I was about to start sanding those plastic tabs, but decided to do a search first and found this video. Thanks for sharing. It removes the tactile feedback but does seem to fix the sticking.
oh yeah. i took my controller apart to fix my trigger. the bracket broke so i used Loctite plastic glue to bond it back together. meanwhile i was checking your vid to fix the annoying button issue. thank you!
Thank you so much mate. I'm able to fix the sticky button by following your instructions. It's shame Gulikit charge us nearly $70 for this problematic controller. I newly bought and just an hour use this controller, the B button start to stick. So i start disassembly by my self by following your video and the sticky button is no more.
This works, but be aware that the buttons will feel pretty mushy after you do this. It feels like they have very little travel and really do not feel great.
Thanks! Perfect solution the 90° turn case of switch. Gulykit should be implementing it in his entire assembly line 😅 otherwise the ing of these controls is impressive.
thanks for the guide even if I can barely understand what you're saying. hated the button sticking and it makes it difficult for fighting games and quick time events.
I guess I got lucky, I heard about the issues of the earlier batches so I was tempted to buy the white version instead, too the plunge for the black instead and all is good cept for the spring of the right sting being a little loose
my buttons were so squeaky and creaky so I tried silicon grease on the edges of the buttons which did nothing since the problem was coming from inside the switch. I rotated the switch like you and it's the perfect controller now. I almost ruined the battery cable tho and had to disassemble and reassemble a few times to get the bumpers working right again cause i'm a noob.
Thank you as far as others say. Mine is new so it feels the same as the other 3 buttons at the moment. It's problynthe spring in others controllers and they might be able to find something with more spring somewhere online. It could be their difference maybe.
thank you!!! :D I was just going to try and grease the switches and maybe stretch the spring out, I didn't know that bit about removing the tactile feedback. The buttons are a bit loud tbh so I think I'll like them better this way. Thanks again!
In case people still encounter this infamous batch of controller, late, and inherently found the same problem, some additional tips: - You can just sand the interior part. Perhaps it's a little bit better than rotate 90 degrees if you are not want to lose the tactile feedback. It's tricky because the tiny points, just gently rub like one or two times with the tip of sandpaper, then adjust it first with other parts. If it's still sticky you might repeat it until you find the correct feel, not need to overdo it. I did test it but just with the housing part, seems to work fine. - It seems the usual suspect is the B button. If that the case you don't need to disassemble all the way like OP did. The same with A button. - You can push back both triggers just by loosening its screws (the ones that facing the middle), so then you can take the first board out without much struggle. Or just disassemble both of them, to your liking.
Hello my friend, thank you for your video. I want to know if you think it's easy to disassemble the controller for a guy not good at all in this? Let me explain to you, my B button and the others next to it make spring noises, the controller is new, I just received it. Do you think I should ignore this? Thank you and also where did you buy the Playstation cover for Joystick? Really cool :D
I would say it’s like putting a complicated lego. To someone who comfortable with dismantling stuff, this is easy. For newbie, you just need to be details. Best practice is to take pictures when removing electronics when you don’t have a detail guide. About the squeaky noise, I think it just a preference, some people don’t care, some care. Unless it’s stuck, i think you can ignore it if you don’t mind the sound. In the video also i mentioned points where you can lube the switch if you want to keep the tactile feeling. If you ever lube a keyboard switch, it will be a similar experience. If not, just turn it to linear. It’s a cheap silicon thumbstick cover. Got it for free when I bought a game.
@@kaiserdostuff ah okay thank you very much to you brother, I like your video and the way you answer and explain things very simple, I will follow what you say. No need to disassemble for the moment so as it function and just has a small noise, not serious as you say.

