Did this help solve your sticky buttons? Let us know! If you have any other questions or need help with any other issues be sure to let us know as well.🎮
Thank you so much! Instead of the rag, I used q-tips. I bought a $30 camo dualshock from a pawn shop and it was so bad to the point where the triangle and circle buttons wouldn't go down. But I took it apart and fixed it up really well. The only thing is that the buttons are now super quiet. So I guess that's a plus lol. But I really do appreciate this video
ty, appreciate the help man...☝🏻💜
Mine still hasnt worked i followed all the steps my circle button wont work :(
thank you o much man i can finally click my square and triangle button comfortably
I broke mine and had to throw it away
Yeah super easy you just gotta take the entire thing apart.
Lol
I can't take apart the damn thing! The screws became rusted
lmao...I heard 4 screws n thought "k ..this doesn't so bad"...then he went full autopsy
im like....he'll no...surely the more I play the stick will go away
I can do this is 4 minutes easily. All you gotta do it pull it apart and clean it.
Yea how are you supposed to clean it if you are not taking it apart Einstein?
Well, after this, Maybie my sticking button isnt that bad
Did you end up giving it a shot?
@@Gamenetics yea i dont think they did
@@Gamenetics not after they had to suffer through this video
I feel like a surgeon and I’m pretty sure I’m losing my patient
Jajaj yeah me to im a bit scared of taking apart my controller
hahaha this is too funny, hang in there, it's going to make it!🙏
@@Gamenetics It did make it in the end 😂 thank you by the way!
I have the problem but I’m very scared to take apart my controller
Stevenchuclecar 956 just blow on the buttons
Edit: if it becomes sticky again just do it again, also most likes i ever got on a comment.
Ariaan_YT lmaooo it actually works a littlr
Ariaan_YT crazy ! i fixed it how did you know it would work!
@@ariaan_yt27 bro wtf your insane i literally just did this after looking at your comment and its back to new guys seriously try this first
Ariaan_YT ummm THANK YOU 😳😳😳 it worked lmfaooooo
This kid just field-stripped this thing like Forrest Gump with a rifle
😂😂😂
This is genuinely a great tutorial. I think my controller was the first thing that I have ever fixed in my life, thanks to you guys!
Thmbs up!
Good job, we are happy to help!
yea metwo
I kept thinking there was stuff on my screen lol
SAME 😂
Thank you so much man! Concise and easy to follow, never would have done this without your help. :)
Thank you so much. This really helped as my D Pad silicone worn off and I bought the replacement part from Amazon. I can confirm this works on v2 controller. Just the boards inside the controller are slightly different, but pretty much the same overall.
Thanks for saving me £50 of purchasing a new controller.
Thank you sooooo much for providing such an awesome video mann, this helped me a ton 2 years later woww, my controller had this problem for time now and I just kept it in my drawer for ages since I couldn't use it due to literally the most important botton on the ps4 controller stuck lol ("the X button") but today I just decided to give it a try and guess what? I was lucky enough to find this video on the top of my recommendations. Keep helping people out like this man, Much love💚 I really appreciate it.💯
Hey mate, thank you so much for the kind words! This is why we put this video's together! Really happy to hear you got your controller working again! :)
Thanks for the guide, it helped my fix my controller and feel brand new, when I took a look at the buttons the X button was broken but luckily had a spare controller that was broken already so replaced the part instead of having to buy a new controller. Just have to be careful of not loosing the small bolts and not breaking anything inside the controller.
Great tips, thanks for your feedback!
Shoutout this guy for making a actual method. It does take a little bit of time to take it apart and stuff but it does work so trust the process
Thanks a lot! Worked like a charm. My controller is slightly different tho but I’ve been able to fix the issue I had following your method
Yo thanks sooooo much you really helped me I thought I had Broken a controller but when you showed the controller parts it helped me realize that I just put it in the wrong way. And in return I will drop a sub and a like.
Did this today and everything works just like new. Thanks for the vid!
