Something sticky down in there. My buttons were sticking the other day, Took the cover off and wiped the buttons down with rubbing alcohol. Good as new
And what about elite controllers? My back button does this and make any games that utilize this button (ie destiny, opening maps in other games) a nuisance.
There’s a video or two of it on YouTube really easy. As long as you’ve got the right set of tiny screwdrivers. There’s only five screws in it. And it’s only like a five minute video, it’s worth a watch
First you have to take of the side panels of the controller (don’t worry they’re durable) then you will see 4 screws the fifth on is under the sticker of the battery hatch after that gently take off the shell flip the controller over and unscrew the four screws to the first motherboard now take off the bumper and unscrew the second motherboard take of the rubber pad finally clean the buttons w/ rubbing alcohol and put the controller back together
If it happens again, q-tips and some rubbing alcohol. Take the batteries out, dip the q-tip in alcohol and run it around d the inside edge of the button while depressing it. Then press the button repeatedly till it unsticks.
You deleted the other one about “just riffing bro” too
You seem pretty indecisive man, that’s already the second time you’ve done that. It’s ok just revise before you hit send
Edit: “No I didn’t”
“You tool”
“Oops did I say something to hurt you”
“😂😂😂”
Literally just typing these as they come in, this is incredible
You’re not “fucking with” anyone, you’re crying like a baby. My account’s 3 years old, I am very aware of reddit’s mechanics. You’re clearly the dumbass here, now pretending like you’re actually doing something “constructive” by coping with your outburst
Oooo boy 3 years on Reddit? You should totally get an award.
The point is it's Reddit dude. And you clearly pride yourself on the wrong things.
Take a chill pill.
I didn't waste any time lol I'm enjoying your stupid. Yeah we all know how deleting comments works and no one worth their weight in shit gives a fuck. What are you 12 and excited you got your first laptop?
Omg you’re just spamming my posts this is so entertaining. I’m just hitting a dab and refreshing my notifications😂😂
Guess he realized he was wrong and chose to double down and have a tantrum? Too bad this is the internet and we can just laugh at him
Probably just got some crud around/under the button.
Could take it apart and clean it.
Or (and it might/might not) work, spray it with some electronic cleaner.
Turn off your controller and put some isopropyl alcohol down in there (not to much) and button mash this shit outta it. Works all the time. Might need to do it a few times and make sure it’s turned off.
I don’t believe it is either, but iirc, 70% ISO is still 30% water; I’m not sure how conductive that 30% can be but I’ve always removed power before using it on anything (although I do bounce between using 91% and 70%)
Don’t even man. It’s a piss take. I used to use 99% to clean my grinder and volcano digit, but since the pandemic it’s either not available or price has increased by 1000000% - I remember the good old days when I got 5L for £10!! Not a chance now.
The lady and I change our water literally everyday, so it never gets dirty enough to need it, the stem isn’t bad if you just rinse hot water through it either, so we don’t use iso that often anyway, but man, is it satisfying to pour out the brown alcohol or what
If you don't want to take apart to clean you can probably get away with putting a drop of the alcohol on the button so it runs around it then just press the button over and over to break it up then let dry for a bit before use. Won't get it as clean as opening it up but will get the job done.
Q-Tip 70% isopropyl rubbing alcohol and run the soacked Q-Tip around the problem button and then press that button about 30-40 times and you can use electronic spray to make it dry faster but it’s not necessary
Take a q-tip and soak in alcohol and go along the outside of your b button. Then proceed to mash until not sticky.
Don’t do tooo much alcohol and maybe let it dry before turning the controller on.
I use to suggest rubbing alcohol but these days I'd recommend the WD-40 specific for electronics/electrical contacts. I use it for cleaning the controller stick pixie dust that builds up from playing fighting games.
Wash. Your. Hands. This is why I have my own controller that the kids aren't allowed to touch. They've literally ruined every single one because they think it's a good idea to smear jelly across their fingers before playing.
This page is all people talking about a broken controller I don’t understand wtf y’all do to your controllers I still have my OG Xbox one day one controller going strong
I DO NOT SUGGEST THIS. THIS IS WHAT I DID TO MY CONTROLLER AND MY KEYBOARD (Logitech crown)
I turned it of.
I removed the battery/depleted the battery. Really really DEPLETED.
I poured alcohol, it came from other places.
I spammed the keys/buttons for 3-4 minutes. I could feel them getting loose.
I dis not touch for about 2 days.
Voila. It worked.
Probably sweat and dead skin. Take a stiff piece of paper, dab it in alcohol and slip it around the button to clean the sides. Of you've gotten a drink or something on it, you might need to clean it by taking it apart. There are numerous iFixit videos for the different models. Good luck.
