Thanks for this. At least it's not super complicated... Wait.
You got this Dennis!
Yeah great design choice by Sony. "Oh there's an area of the controller, you need to access to clean? Let's make them take the entire controller apart from the back"🙄. The new controller sucks, I never had a button stick on my PS4 controller, but in the only 2 months I've had 2 stuck buttons on the dualsense🤬
@@rugbyelite1361 Yeah... PS5 controller seems to be extremely prone for shit to get inside. I had a friend at my house and we had couple of beers, didn't even spill the stuff on controller but apparently some kind of small stuff from hands got in and now I'm fcked
@@rugbyelite1361 same here.
My thoughts. I mean ffs. I’ll just buy a new controller for £40.
My controller buttons started feeling sticky about 3 days after I got it, without me spilling anything on it or something like that. I even contacted Sony to get it replaced, but they would have required me to send it back and then they would "evaluate" it for about 3 weeks and so on. Completely absurd. It was my only controller, so it made no sense. I used some alcohol on the outside every few days, and it did improve a bit, but not for long. Such a hassle to have to keep cleaning it or push through playing with damn sticky buttons.
Fast forward a couple of months and I came across this video. Finally got around following it, and it worked! It feels literally better than new, specially considering mine started getting sticky almost out of the box. Highly recommend it, and do watch those ribbon cables. You can't be too careful.
Loved the instructions by the way. In many tutorials they just do it but don't explain the little details that do make a difference, like keeping the ribbon cables from getting stuck and the direction to unclip the front plate.
10/10, would follow tutorial again!
Just rub a qtip with rubbing alcohol in circles around the button and press it a bunch of times, repeat until no longer sticking. DO NOT drench it in alcohol. Do at your own risk. Many people will break their controllers disassembling it!
That method can also work!
Oh my god Thanks! This tip help. I was worried about dissembling, your tip help. Its like new, i just spray little 98 percent alc. On my sticky triangle button, press it bunch times and it work and don't demage my dualscense, if i dissembling it, it can demage it.
Also mistakes made while disassembling voids the warranty. If I had a dollar for every time someone said they tried to fix the problem by taking it apart because of some video online......
Will this work on the PS button? One of my DualSense's PS buttons clicks rather loudly and hard when I press it.
Yep that's what I just did. Much better than all this nonsense.
Brilliant video. My dpad was broke but this helped me fix it - easy to follow and simple, clear instructions.
Thank you. Just fixed my controller. I was so scared, sweating the while time. But it's done! And works like a dream.
My son busted a stress ball of sand over the controller. Every button was jammed. This video saved our controller! I was easily able to follow along and clean the controller. Thank you!!
bro you literally saved my life. I was going absolutely ballistic with the sticky buttons. I tried cleaning the outside so many times until I came across your video and felt confident enough to break it apart without accidentally damaging it and having to purchase a new one. Thanks a lot man!
This video made it so easy man, Thanks. Step by step you were on point with everything, no more sticky buttons!! Also wanted to add if it helps anyone I was a little nervous putting the ribbons back in the slots. Each ribbon on top is shaped like a T head. For the bigger ribbons, I placed them on the slot loosely, then used my finger nails on each side to push them down with no problems.
My brand new controller had a stiff & squishy X button, right out of the box. It drove me insane and I was about to send it in or buy a new one but this video saved my life 🤘🏼
It was a little nerve racking but it ended up being extremely simple and I’m just happy that I don’t have to wait a month for Sony to fix it or spend $70 on a new one now 😁
Thank you for this video. 2 buttons on my son's controller stopped working. I took it apart and found a bit of water on the sensor. Wiped it dry and re-assembled. Everything is working perfectly. Thanks again!
Great tutorial and very easy to follow. At first I was intimidated by the thought of disecting my controller, but it wasn't too bad with this guide. This fixed my sticky button issue and you saved me from buying a new controller. Thank you!
Thanks! Thought I was going crazy with those sticky buttons! Everything works, the tutorial is simple and understandable
Very handy. A little daunting around those ribbon cables but you explained it very well. Thanks!
this is the perfect solution, safe and efficient! this happened to two of my controller and the video helped with the first, as for the second, the stickiness was closer to the surface so I used air can to clear any particles around the button. I'd suggest trying that first if you're not sure about opening your controller but in any case this video has by far the best solution to this problem! thank you once more Gamenetics DIY!!
Thanks!
I just literaly blew so air into the button myself and it helped :D
Had a stock bumper, and all I needed to know was to pop it out then put it back! Didn’t know it was that easy. Thank you so much!!
No idea how my one button got sticky but this fixed the issue. Kept each screw part ina separate container than I screenshoted and named to make it easier. You helped a ton!
