Thank you for the helpful video. Props for how quickly and effortlessly you pulled those side grip pads off.

I was struggling to get the spring back in, but I put the top in first and it worked just fine. Just in case anyone was having the same issue with the newer controllers that have another longer tab to insert on the top. Awesome video, fixed it! Thanks :)

I originally opened up my Controller to fix the Bumpers but then I needed to fix the D pad. Your video was perfect. I don't like messing with things but your video made me feel at ease to give it a shot. Thank you soo much.

Thanks so much man! I was putting a new shell around my controller and the d-pad was not working properly at all.. Thanks to your video,, it is. My personal savior!

To think I was about to buy a new controller when fixing mine was so easy. I had to bend the spring a good bit for it to work again, but it did! Thank you so much for this.

Thanks, worked like a charm. The hardest part was taking off the side panels. Was afraid of breaking them since it's my Cyberpunk 2077 controller. But now its all good. Decided to use a q-tip and some rubbing alcohol to also clean out any dirt/dead skin that built up in the controller while I had it open. Working perfectly fine now.

omg thank you so much. i accidentialy dropped the dpad as I was doing something else and I panicked because i had no idea how to put it back tysm!

I had this problem and I was about to get a new controller but your video totally helped me out and I can’t thank you enough

Ok so what if the button still isnt clicking? Could you go deeper into the dpad to show some solutions,or is my dpad done for?

I had this same question! I know this is super old but I still found this video when I was looking, so maybe this will help someone: First, I dripped a small amount of hand sanitizer in there. I'm sure pure rubbing alcohol would have been better. Try at your own risk. Then I kind of mopped it up with the corner of a napkin. My dpad button was still stuck in the pressed position (it was the right one, by the way). So I took a piece of packing tape and folded it so I could stick it to that button only and try to pull it out of the pressed position. it worked, but then it slipped right back to pressed. I figured I was done for and it had lost its spring, but I kept messing with it. After many times of pulling it back into the unpressed position, it stayed there and could click down. I had to do it more before I could click it and it would unclick on its own. I put it back together and it seems to be ok so far, but try this at your own risk I guess; I am no expert, and it was a janky process.

Thank you for posting this video. I was finally able to fix my day one controller!

what a legend, cheers mate! dropped my controller and broke it into pieces, followed this and got it back to pristine condition! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

One semi important tip for the screws. The one in the middle, where the batteries are, I did not see at first. I only saw the 4 screws. 2 on each side, and then I tried opening the top off. Didn't work. What I didn't realize, there is a sticker covering the 5th screw. The one in the battery section is in the middle, just under the Zip code on the sticker. Just use a small device to tear open the sticker in that spot. Then poof ! , there's your last screw. Maybe most of you already knew this, but I didn't and I wanted to help out the others that didn't as well.

Great video ! I followed your directions, and also bought the specific tool to unscrew the screws. Was a few bucks on Amazon. Alas, it didn't fix my problem:(. Apparently my controller d pad is no longer working. Everything else on it works great. Oh well, was hoping I could just spend a few bucks for the tool as opposed to 40-50 bucks for a new controller. Thanks anyways

Not to seem petty but If I am showing everyone there are 5 screws and show there one under the battery cover and if a viewer is following along and sees a sticker on their controller, isn't it safe to assume their going to say to themself... "oh I have a screw under my sticker" I just saw it as common sense.

It very good video to help. I had a trouble with Dpad button got stuck down Dpad. So I took it apart recleaned it,fix the string bend it little bit. It work well. I hit like button

I did this and it actually made the problem massively worse, as in my right direction that had become desensitized now almost doesn't work at all after doing this. I did bend the springs a bit more than you did - is it possible to go too much in the other direction like that? They don't look too bent or anything...

what annoys me is why the fuck did they use torque screws for this pos?? Frustrating af. Needed to buy me one of those torque screw drivers.

Thank you sir, saved the day!

Ty I make controllers and forgot this helped alot

My D pad clicks fine, but does not respond properly on screen. Sometimes you push two or three times before it moves once in a menu. Sometimes you push once and it jumps two or three spots. Any ideas?

Wow thanks! My bottom d pad part was sitting on top of the metal bit for some reason, so wasn't clicking.

Thank you. My D-left clicks again!

Thank you. Just had to swap the core of a new controller with my primary that the right stick was drifting. Must have mishandled the spring a bit. Took it out and reformed it and now it's just fine. Is controller modding a viable means of income? This was a fun project.