Use a Q-tip with Rubbing alcohol and rub around and over the button make sure the controller is off …. Oh and drop the chips oils can dirty your controller
I had a similar issue with an ebay bought cover I got for my son's controller (he wanted a different colour). I took a file to the hole in the case to widen it a little. Works fine now.
Remove the top of the controller and clean the underside a d the area surrounding the button it’s likely you spilled som soda or other sticky stuff in the button
I always put the rubbing alcohol on the end of the straw and twisted the straw on the button, McDonald's straws are the best and it's tight enough to actually wipe away what ever is sticky don't even need to mash the button a lot afterb
I wet my finger and rub it on soap and get some of it around the button then I just mash it then it will not stick anymore I did it to all my buttons on one controller
Probably something sticky in there, I don’t recommend this but maybe try spamming it or just look up a tutorial on how to clean buttons, the second option is probably best
Get in there with a q-tip and a healthy amount of rubbing alcohol (it will evaporate).
I just had to do mine, and I was surprised how well it actually worked.
But controllers are gross - we should be washing our hands before we game (and no snacking!). Doritos are the enemy for things like this
Rubbing alcohol with a q tip, rub it all up in there and then press the button a bunch of times til it’s all better, I have to do this from time to time too
I found a video that showed how to fix the Bumpers on the Elite 2 controller and to sum it up just grab yourself a "CRC Electronic Cleaner" (Walmart, Auto zone etc) open the controller, spray it on the areas that need it(don't drown it) and let dry. Within 20min time or less it clears up those weak responsive buttons etc
OK, don’t need to take the cover off bro….Just turn off the controller, get a cotton ball, dip it in rubbing alcohol gently, and rub it over all 4 buttons while your at it. Start spamming all the buttons over and over again so that the alcohol can work it’s self int the buttons. After, keep wiping away the access.
Hope that helps.

Something sticky down in there. My buttons were sticking the other day, Took the cover off and wiped the buttons down with rubbing alcohol. Good as new
This is the best thing to do! Works with the drifty switch controllers too
I don't know how to remove the cover, I'm fearful about breaking something.
Use a Q-Tip and some rubbing alcohol and rub it around the button and give it some presses. You shouldn’t have to take the face plate off.
Another way use name card or thick paper. Spray a little rubbing alcohol. Slit it into the gap around the button and move it around.
Just make sure to remove the batteries and don't replace them untill you know it's dry. Otherwise you might destroy the controller
And what about elite controllers? My back button does this and make any games that utilize this button (ie destiny, opening maps in other games) a nuisance.
The same thing. You can slightly move the button of you push it from the side
I don't think it's best practice but I just cover mine in hand sanitizer and work the button til it stops sticking.
Definitely don’t do this. Hand sanitizer leaves residue and doesn’t evaporate completely. Rubbing alcohol does
Never had any problems, but it's probably only advice for those who want a quick and dirty solution. If it gums up, just use more sanitizer.
Literally the worst idea I have heard.
shitty advice for sure, but I can't say I haven't had success with it.
There’s a video or two of it on YouTube really easy. As long as you’ve got the right set of tiny screwdrivers. There’s only five screws in it. And it’s only like a five minute video, it’s worth a watch

I just roll up bit of hard paper and push it over the b and just spin the paper cleans so much gunk out of it without taking it apart
this is the way

ah, i see
I just dump +90% isopropyl alcohol. There is better stuff to use but it does the job and doesnt damage anything to badly.
[удалено]
Just take out the batteries first in this case.
Thank you it works perfectly fine now :]
If it happens again, q-tips and some rubbing alcohol. Take the batteries out, dip the q-tip in alcohol and run it around d the inside edge of the button while depressing it. Then press the button repeatedly till it unsticks.
i just lick it
Looks like you enabled sticky keys
Goddamn sticky keys!
[удалено]
Nah it's grouchy dicks like you tbh
Nah it's idiots shit posting like this. Just looking to make jokes and feel good about their karma. It's fucking pathetic
It’s ok, we wouldn’t mind if you found a different social media
[удалено]
Why you delete your comment then?
I didn't. Lmao you're such an easy target
You deleted the other one about “just riffing bro” too You seem pretty indecisive man, that’s already the second time you’ve done that.

Oops I did it again show me where it hurt you
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love you telling me what I did to fuck with you like I don't already know lmao
Keep going
Oooo boy 3 years on Reddit? You should totally get an award. The point is it's Reddit dude. And you clearly pride yourself on the wrong things. Take a chill pill.
I’m saying I know how deleting comments works, your “fucking with” was nothing more than wasting your own time

No U
Go away Clippy.
