Controller was whack for weeks and I just tolerated it. Watched this, got to step three which cured the sticky x button. Cheers!

[@patrickheis1990]

same... step 3 cured my depression

[@bigdubzzzz6377]

Same step 3 is goated

[@TheSQZY]

Same lol

[@ThickBabyChicken]

Exact same thing for me but I read you’re comment and just did step 3 and it instantly worked 😂

[@michalesferra7826]

The cardboard trick worked on my xbox controller - saved me money from having to buy a new controller! Thank you

[@ps3power13]

Cant believe my nes controller still working to this day and those next gen controller have issues in just a few months

[@Adii135]

My controller isn’t sticky but the A button is like pushed and sometimes presses itself, its almost like soft does anyone have a fix?

[@MrNiceguy910]

Try the cleaning part

[@cubensischronicles]

Blowing with a straw worked for me. Got this controller 3 days ago for free with a bundle, it's brand new and its already having problems

[@lr3m743]

I have a question so I have a elite controller series 1 but the d-pad doesn't work sometimes and the left Anolog stick is broken doesn't click down and a button is broken How easy is it to Fix

[@emmanuel-wz4oq]

1st solution worked well!

[@Spizgusek8533]

OMG!U HELPED ME ALOT THANKS YOU BRO!!!!

[@Ken-uy7yw]

Bit of cardboard vs. Koolaid....... cardboard for the win! Thanks!

[@Thuxan6lack]

I was so sad ,my favorite controller wasn't working ,it needed an update 😅

[@tonytattletaleliano956]

Insane all this to clean the b button😔

[@wollahdrerrie6971]

lol tried everything and didnt work then decided to blow with my mouth straight on it and work instantly

[@reefa7002]

Bruh fixed my controller i now dont have to spend money what a hero 👏

[@satanderteufel6563]

Xbox One and Series Controllers suck. I had three of them an all of them did at some point have problems with the A-button input. My 360-Controller worked for 10 years without issues.

[@SOCULTGraphicHouse]

yes.

[@favioortelli8039]

The issue with my controller was with the "X" button, which was not responding unless really pressing down on it. Unfortunately I had to resort to Solution 6 as nothing before that really worked. It was somewhat a nerve-racking experience given the fragileness of some of the inner components, but your video made it really easy to navigate through each of the steps. Ultimately, this fixed my issue and the controller is as good as new. Thank you!

[@HowToX]

Thanks

[@Hpro1i]

Was there dirt between the X button and the PCB? Or did just a basic cleanup make the X work for you? I have the same issue but with Y button.

[@youtubecopyrights]

Good job fixing this yourself!

[@InitialANSR]

@@Hpro1i for me its basic clean up, my problem theres dust above and under the silicon pad, because I wear glove when Im playing. The dust is so thick. I follow this tutorial 100% and after that it works like new. Not just that, all button feels responsive .

[@portaliscool]

with that 100 pound you donated you could have gotten a xbox elite controller

[@bennyboy2478]

With solution 1 a tooth pick will get the job done 😊

[@boi4324]

Updating my controller ended up working somehow

[@Jeffrey-kq2wr]

lol how

[@pascalvautour2774]

Step one worked. Not shure if there was actualy dust in there, but it seems the button was a bit crooked. prying a bit with the piece of cardboard to get it to fit all the way around seems to have allowed the button to pop back into place. happy to see my control alive and well again :)

[@rcemedits]

or you could put 70% isopropyl alcohol-

[@bigdubzzzz6377]

Solution 3 is meta 🔥 didn’t try any of the others and all I did was blow with my mouth major W

[@Skipdagod]

Oh my god I swear that thin piece of cardboard part just worked for me thanks so much

[@tryingtofix]

Thank you for such a detailed explanation. We had to replace the rubber padding. All seemed to go fine but now it won't turn on. No response with a known working battery and only a vibration when plugged in by usb. Any suggestions?

[@OopsieDoopsie29]

Thank you!!! I unfortunately had to take apart the controller and do a deep clean because three of my buttons were sticking. But following this guide was so easy and now everything works. Also for anyone else that has to take it apart, the motherboard screws were t5 on mine

[@stetsonscott8209]

@9:00 the cables on mine did not come right off. Used my fingernail and the solder broke after some careful picking. Now the controller is broken. I cant solder that small. Consider including some tips on removing those cables properly.

[@emiza151]

Me to bro, me to...

[@wesqul8434]

I took it apart and there was some kind of red liquid everywhere so i cleaned it and it works great now. Only thing is the dpad has a slight metallic clinky noise, but works fine. I tried another controller and i got the clinky noise again but works great. Compared it to a new controller and I dont see any difference... I wonder what i did? Glad it works though thank you.

spilled teryaki on the xyab buttons and it got sticky in the barrel of the buttons. Your video got me in, got them cleaned, and got me gaming again. Many Thanks!