Thanks for this, my controller had a really spongy X button. It didn’t even seem to be grimy in there, but getting it out and wiping everything down has fixed it and it feels like new.
Really nice walk through! None of the fluff that normally plagues these kind of vids, meaning I don't need to start skipping bits and missing important information... Not that I ever did that with the ps4's WiFi pin wire... 🙄
You just saved a controller's life
I was so nervous while following your instructions cuz I've never done this and the ps5 controller is very sensitive, and i thought at some point i messed it up but after i finished it was working perfectly fine, thank you so much for the video you deserve plenty of support!
The best solution ever with the most detailed guide. Thank you so much for making this video!
Exceptional video, watched it 1x and ran to grab my controller. Took me about 30 minutes to complete, great job and thank you!
Took me over an hour but got it done! Thanks man.
Thank you for this awesome tutorial! Very informative and easy to follow.
thank you for this video, your instructions were easy to follow and it fixed my problem. :)
I discovered that my buttons weren’t sticking because they were dirty but the rubber retaining piece had come loose and was no longer snugly attached to the four little prongs. This allowed extra play in the button and was preventing it from quickly returning to neutral. I feel this is likely the cause of many of the early sticking problems people are experiencing. Thank you for this video. I’ve never attempted anything like this and I was able to do it with minimal effort.
TJ that is awesome man, good job! You make a good point there as well, with another potential problem people could be having revolving around that rubber piece on the back of the buttons. Thanks for the feedback we love it!
What do you do with the rubber piece?
@@kushajustabird7337 reattach it to the four little pegs by pushing it snuggly. I think when the controllers are shipping from the factory, they aren’t secured well and are coming loose very easily.
@@Gameneticsspray paint stuck in my button
Great video. My options button on mine was completely stuck. I followed along with this video and now it works like a charm. Awesome work.
You sir have made my day. Wish I searched this 2 controllers ago🤦🏽♂️. The good news, it fixed my problem and also revived my original controller. Just need to find my second controller and if it works I now have 3 in working condition. Thank you
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I thought I would’ve had to buy another controller but I followed everything you did and it’s now working perfectly! I thought at first it was too risky because I’m not good with internal shit but it was easy thank you
Thanks man, this worked a treat ! My control is a month old but thanks to my toddler, It brought me to this video. Lol Maybe it was meant to be ! 😂 Subbed.
This tutorial is very helpful. I fixed my sticky button problem and my controller and it works perfectly! This also prevented me from buying a new controller. Thank you!
Oddly enough, quite simple in the end but wow they didn't make it easy to get to the face buttons. Thanks for the tutorial, it really helped!
Thank you for this guide. My buttons were sticky and now the controller feels like new!
Excellent video. Made the daunting task of opening the controller super easy and solved what was an extremely annoying problem. Keep up the great work!
Before making a video for a controller tear down can you PLEASE use a camera that can focus correctly, this was hell and a handbasket because of the other end of the mic ribbon came loose I cannot figure out where to put it for an hour. But once I finally did and put it back together the buttons do feel better thank you
Thanks bro I did it in about 15 mins following this video
You’re a legend for this brother, it worked out for me like a bomb
Great video cleaned out all the sticky soup no problems 👍🏾
Dude. Thank you. This worked flawlessly
Thanks for this detailed video, just got my sticky button fixed.
Thank you for sharing this video, great help for fixing my controller!
Thank you yours was the first vid that popped up I accidentally stepped on my controller and my right side buttons were stuck and I managed to fix it and clean nothing was broken thank goodness!
That's great! Thanks for the feedback.
Thank you for the guide! It seemed like a daunting task to take the controller apart but it was actually easy with your guide, I successfully fixed my buttons. Keep up the good work!
We really appreciate that! We are trying our best to make these guides as easy to follow as possible. Good job Raff and thanks for the feedback!
Worked like a charm. Good walkthrough.
We're glad it worked for you!
cheers man, controller got dropped and both the R1 and R2 buttons were stuck. this gave me enough to get to the problem.
Loads of help. Got the gunk out my buttons from my nephew and customized the front to match my purple ps5. Thanks.
So I've had the red and black controllers since release and the red has had a sticky d-pad basically since I bought it. Finally decided to do something about it and this video helped so much.
10/10 big thanks, saved me from getting mad at people selling stuck buttoned controllers as new online.
Great help. First time opening the controller. Very straightforward very simple thanx to this video
Thanks for the tutorial, saved me.
dude awesome man, you saved my new controller that had a x button that just kept staying stuck down after getting a spill on it. Thanks man
That's what we like to hear! No problem.
Thank you. Those ribbon connectors were the worst part of this process, but it's guide made it fairly easy to follow
Great video. It helped me solve the sticky button problem. Thanks!