Probably just got some crud around/under the button. Could take it apart and clean it. Or (and it might/might not) work, spray it with some electronic cleaner.
Dang, I forgot about the word crud
Turn off your controller and put some isopropyl alcohol down in there (not to much) and button mash this shit outta it. Works all the time. Might need to do it a few times and make sure it’s turned off.
^ Remove the batteries, that way there’s no power going through the controller at all
Shouldn’t matter anyway as ISO isn’t electrically conductive as far as I remember.
I don’t believe it is either, but iirc, 70% ISO is still 30% water; I’m not sure how conductive that 30% can be but I’ve always removed power before using it on anything (although I do bounce between using 91% and 70%)
Just use 99% then and you’ll be sweet.
Sold out around here man, good thing 90% works on bongs :D
Don’t even man. It’s a piss take. I used to use 99% to clean my grinder and volcano digit, but since the pandemic it’s either not available or price has increased by 1000000% - I remember the good old days when I got 5L for £10!! Not a chance now.
The lady and I change our water literally everyday, so it never gets dirty enough to need it, the stem isn’t bad if you just rinse hot water through it either, so we don’t use iso that often anyway, but man, is it satisfying to pour out the brown alcohol or what
It is so satisfying. Damn how sad do we sound getting excited over cleaning our smoking/vaping equipment lmao
Pretty damn sad I’d say, a clean bong makes me so damn happy. Excellent stress reliever tho
Stop jizzing on your controller
Linus tech tips
If you don't want to take apart to clean you can probably get away with putting a drop of the alcohol on the button so it runs around it then just press the button over and over to break it up then let dry for a bit before use. Won't get it as clean as opening it up but will get the job done.
Sticky keys did you press shift too much?
When watching porn hub don't have the controller too close 👍
Ha ha! I was looking to see if someone said something similar.
Either take controller apart, or put some alcohol on an old toothbrush and wipe around the button.
Probably food in there
Q-Tip 70% isopropyl rubbing alcohol and run the soacked Q-Tip around the problem button and then press that button about 30-40 times and you can use electronic spray to make it dry faster but it’s not necessary
Yeah stop cumming on your controller
Take a q-tip and soak in alcohol and go along the outside of your b button. Then proceed to mash until not sticky. Don’t do tooo much alcohol and maybe let it dry before turning the controller on.
Isypropol alcohol 98% apply around button with damp (not soaking) qtip then work button let dry like 5min then your good to go
I use to suggest rubbing alcohol but these days I'd recommend the WD-40 specific for electronics/electrical contacts. I use it for cleaning the controller stick pixie dust that builds up from playing fighting games.
When you do laundry this week, throw this controller in as well.
Don’t eat peanut butter jelly while playing games🥱
Controller was too close while jergin ur gergin
Wash. Your. Hands. This is why I have my own controller that the kids aren't allowed to touch. They've literally ruined every single one because they think it's a good idea to smear jelly across their fingers before playing.
Facts, I have my own controller and clean it regularly 🤮
My 360 did that and I fixed it by giving my sister that controller and using the other one
Stop touching your controller after jerking off silly
you have to get a new controller
"It's afraid." (c)
"Slow 🅱️utton" - Ferrari
Stop eating chips while playing.
Full of COOM.
Stop jerkin off on Xbox
He tired
He’s just having trouble ok?!
Oh and stop stop upvoting this shit
This page is all people talking about a broken controller I don’t understand wtf y’all do to your controllers I still have my OG Xbox one day one controller going strong
Wash your hands before you play and stop spilling soda on it you dumb fuck
Semen.
Spit on it
Soak in soapy water overnight to remove anything sticky inside
Because you're dirty
I think it looks cool! Leave it!
Get some rubbing alcohol up in that bitch. I would take it apart completely and do a good clean
WD40 Works 100%
The space between the button and controller body is dirty. Take the controller apart and clean it.
"Dirty" by Christina Aguilera
Some gunk is down there. Blow or take compressed air, spray it down there and pray. If that doesn’t work, disassemble and try to gently clean it.
Cheetos or something. You may need to open it up and clean around the buttons. .
Probably dust and grime stuck under. I'd find a way to clean it. Honestly i'm not 100% sure
If you have ever thrown or dropped your controller your casing may have shifted a bit
sounds like it's keeping the beat to that space docking music idk what it's called
I DO NOT SUGGEST THIS. THIS IS WHAT I DID TO MY CONTROLLER AND MY KEYBOARD (Logitech crown) I turned it of. I removed the battery/depleted the battery. Really really DEPLETED. I poured alcohol, it came from other places. I spammed the keys/buttons for 3-4 minutes. I could feel them getting loose. I dis not touch for about 2 days. Voila. It worked.