[@PlayerAlex08]

Thank you this helped a lot I was trying to play on the Xbox but there was a part in story mode where I needed to click x and x was stuck thank you

[@InitialANSR]

Solution 6 solved my problem! Im the type who doesn't fix thing by my self, I always pays people to do it. I dont know how, but I did it by my self and it works! Theres so many dust under the silicon pad. This thing happen because I always wear glove when I playing games and not to. mention I want to avoid yellowish from my controller because its white controller. Thanks for the tutorial!

[@xRezuks]

My x button is stuck but not like sticky it just doesn’t comeback up after hitting it I clicked it and it didn’t come back up idk what to do

[@idosellsorry725]

Can’t believe the straw thing actually worked thank u so much

[@dejviii7986]

omg i love you, i spilled coke all over my controller, and the blow in the XABY buttons helped me thanks you

[@diamondshadow]

Thanks man you saved me 60 or 30 £ 🎉😅

[@spotlightlll5045]

Can do a video on how to fix the L2 button on the ps4 controller that’s always on. Cause even when i let go of the L2 button its still on

Really good video, b and a buttons were stuck and this video saved me £50 for a new controller!!

[@JacobCalvinWolter]

Had some sticky stuff get into the buttons, this made it very easy to fix! :)

[@anthonywilhite2725]

So idk what’s going on but I have a Xbox one controller and it’s stuck when it’s titled upward but when I tilt it upside down it’s loose what do I do, what’s wrong with it?

[@LuDray_5]

I fixed it ,, only thing I did was spit in my controller and ,, boom ,, my controller buttons working 😂❤

[@mvrck012]

My son spilled soda in his controller. Your video saved my a good bit of money. Thank you

[@fafa_dragons2]

Idk nothing worked my controller is like making less noise on the X button and it responds way less I have blown into it and removed some dust and for someone like me it's too risky to get in the controller itself

[@Shiraz543]

This video helped me soo much! I had a few sticky buttons on the controller and was about to throw them out until i saw this video! It took me upto solution 3 and they click like brand new. Thanks alot

[@XYZB0RG]

does this work at all for xbox 360 controllers? I'm guessing not. any videos that ARE for fixing 360 controllers? the only results I find for them are about cleaning the buttons. I'm 90% sure my 360s A button membrane is damaged because it gets stuck down (flat stuck in place, and I have to wiggle it around for it to dislodge, it's not sticky like there's dirt in there it gets stuck in place like there's a mechanical error. it doesn't have sticky resistance like it's filthy when I try to press it down)

[@Legendary069]

hey lately my xbox controller has the Y button that sometimes doesn't click but its not sticky what could i do? thanks

[@sxkkii706]

idk

[@eugene3883]

Blow into or try to remove dust

[@jorgecarrasco29]

Hell yeaa thank u man the first solution worked

[@arassurvila2530]

Thanks man tou are a savior thanks you so much

[@luizfernandodonascimento3413]

Blowing the dust worked. Thanks!

[@youtubecopyrights]

Instead of ripping your controller apart with brute force get some cheap plastic spludgers as they are also used in phone repairs, etc. With that you can pry it open step by step along the seams. Also not super easy but not as high a risk to break the plastic.

[@ackwell11]

Cheers. Steps 1-5 didn't work to me and didn't want to risk it with step 6. For me the A button sometimes doublepress. If I hold it down and rotate my finger while still keeping it held down it also inputs presses when it shouldn't. And sometimes when I let go off the A button press it presses again during the "lift up". Really annoying, making me not want to buy another one of these controllers.

[@simonfalcon3344]

Thanks for the thorough tear down - really helped take the guess work out of pulling my controller apart to clean the contacts.

[@WackyPlayzRb]

If u gotta do step 6 just give up the controller fr😤

[@InitialANSR]

Im gonna still fix it. I did it under 30 minutes and solved my problem. Learn how to repair it by yourself, saved money, and feel satisfying when you can fix thing by your self.

[@nordicerik5120]

So I made a wedge out of a thin piece of cardboard and just like you said something came out of it.Looked like a little piece of fingernail x button works again

[@eugenelim9815]

I wanted to fix a faulty A button, did the removal and fixed back to the best of my ability (I really hate the Torx screws because sometimes they just refuse to move). While it could still power up, the A button improved a little, I ended up discovering stick drift on my left analog, not sure why.

[@batbrains187]

🔥❤️‍🔥 I love these videos, Man. Very informative. Thanks again brother.❤️‍🔥🔥

[@hectorflores3718]

I just bought one frome the store that had a 35 dollar discount its brand new but the x button was sticking, solution 1 worked. Got a brand new controller for 20 bucks

[@Kuki_Graph]

You can use Xbox One Controller ABXY buttons on Series Controller?

[@HowToX]

This is a very good question; one that I have never thought about before. I am honestly not sure.

