I’ve had this controller since the beginning of the year, and I left it unused for about 4 months because my friend lent me his PlayStation 4. I kept the controller in the box to avoid dust, but now that I tried to use it again to resell, I noticed that the A, B, X, and Y buttons feel “soft.” Does anyone know how to fix this or at least make it better?
#My control was inside the box for about 4 months and then the buttons became "soft"

it looks like you got something sticky on it try cleaning it with Isopropyl alcohol
worthy kestrel
My brother spilled my isopropyl alcohol. Can I use regular alcohol instead?
solar plume
no...

😭

especially since higher concentration of alchol can damage parts of the controller
solar plume
if you dont have Isopropyl alcohol then you can use baby wipes
worthy kestrel
But I think the problem is more inside, the handkerchief would only clean outside
You're writing the Bible, brother?

the only thing anyone here can recommend is the clean the outside of the controller. for anything inside take it to a game shop and have them fix it at ur own risk if u think there is something wrong with the internals
