My first original DS had a small problem with R. My DS Lite lost both of them almost immediately and has been fixed twice, with them both dying again right afterwards. My second original DS hasn't had any problems, but I did snap the hinge by accident. My 3DS hasn't had any problems yet.

Both L and R buttons on my original DS are completely unusable, and I'm not sure why. The shoulder buttons on my DSi and 3DS function just fine, but I feel like they're going to break easily if I use them too much or if I press to hard...

I'm not entirely sure if I'm not doing something right, or if I'm just very careful. But I have no problems with my shoulder problems. The most I've had was it was sticky, but that was only because I spilled cola on it.

Well as long as you aren't button jamming like the guys who play Street Fighter on a Sega Genesis (I'd love to play it if I was better at fighters) then those DS buttons should last for ages. So far I haven't had any issues myself and I find those shoulder buttons handy for scrolling through PC Boxes in Pokémon... When I don't use the touch screen of course.

My first DS Lite had little problems with shoulder buttons, the touch screen broke though. My DS Lite now has (for the most part) an unusable L button, while the R button is fine. My 3DS has no problems thus far, and I hope it stays that way for the rest of it's battery life. Only 2 hours remain....

Strangely, it's just the DS Lite and 3DS I've had problems with. Never any problems with my original DS, my PSP, and none of my controllers for my home consoles. My phone's L and R buttons work perfectly, too.

I lost a DS Lite all because my L shoulder button broke for some reason or another, it came off the hinges or something and would not longer connect to the inner mechanics to make the button do an action. I am now with my current DS that I have, however, the L button is once again starting to become a bit iffy. There is no fix for it as far as I'm aware of, or at least for someone who does not want to take their DS apart. So if it breaks, I'll be stuck without a DS as I've had far too many replacements in my lifetime (around 6). I do admit, I wish more games would utilize them more though in particular the Pokemon games... they just kinda sit there and only work in the PC-Storage boxes and that's about it, pretty useless.

Since I don't use my Nintendo 3DS a lot, I can't tell if the shoulder buttons have been improved on since the Nintendo DS Lite and the Nintendo DSi. What I do know is, the shoulder buttons on my Nintendo DS Lite are still working. The only thing is that the "L" Button sometimes doesn't work, and I have to press it back into place a few times before it'll work efficiently. Other than that, the shoulder buttons on my DS Lite are quite-well built.

This. This was one game I was unable to play when my DS' L button broke, it was very frustrating since I had just gotten the game at that point. Now I'm not a fan of games that use the button exclusively for a function SO important and vital to the gameplay. |