Hey Eric that is great. We are putting out more fix it videos so if anything else happens be on the lookout! Also go check some of our other content! Thanks for the feedback.
No way am I taking my pad apart like this. I'd never get it back together
True
just blow on the buttons lol
it actually is as easy as legos. just make sure you know where to put everything after disassembling
ok honestly if your just gonna buy a new controller then experiment with the old on since it wouldn’t matter
@@oscarz.3264 true i will try that after getting a new controller just incase my new controller has the same problem
1 like 1 respect for the kid who lost his controller doing this because of not having parent support
Now I’m scared too so it
evryone make sure your brother washes his hands
I’m 12 and I just did it it wasn’t that hard the buttons were sticky it’s my first time taking it apart and my parents didn’t help I’m glad I didn’t see this comment before because then I would have been to scared and then not had fixed it
@Mistah Rickitofen mayo claw it is
@Mistah Rickitofen btw I love your cod vids I play warzone
Thank you so much for this tutorial ! You were super helpful and clear in your instructions. I managed to clean it and put it back together and it still works. Thank you very much !
This is extremely helpful. Thank you. Controller looks dope btw.
Thank you so much for this video. Very clear instructions, helped me enormously in understanding the problem with my pad and ordering new parts. Generally I would advise all of us to just contact Sony if within warranty. Otherwise, try and be careful with how you open the outer casing, I used a flat screwdriver to pry all sides one by one carefully so I couldn't damage anything with too much force.
That's great Peter, if it's under warranty definitely grab yourself a fresh controller but we are always happy to help! More videos to come so stay tuned!
This is the best video I’ve found to help with my controllers, you’re doing the lords work out here 🥺💙
Just repaired thanks to this video much appreciated all had to do was order some new rubber pads
The x Button was stuck & the left Analog was only moving left. It took me 30min to follow your steps and now it is FIXED! Thank you so much! Greetings from Costa Rica!
I broke my controller doing this omg
Savage Dab 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Savage Dab me 2
lesson
Me too
R.I.P.
Thanks for posting this video, I was had some sticky buttons on my controller from 4 years of play and hated the feel of it so decided to try to sort it out. I was utterly terrified to take it apart incase I break it as ps4 controllers aren't cheap but following the steps in the video you helped me take it apart and clean the buttons with alcohol and put it together and it still works thankfully. Whilst taking it apart it was hard to take apart and I accidentally yanked the ribbon cable from the back plastic side and was terrified it broken it but thankfully the light still works. Once again cheers I wouldn't have attempted the fix without this video
Hey Josh this is such awesome feedback man, this is what we are trying to do for people, give them a good enough guide that they feel confident in giving that controller a fix instead of spending money! Super cool. If you have anything else you want to see us do give us a shout and we jus might.
Thanks so much dude! I spilled hot sauce all over my controller and was scared it was gonna break, but after cleaning the outside and then watching this to clean the inside, my controller feels and plays like brand new :) this video also taught me how to customize my buttons just in case I ever want to in the future. Thanks so much once again!!
Lmao bruh hot sauce is also what I spilled over the controller. Gonna try out the strat used in this video and hope it works
Did a walkthrough with a friend of mine over the phone who never fixed a controller before. Now it works. Thanks alot much!!!
That's awesome Hawk, Thanks for the feedback.
PS4 just needs to make better fkn controllers I bought like four now ffs
Deff agree, they spend too much time n money on the console but for some reason cant engineer a better controller..makes no sense
Same
PS4 has like the worst controllers
I’ve had mine for years now and it still works great
don't blame Sony for the controllers it only happens when you spill shit on it or hit the buttons to fucking much don't blame the entire company for your problem and if it was because of it don't forget Microsoft makes computers meaning they no more about buttons then Sony anyways
Thank you for that. Really useful
Great video man, my controller is wayyy better now. Love it👍🏼
Thank you for this tutorial I get to fix my controller buttons.