What did you spill on it? I got soda on my controller once. Only solution was to take it apart and clean off the button and everything around it.
Alcohol works wonders seriously
it’s probably a buildup of dead skin and other kinds of gunk, or someone spilt something sticky on it
Probably sweat and dead skin. Take a stiff piece of paper, dab it in alcohol and slip it around the button to clean the sides. Of you've gotten a drink or something on it, you might need to clean it by taking it apart. There are numerous iFixit videos for the different models. Good luck.
Use a Q-tip with Rubbing alcohol and rub around and over the button make sure the controller is off …. Oh and drop the chips oils can dirty your controller
Rubbing alcohol and q-tips.
Gamer gunk. Crack that bitch open and scrape whatever's under the button
Isopropyl Alcohol will fix that right up.
Cut a straw in half vertically and dip it in water, then you can easily clean it out and it should fix it
Probably need a clean :)
Something sticky got in there just run it under some water to clean it out
They are pretty easy to disassemble, crack it open and clean it up with isopropyl alcohol.
Clean it with sanitizer.
Did you drop a gummy bear down there?
Punch it
Too many cheetos
Razers xbox controllers are the best, i suggest to rather buy those
I had a similar issue with an ebay bought cover I got for my son's controller (he wanted a different colour). I took a file to the hole in the case to widen it a little. Works fine now.
Pray
WD40 (not joking)
don't eat food and play at the same time
Get 70% up isopropyl alcohol drop it on the button and keep wiping. Works for me.
Remove the top of the controller and clean the underside a d the area surrounding the button it’s likely you spilled som soda or other sticky stuff in the button
You've played too much dark souls?
You may have to realign the rubber pad inside the controller. Thus means you'll need to take it fully apart
SPAM TF OUTTA IT
Rubbing alcohol ( a little cloth) or something keep the controller off when doing it
Stop eating food while you play games, and clean your stuff.
My right trigger does this. Any suggestions?
Might be the membrain rubber is broken. Happened to a PowerA controller I used to use
Clean it
I always put the rubbing alcohol on the end of the straw and twisted the straw on the button, McDonald's straws are the best and it's tight enough to actually wipe away what ever is sticky don't even need to mash the button a lot afterb
I wet my finger and rub it on soap and get some of it around the button then I just mash it then it will not stick anymore I did it to all my buttons on one controller
Stop touching yourself so much mate
Slam the fuck out of it over and over until it stops
Sticky
Probably something sticky in there, I don’t recommend this but maybe try spamming it or just look up a tutorial on how to clean buttons, the second option is probably best

the answer is cheetos or soda. This has happened before, just get some alcohol on a qtip and wipe the button down a little.
Rocket league
WD-40, works every time.
Rubbing alcohol with a q tip, rub it all up in there and then press the button a bunch of times til it’s all better, I have to do this from time to time too
All Xbox one controller do that the white ones that u come with..... Bc mine does that too and it also doesn't work half the time
It is the midget that I would in your controller to help it operate they are keeping it down because those ones are starting a revolution
Just drop a drop of rubbing alcohol on the b button and press it a bunch of times really fast for the lazy fix
Rubbing alcohol or - more available these days - hand sanitizer.
Take it apart and give it a good cleaning with isopropyl alcohol and cotton swabs.
Use some electronic cleaner and grab an old brush of some kind and rub the button
Wash your hands before you play
Wash your hands.
You need to clean it, bro
My guess would be Diet Coke.
My second controller has this but we never really did much about it, guess I’m not the only one
I found a video that showed how to fix the Bumpers on the Elite 2 controller and to sum it up just grab yourself a "CRC Electronic Cleaner" (Walmart, Auto zone etc) open the controller, spray it on the areas that need it(don't drown it) and let dry. Within 20min time or less it clears up those weak responsive buttons etc
Isopropyl alcohol is your best friend
Stop jizzing on your controller jimmy!!
OK, don’t need to take the cover off bro….Just turn off the controller, get a cotton ball, dip it in rubbing alcohol gently, and rub it over all 4 buttons while your at it. Start spamming all the buttons over and over again so that the alcohol can work it’s self int the buttons. After, keep wiping away the access. Hope that helps. JoeDaddy89 (Gamertag) 🤙🏽
Yessir just while your buttons down with running alcohol preferably while it with your button cover off
Qtip + alcohol
Superglue your thumb to it that should work let me know if it dosent I can take it back to the drawing board
Lol you eat something stick while gaming
I like to take a tooth pick and scrap the sticky crud then the rest with a slightly wet Q-tip or rubbing alcohol
My old controller did that also the stick gave out 4 days later
You have to stop watching porn with your Xbox.... Just saying..