nice fix, can you please confirm for me how this controller deals with rocket league, is it responsive enough or there is an input delay, as this controller has a bad polling rate record. thanks in advance 🙂
Yes. Bad polling rate. It averages around 10ms but the range is so wide. Casual players are still fine, but i think there are better options in the market.
First thanks for the awesome guide, for the battery what kind of connector should i use? and what is the measurement of the battery, i want to upgrade to 2000mah battery, but still hesitant because of this
Li ion batt comes in many sizes, but this one seems generic thin square size. The connector is also generic jst-ph. I didn't take the measurement but most likely the 1.25mm connector since that is what I usually encountered on peripheral pcb. If it does not fit, buy a new connector and hotwire it.
Do you know if replacement switches would have this issue fixed? as my buttons have started squeaking and gulikit as offered to send me replacement button switches.
My honest opinion is no. The reason is the part is too small and plastic molding limitation. When the plastic cools down, it shrink and create slight difference between each sample. Different from less than half milimeter is obvious when you put the keycap.
I'm so annoyed, i bought the all black one and it was perfect but the bumpers are loud clicky so i got the pro version and its quiet but now the a and b buttons stick, so i got a refund and new one but it has the same issue...can the bumpers be swapped on these controllers?
If you use long enough, the bumper will turn loose and not clicky anymore because they still use the cheap switch from older version. Mine has become a silent switch and i need to replace it soon.
@@Deadlines-X it's the same bumper switch either pro or non-pro. They use same switch from first version controller. I use right bumper more, so i tend to break that part on any kind of controller. Gulikit bumper switch perhaps is the easiest one to break on me.
@@kaiserdostuff can you switch the keycaps without full disassembly ? and from what you say, you can't get the XBOX 360 layout without buying replacement keycaps ?
@@hsavov 1. Yes, you can. It works like the keyboard keycap. One of the keycaps will come out if I drop the controller to floor (by accident). I use screwdriver too b4, but it leaves marks. 2. Yep. Sadly, that's the only way.
Do you know how to fix my button? My b button is normal but then out of no where it gets squeaky and it’s so annoying. I can’t even open the controller to fix it too
@@kaiserdostuff I found out by taking off the buttons and rubbing alcohol (that black thing) and leaving it for a while it acually fixes it a little. The squeak does come back tho but if you don’t play rough on it you should be good
I have to replace A and B buttons that tend to stuck, and I have the two screws at the sides of the motherboard card that I'm not able to turn around. What can I do about it?
For me it just as good as other controller since it is bluetooth. Sometimes i feel it slightly slower when the battery is low, but I'm playing online so, it can be my internet hiccup too.
I fcked up, I weren't aware that you need to flip the switch locking the cable at 0:58 and pulled the cable too hard it broke or something, now my controller doesn't boot T_T. Lucky i found a new cable on alibaba and replaced it. So yeah, don't make the same mistake as me.
PLEEEEEEASE RESPOND MY RT AND RB ARE STUCK i only know how to fix xbox controllers nost kkp21 controllers can you please tell me a simple fix like on a xbox i can just use peroxide or something like that on the rubber part that the RT button hits but this one is different please help
You can't. Or, force pull the keycap, use silicon grease spray on it. And hope that it won't become an oily mess inside. I usually used Toyo silicon spray for this kind of job.
@@LXtreme23 tbh I don't understand your issue. You can try reset all settings by pressing gear + (-) button. Other common misconception is people activate turbo without knowing it's there.

They really have quality issue. Gulikit still use some low quality part from supplier such as the bumper switch.

Silicon based lube. Typically stuff people use to lube keyboard switch. You just need just a small drop for each switch.

have you had any issues with the joysticks yet? My left stick has become really loose, so now it's neutral position is to the top-right.

Yes. Bad polling rate. It averages around 10ms but the range is so wide. Casual players are still fine, but i think there are better options in the market.
Bro, I can't get that white ribbon out, and I'm afraid to break it, what do you recommend?
Don’t do it. It should be easy to come out.
Should I put the trigger first or should I put the joystick board first?
Trigger first. Then, you need to wiggle your joystick to slide it into the hole.