[@Able251]

I got through part 6 and my controller won’t turn on anymore and I did the procedure 3 times over which took around 3 and a half hours and the same result of it not turning on. I checked the batteries and still nothing.. idk what to do and I’m seriously considering to just switch to pc at this point with how many controllers I’ve wasted money on.

[@RedAnimatez]

I’m your thousanth like

[@markanglin1528]

I feel like an idiot right now I literally just blew into the buttons and whatever was in there is out and all the buttons are working thank you so much for the video it was so irritating trying to get it to work properly

[@HiepNguyen-gn3rx]

I think the ABXY is too low. in xbox 360 controller, those buttons is higher, also more responsive. I have used a tape into buttons to fix the responsive issues, I think after using buttons for a long time, the buttons will be more responsive

[@Fang23387]

Some times my A button on my Xbox controller just works by itself. So the method 1 worked but the issue just comes back idk what to do 😢

[@kshimonebardey7954]

You sir are a hero thank you so much for this was super stressed about having to buy a new controller all together, but solution 6 worked me, thank you so much for this in depth tutorial

[@blakemeteer7039]

Don't use force, there's 3 closest to the stick and 4 sets of clips in two's that are towards the bottom if you look you can see them.

[@abhinavmallik6273]

Hi Sir please help me xbox s series controller connected analog LT RT guide button working others are not responding please help me

[@AustinGMRS]

Funny for me it wasn’t something got inside instead I replace it due to one of my buttons didn’t work properly and not even a minute it already has sticking A button

[@TheGuyThatIsBored.]

Let us say I used ethryl alcohol 70% and now the when I put it up the controller the button comes up when it goes down the button works if that explains. It is a ps4 nacon controller.

[@dakotah3875]

You’re telling me for two months all I had to do was blow into the damn button n it work amazingly wtf 😂😂 I’m not saying it’s crazy I’m saying I did that n it worked thanks 🙏

[@khaledmoslehi1314]

So your telling me I just needed to blow into it😅 I can't believe it worked, thanks ❤️

[@SammyLin-rs2jz]

solution 6 fixed my x button! I opened my controller and there was a lot of dirt underneath my x button and cleaning it resolved the issue

[@Nanobytesucks]

every button is working apart from a and when i press Y to search for games it just spams the number 2 and i have no control over it

[@Devastor22]

hi again, i did the other day what u suggested and for a few mins it worked, but then again to the problem, and the problem is that my a button get stuck when i press it, not every time but usually when i push with a little strengh , not intentionally of course it get stuck, and its the only button that happens, the controller i have been using it like 6 month it was new,

[@aswinraj_ar]

Bro my y button is stuck what to do? I tried cleaning it with isopropyl alcohol with cloth but its still stuck please help me 😭 this fucking thing costs a fortune.

[@zm4g4z29]

saved me from buying a new controller, goated!!!!

[@calimac7077]

I just dropped some rubbing alcohol on the button and no more stickiness

[@hank01000]

I just sprayed some WD40 a lil bit mind you onto the button and pressed it when it was sticking

[@Itsthefnafsquad]

Bro thank you so much. I'm playing fortnite and my B button got stuck.

Remove metal piece first before the D Pad that way you don’t bend the D Pad ring

bro thank you dude i wiped down my controller before my session cuz it had taki resido build up on it and I got on fortnite and When I tried to build I couldnt cuz the B button didnt work. Spent 30 mins freaking out and getting pissed trying to fix it. Your suggestion of the Canned air worked. Sprayed it all over the controller and fixed it. Thanks

Love the crystalis music in the background

[@Frbxndit]

I spilled orange juice on my controller every button works but just doesn’t feel clicky anymore do you think step 1 or 2 would help that

[@HowToX]

The later steps will likely work better. Sticky residue needs to be cleaned at the spot.

[@YourstrulyMr_derff]

first i had to fix a squeaky trigger then a sticky trigger now a sticky button

[@personman1148]

I have an old aftermarket ps3 remote similar to an Xbox controller. The X button is flat or limp if that makes sense and I have to rotate it while pushed down to get it to respond now.

[@HowToX]

Do some of the things in the video if you haven't already.

[@JAX_BS3Torres]

Dude your video is so good my would not like budge and then I did the first 3 steps and it fixed so much thank you

[@HowToX]

Good to hear my friend.

Thanks. Used your affiliate link to buy the tools.

[@MaGiCMushroomClouds]

I tried everything in the video but A and B just kept sticking. Finally I tried the suggestion between solution # 3 and solution #4. It worked! The buttons are now unstuck! IDK how liking a KZbin video can stop console controller buttons from sticking but here I am. Maybe cause I hit the like button WITH the controller while it was still in a state of partial disassembly it randomly worked. Our dog ran off and buried the D-pad and L-trigger again but once I dig them up there's an 80's Soap Opera themed turn based strategy pinball game I can't wait to binge for a good 72 hours.
