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!
@@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 .
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
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 :)
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!
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!
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
Thank you for this! I'm always overly protective of my stuff so I was devastated and disappointed in myself when I spilled a soda on my brand new Forza Horizon 5 controller. Ever since I've been using the method of blowing on the buttons to make them not stick for an hour or so. After following your video and cleaning it out it finally feels like new again.
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 RUclips 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.
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
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.
Thank you so much. Ive spilt so many liquids on mine. And now 1 down 4 to go. The controller rubber pad was DISGUSTING ! But now its back together and works perfectly!
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
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
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?
@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.
i got a used xbox series s for christmas, the console couldn't be better but the controllers B button was sticky, so i did your blowing with your mouth trick and now the button is good as new! Thanks you just earned a sub and a like
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.
Bless. It was nerve wracking and it took me forever but my A button registers without having to mash the fuck out of it and I appreciate you making this video.
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.
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
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 🙏

Controller was whack for weeks and I just tolerated it. Watched this, got to step three which cured the sticky x button. Cheers!
same... step 3 cured my depression
Same step 3 is goated
Same lol
Exact same thing for me but I read you’re comment and just did step 3 and it instantly worked 😂

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.
Good job fixing this yourself!

I love it when you search on RUclips and you find solutions like this and it works. Thanks my guy
Oh my god I swear that thin piece of cardboard part just worked for me thanks so much
Thanks for the thorough tear down - really helped take the guess work out of pulling my controller apart to clean the contacts.
Had a stick button and you saved me from opening my controller. Thank you
Can’t believe the straw thing actually worked thank u so much

The cardboard trick worked on my xbox controller - saved me money from having to buy a new controller! Thank you
Cant believe my nes controller still working to this day and those next gen controller have issues in just a few months
My son spilled soda in his controller. Your video saved my a good bit of money. Thank you
You're a genius, normally things that people on RUclips only works for themselves but the piece of cardboard unstuck my A button thanks
Had some sticky stuff get into the buttons, this made it very easy to fix! :)

Blowing into the gap of my B button surprisingly worked. Thanks a lot! Deserves a like 👍🏻
Mine just fell and my button became hard 🤦
I literally do that every day
@@quintonscroggins5629 yeah ngl I had to do that too, I just bought myself an elite series controller. But the guy still helped me out 😂
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
Your advice helped, my B button kept getting stuck as if I pressed it but you helped me out 🙏
omg i love you, i spilled coke all over my controller, and the blow in the XABY buttons helped me thanks you
Surprisingly 1 method worked for me. Thanks mate!
Love the crystalis music in the background
Worked! The notorious button B had been caked with goo.
Just blowing into it and the cardboard trick , boom, it didn't stick , thanks mate !
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.
yes.
Really good video, b and a buttons were stuck and this video saved me £50 for a new controller!!
Thank you so much. Ive spilt so many liquids on mine. And now 1 down 4 to go. The controller rubber pad was DISGUSTING ! But now its back together and works perfectly!
the cardboard method worked like a charm, thanks a lot!
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?
Try the cleaning part
The first solution worked like a charm mate thank you!!
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
Thank you for the guide my controller was fixed after the first idea👍
Thank you, this is extremely helpful for an electronics newbie like me
Updating my controller ended up working somehow

So your telling me I just needed to blow into it😅 I can't believe it worked, thanks ❤️
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
Great Tutorial - helped me repair a stuck A button!
You are the best RUclipsr ever I fixed my controller on the second thing because of your video thank you
The first few methods worked for me. Thanks! You earned a sub.
Solution 1 actually did the trick... pleasantly surprised :)
same for me
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
Are you Kidding me. I blew in the buttons and boom FIXED.
Thanks to you I have been able to fix my controller, I can only say Thank you!!!
Thanks bro. I used a dental pick to get my Y button unstuck. Literally took one minute.
🔥❤️🔥 I love these videos, Man. Very informative. Thanks again brother.❤️🔥🔥
Thank you. That first solution helped perfectly
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.
saved me from buying a new controller, goated!!!!
OMG dude the cardboard one worked for me I couldnt thank you enough
Cheers bro using the card board piece worked only when I took off the face of the controller but yh it clicks like the other buttons now 👍🏾
You’re the man dude! Fixed my issue by step 3
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?
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
Good to hear my friend.
When I heard him say to blow into the controller with your mouth I didn’t think it would actually work but now my B button is fixed
Solution 3 FTW!! Thank you!
It’s been solution one the whole damn time thanks man 😂😂
Thank you, button is functioning properly again!
@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.
Me to bro, me to...
1 worked perfectly for me I just used a piece of paper and fixed my rolling on elden ring. Thanks
i got a used xbox series s for christmas, the console couldn't be better but the controllers B button was sticky, so i did your blowing with your mouth trick and now the button is good as new! Thanks you just earned a sub and a like
Step 1 worked on my B button, thank you
hey lately my xbox controller has the Y button that sometimes doesn't click but its not sticky what could i do? thanks

Blow into or try to remove dust
Hell yeaa thank u man the first solution worked

Blowing the dust worked. Thanks!
Bro just saved my life as my dad said if i didn't fix my $500 controller he would take my games away
Thanks for option number 3. It was my salution
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
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.
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
or you could put 70% isopropyl alcohol-
🔥❤️🔥 I only play on Xbox seriesX, but if you ever play Remnant 2, I would love to Co-op with you. ❤️🔥🔥
I'm sorry, that's not a game I play.
@@HowToX 🔥❤️🔥 do you play warzone ❤️🔥🔥
Oh wow. The first method with the cardboard worked
Thx the vaccum blow with air worked for me
Bless. It was nerve wracking and it took me forever but my A button registers without having to mash the fuck out of it and I appreciate you making this video.
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.
Ayy first one worked thanks, idk what was in it but doesn’t matter now