Thanks for the help.

thank you I spilled orange juice on my whole controller, had to clean everything with alcohol and my dpad was sticky and this just fixed it. The controller works perfectly fine now :)

Thanks this helped me out alot

Thanks very helpful

Great video @ 3.12 I don't get 4 clicks only 3 do so i assume one of the actual buttons is broken do you now how the change/fix it??

I got the Xbox series x 20th anniversary controller, and according to Google, some batches had the spring for the d-pad make an annoying slight sound like a guitar string. Personally I really don't want to take my controller apart because it's a collector's item, so what do you think the noise is and what do you suggest?

The left side of my pad has no spring to it at all. When i'm running in hardline it drops ammo packs by itself. I was doing a lot of driving in 10 matches, then the left side of d pad went dead and the throwing of the ammo?

Thank you worked great!

I have 2 gamepads. One perfectly functional and one with an issue. With the functional one, if I'm in an Xbox menu navigating through tiles, if I keep pressing right it starts going easily tile by tile * tick tick tick *. The same if I press left * tick tick tick *. With the bad one, I if keep pressing right is ok. If I keep pressing left it goes through those tiles to the left, but very very fast. First I thought it was a spring issue, but because the behavior differs when the button is being pressed continuously the spring should not matter. Do you have any advice on what might have gone wrong?

my left dpad registers a long press even tho it clicks. In other words, it feels great but will fly across the screen if I push it . I cleaned it, etc. Can I use electrical spray?

I have the controller with the wires, so when I tried this to disassemble it to fix the D-pad, it was assembled a bit differently, didn't have the battery pack.

Thanks really really helpful

I have an elite controller where the dpad is acting weird. When I click up or down the dpad doesn't react the first time, but after the first click it reacts normally. Then, when I stop using it for a minute or so I have the same problem again. First try nothing happens and after that the dpad works fine as long as I keep clicking. Any idea what the problem could be?

My down D pad on my series x controller is stuck and it won’t correct itself. I have tried blowing in it and rubbing alcohol what should i do to fix it? Some help would be appreciated

Thank u so much if u didn't put this video I wouldn't be able to play my Xbox One s 😀😀

What size screw driver do u need

My d pad left wont recognize an input about 50% of the time if i press it quickly. But when i take the dpad out and press the buttons it works every time with no problems. Is my board worn too much in the spot that the dpad strikes? Would have just bought a new one if it wasn't an elite

I'm having a issue where it's even repeatedly clicking itself or doesn't do anything when i click it even after cleaning it?

What kind of screwdriver did you use I can't quite tell what type to use

Thanks man worked for me

thanks this helped a lot

I have that same exact controller with the same exact D-Pad problem

Anyone know where i could get a new ring for the d pad? I kinda have bent it wrong so the d pad wont feel right. Happily it still works but i would like to have it working right.

Thx bro it help me alot

Thanks for tour explanation, my dpad left and down do not work

Looks like a bad design. Just bought a new Xbox Wireless controller and the dpad's up direction has an uneven springy click compared to the rest. Wonder if I exchange for another or replace it with Switch Pro controller.

Do you know we’re I can buy this screw and what type is it can’t find it at any store

What screw driver do I need to use?

my dpads button are all fine whenever i took the faceplate off, but when i put it back on the down button becomes all mushy again.. i have no idea how to fix this?

what screw driver did u use

The right button on my d-pad clicks but has stopped working in game. It does not function at all. Would you know how to fix that?

I have a different problem, on my depad all four of them click. but my bottom button and the right one on the depad don't work. is this fixable? please help.

You’re a lifesaver

what if it clicks bout requires more pressure than usual for the input to actually work? should I still try this?

I have the same problem, the dpad on the sides and the one on the top are pressed well but they don't work, and the one on the bottom doesn't hear the "click" but it's the only one that works, does anyone know what it could be?

Thanks i fix one controler resold the chip and all work but dpad wont thanks now full working.

is there any way to get rid of this clicking noise? I hate that! Why did they made it to click. So redicilous!

Absolute legend

And what if it isn’t stuck or sticky but after it clicked it doesn’t react until I use all my power with 2 thumbs?

i relize this vid is a bit older but if you could message me back that would be great. ok so i did everything in the vid and none of the buttons on the dpad are sticking, however the dpad keeps pushing down all by itself. like i said when i take it appart all the buttons click so i dont know what it is
