once the heatshrink is cut and the magnet is relocated, you will need to seal this area again. Be careful not to burn the plastic if you use a lighter.