I’m officially a PS4 controller mechanic. This worked and putting together Gundam models paid off. haha
Thanks bro, it really means a lot to me. I really appreciate.
Just did this right now and it worked perfectly it’s easy just follow the video and pause when needed. Thanks bro💯
Very nice vid I might have to buy fancy sticks and buttons just to upgrade it
This saved me buying a new controller 4 buttons wouldn't even press and now it works fine thanks so much for the video
Thank you! Our goal is to help as many people as we can to revive their controllers.
This was the only video that I have actually learned something for doing everything new. Great vid!
thank you!! i was able to fix my mushy button thanks to your guide! :)
Thank you so much. The triangle ♻️ button stoped working for me and this helped so much. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!!!
Great video, helped me out. Thanks mate
Alternative tools for some steps: if you have short nails try tweezers, also a paper towel may work for removing whatever is causing the residues causing the button stick(it did for me but idk what was in there to cause the issue), otherwise great tutorial!
Followed this through and although the insides to my controller were slightly different, it worked and I couldn’t be happier! The only thing was when reassembling the controller, I smashed a piece of plastic I assume is something to do with the light bar, though the light bar is still working. Thank you so much!!!
Bro is it the white plastic thing at 9:43 because I just broke it if so what did you do did you just leave it hanging out
@@takeover3915 hi, I can’t see in the video where you mean but mine was like a sheet of white and clear plastic that shattered. But yeah mate, I just took it out of the controller altogether
thanks! this is a great tutorial that fixed my controller. Thank you so much!
Bro this guide helped me so much thank you for the great guide
We appreciate the feedback!
this video motivated to clean it so much that I even bought a new shell and buttons :D
U just earned yourself a subscriber 👍🏾
This truly did work for me, I had an old controller that had a different issue, I took out buttons pad and switched it into my new controller which x button was getting stuck
Thanks! This video helped me a lot. I thought it would be tough to do, but it was kinda easy. And now my controller's buttons don't stick anymore.
That's perfect man, I'm glad this helped out, once you learn the basics it does get kind of easy. It's all a step by step process and I'm glad this video got you through. Good job.
Tnks bro :) thinking on how or where to get those new buttons
When i did that i was extremely mad at you at first because the big pad in the middle fell out and i didnt see how to get it back in and i couldnt fit it back in. Then i just tried to put it back in from the other side. Shouldve done that first. Controller is fixed and at peak performance again. Thanks.
Thanks my controller is back in action! 👍🏾
I had an issue where the controller buttons were always registering input as well as being stuck, I jist poured vodka on it while mashing the button until it worked, this is a much smarter solution
😂🤣🤣😂
Yes thank you sir
Great video! Thank you!
Thank you!!🔥
thank u it works better than only giving alcohol without open the ds
Most helpful video for me
Thx ❤️
It’s much easier to change the button assignments. Settings-> Accesibility. ->Button assignments
Sooo, i took it apart and all I ended upneeding was to clean the buttons, and i think it messed up but it still works so thats good
This came in so handy. Thank you for sharing how to do this. I was able to fix my husband's limited edition controller.
That's awesome to hear, that's why we make these videos! We are trying to make it as informative as possible so you can save some money and or save that favorite controller from the trash can! Great stuff SmiStar!
That's so kind of you to do such a favor to your husband! The world needs more people like you.
Thank you for this! It helped me fix 2 controllers that were acting wonky. 😁👍
Thanks bro!
Tottally usefull video.
I had lost all hope.
Hey man we understand, when the chips are all in you need to take a chance, glad we could help! Cheers!
Ty this fixed my buttons
Thank you it worked
Thnx man it helped alot
No problem 👍
Thank you 🙏
Thank You Thank You Thank You. Good as new.
I am having trouble putting the shoulder buttons back on, you made it looks so easy
I needed this, but for others looking to follow this video, take things slow and be gentle as hell! He must have forgot that this is the first time for some of us. When you take the screws out make sure you slowly take it apart. Yanking or even a burst yank will fuck over your controller.