Great video man, it fixed my problem very nicely. I do wish the camera was more in focus though, since there were many times, I found myself guessing what you were doing, but it was not a big problem. so thank you very much
Cannot stress this enough, really be so so careful with the ribbon cables. Just tried to take one out, being as gentle as would allow me to remove it, and it tore in half :)))
Yay for easy controller maintenance.
i also cut a wire what can i do?
@@omaredunation6670 look online for a little kit to fix the ribbon cables for a controller, they aren't too expensive are the only annoying bit is putting the ribbon cable in, but it worked a treat for me
Thanks for the guide and fix the focus next time :)
Worked out really well, no problems. Thank you for making this video. The button was very annoying.
Glad it helped!
Thank you for this man my controller just messed up and I fixed it off this🙏🏾
Great video. I just need to open it up and clean the sticks with some alocohol in hopes that the drift would go away and it did! Thanks for the video 👍
bought a used control online ithad sticky buttons watched your vid now the thing feels just like new thanks!
Thank you for the feedback!
WOW this vid is amazing. I can't believe I did this to my controller. Thank you
Thanks. Right to the point t and simple to follow
Thanks for this
Thank you this helped out a lot!
Hey Zuramaru that's awesome. we are always happy to hear that everything worked out they way it should! Thanks for the feedback!
Great video! Worked perfectly! Saved me a new controller.👏🙌
Thanks a lot ))) i lost one screw in the process but still it assembled pretty good and solid
The triangle button got stuck on our conroller. this video helped very good. now it works again. thx
Great instructions! Thank you🤩
Had a stuck Options button. I didn't need to do a full tear down, only needed to remove the back cover and the button popped back into position. Thanks 🙂👍
Thank you, I fixed my sticky button, the black plastic cover in the front is really fragile, I made some dents when removing it and broke two clips when putting it back, however the controller looks good enough.
Saved me 50 quid thank you so much easy to follow
Great video, such a big help really thank you
Very good video with clear instructions without unnecessary in depth breakdown of parts.
Please listen to his last words! This might not be the easiest way to fix it but this is THE way to fix it. Also... Now you know how to disassemble your controler with confidence for unknown future problems ✌️
I just SUBBED great video I thought it was gonna be tough but you made it easier bro THANK YOU 💪🏾🔥
Legend. Very easy to follow step by step. Saved me from having to buy another controller. Thank you!
Great overview. Well done. 🍻
Worked but by God that had me on edge!!!
Really helpful. Thanks alot 🙏
Sticky buttons solved. Thanks for your help
Great help. Unsure if it has been said here but I do not recommend using the metal pry tool for removing the first piece outlined in the video. If you have an Ifixit tool kit use the thin plastic guitar pick looking tool for the first few steps on the trim because that black plastic piece takes and shows damage easily.
Great video had a problem with a hard to press mute button this worked like a charm
This helped a lot, my controller buttons were sticking pretty bad after just a few months. I was honestly about to buy a new controller, but now it’s as good as new. Really wasn’t difficult at all with this video. Thanks!
Thx for the help. Ik was a great help
Thanks a lot.. fixed👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
thanks bro, saved my life
Ty got straight to the point subscribe no problem
We appreciate your feedback!
Yup jus fixed my dirty sticky X button! Thanks for the vid home boi!!!!!!
Thank you for this video
Thank you, managed to fix my X button that was constantly sticking. Not as complicated as it looks, the only thing I did slightly different was when putting back together I put the back on while leaving the front on my lap, save having to try and hold the battery in place.
Right on man, that was our goal to make it as simple as we can. I'm glad you fixed that controller. 👍
Cheers for that brother😂😂was about to buy a new controller 😬
I was just about to order a new one, when … I was checking TH-cam to see if is anything I can fix. Thanks to you, I saved £60.00. Well done!!! Big thanks
Bro awesome tut, thanks
It worked simple effective thanks bro
No problem 👍 I'm glad we could help!

Thank u just seen how u got the r 1 button out got it sorted now just pop it up and back it works fine now thanks 😊
No problem 👍 easy fix! Glad this helped!
Awesome tutorial bro. 10/10 👌💪
Thanks! I hade a sticky square button and this video helped me. Could use better auto focus on your camera though.
Thank you for your feedback! We've definitely been working on the focus issue after filing this video.
Eazy peazy, Thanks!
Thanks for your help! Saved me $90 from buying a new controller. Liked and subbed.
Thanks for this video!!
Just followed it and can happily say i successfully took it apart, cleaned it and put it back together and it has totally stopped the buttons from sticking! 😊 although i didnt have the white part on top of the inside of the controller at 4:14 so didnt need to unscrew anything for some reason but really great tutorial. Saved me 60 on another controller ❤
