    Thank you 🙏 worked like a charm. Buttons are clocks again!
    Side note: accidentally pressed 52 times instead of 50, and was sent to the Dark Dimension. Quickly pressed 48 more times and was teleported back to safety.

    I confess, I didn't think this was going to solve my issue after spilling coffee on my Joy-Con. I even ordered tiny screwdrivers to open it, thinking I'd have to tear it apart and repair it from the inside. But before going that risky route, I tried this method and sure enough, within minutes my buttons were as good as new! Thank you!

    I have this issue on my joycons d-pad, but I also had a mushy/sticky button on my PS Vita. The Vita has a bit of a gap around the buttons, so I stuck a paper and went around the whole button and it was coffee residue that came out. That was really the whole problem with my Vita, and that's why I got it so cheap. The Joycons don't have much space to use that same method, so I'll be trying this. Thanks!

    My Nintendo Switch Lite has that mushy-sticky problem on the R bumper. How do I fix this? Does it work the same way? Also, at the end you said it would not work on the ZR,ZL,L, and R buttons, but did you just mean on the pro controller?

    You can also use disinfectant wipes just don’t get a whole puddle of liquid into but rub it around and in the buttons sides and it works too

    I found this issue happened after the most recent update to the X and A buttons. I have never actually used the A button for anything, but I found the A button had the same issue after I changed the button mapping from X to A.