Damn it works, thanks so much!! Keep up the good work ❤❤❤
Thank you
It was easy to follow the instructions. I fixed the one sticky button that wasn’t working but now the controller light won’t turn on which is just fine with me. Other than that everything works just okay. 👍
Bro this helped so much like I have the fake one with the skin on it and it was sticking to the bottom my x button till I watched this
Broke my controller thanks 👍
Thx for you help. My circle button would constantly jam and didnt come out immediatly after pressing. Took my Nicon controller appart and it seems the rubber part which is directly under it was Hudini releasing itself from the board. So i just kinda stuffed a tiny bit of UHU super glue between the rubber and the board and fixed it in place with pliers waited a bit and then put everything back together. works better than ever now
best tutorial ever !!!
thanks bro much appreciated now i am gonna try this i hope everything goes well all i am worried about is while opening the controller at first i hope it does not break.
Allright wish me luck😅😅
thanks this worked
Hey this is a big comment read only if you want to spend 5 minuets of your time. Hey Gamenetics very helpful vid I recently got a new ps4 controller and unfortunately some oil somehow spilled on my controller causing sticky kinda stuck d pad so after watching this vid i took my broken old controller and oppened it up and did everything you did on my broken old controller to learn how to fix and tomorrow iam going to do the same on my other broken controller which still turns on, because the really old controller i practiced already on actually has not been turning on for 6 months now so iam going to be practicing on my other kinda old controller which i had for about 1 year and i started facing some issues but thankfully it still turns on but i still can not play any games on it so thats why i got a new controller which has oil stuck in it now. If my other controller still turns on after i rip it appart and fix it iam going to do it on my main controller which has oil in it.
This helped a lot thanks
Thank you Keplibo. No problem that's what we are here for!
Thanks much enuh sir
Broo you just saved me from buying another pad
Thank you so much for posting the video. My buttons have been stuck for a long time on one of my favorite controllers, I wanted to fix it but didn't know what I was doing. The controller works like new now that I cleaned inside of it thanks to you.
Really helpful
it solved the problem. thanks
Cheers mate I just needed to watch 5 mins. All sorted
That's what we like to hear!
Fixed one button, broke another... thanks
That’s tuff
LMAAAOOO
someone in the comments said that you should just blow on the button to fix it. and it worked for me!! so before disassembling your controller, try to just blow air on it
ayo thx my man
AIIGHHTTT THANKUU BROO ITS WORKKK💯💯
THANK YOU
Looks nice
THANKS!!!!
dropped an alcoholic beverage on the 2 I have and definitely noticed the buttons were impossible to play with...just took one apart yesterday w/o watching ANY diy videos and I got that sucker working perfectly...then I realized that it wasn't charging and the light wasn't working either...smmfh...ty for this video (which I should have watched b4 I took it apart) helped me fix the only part of the controller that didn't need to be fixed...lol...appreciate the help man, ☝🏻💜
Hey mate, we are so glad you got it fixed! Glad this helped, next time you might need to control those beverages ;) Appreciate the time you took to share this with us! Have an awesome day and stay safe from Corona!
@@Gamenetics lol, friggin beverages have a mind of their own sometimes...taking every precaution possible with COVID, hope you and yours are doing the same?...ty for reaching out, ☝🏻💜🍻
thanks man I suck at these sort of things and had a bit of PTSD after messing up a GBA screen swapout but followed your video on 0.75 speed and got it done lol
Good for you guys.
Thanks
thanks for the video, really helped
when i put my controller back together, the light wasnt working nor was my controller charging. Do you know why?
If you still have problems with the buttons it might be because of the clear pad holding the buttons in place. Not sure how to fix it but if you have a spare controller that doesn’t work but the buttons feel nice take the pad out of that controller and put it in your other controller and it’ll work perfectly fine
thx for sharing ;)
Thanks for watching! :)
