Top key tower joint cuffs are too brittle

Cyborg II feedback: I have not found a similar story in the forums.
I have not had this for long, but it has broken.
The circular cuffs that hold the top key digit (can be loosened or tightened) might be brittle. I am not sure as this is not reported anywhere else.
Recommend creating a metal bracket with a rubber strip on the joint side (with adhesive) to hold that part. The metal will not fracture or snap. I do not loosen or bend this piece, so I do not know why it is developing cracks--the middle finger cuff snapped completely, so I have inserted a piece of kneaded rubber eraser under it to grip the joint and hold it until I find a better solution (that solution did not work well, the eraser does not have a strong enough grip). The towers are fine, except for the brittle cuff. Replacement of the towers would not be necessary if that one flaw were re-designed to have a replaceable metal cuff around the joint or replaceable printed bits that can be removed.
If nothing else, making that cuff separate from the rest of the tower and selling it as a kit to repair only the cuffs would be beneficial for people who only need those.
I will be finding a solution but have sent a support email to talk to someone in the interim.

I've had every single one of those towers break. Been chasing them with super glue to try to keep it together but finally they have all gone. It is a design flaw that looks like has continued over into the second generation.

I'm a content creator who has over 50 million views in the past year and I really advertise this controller with no monetized incentive. I don't think azaron's going to like my next few videos I'm about to be posting regarding their product. I have communicated with the company regarding other issues but they seem to ignore me. I may be too small for them to realize the impact that I may have on their corporation. Maybe they'll reach out to me and then hopefully I can correct a lot of their design flaws because I'm too small and insignificant to even be heard. Until it's too late 😂
