i bought this torx 8 screw drivier the other day and fixed 4 of my broken xbox 360 controllers in one day..... 3 of them had sticky buttons easy enough to clean them....the tricky one to fix was the one with the broken right bumper a required a little creative solution, duct tape and good as new.....i had no idea it was so easy to fix them its fool proof you cant even put the buttons in the wrong holes it was designed for morons like me...but now i'm a little pissed i threw some controllers away in the past....i'd suggest buying this one off amazon it works perfectly http://www.amazon.co...0089688&sr=8-15

thats the thing about xbox's, theyre built like crap but anyone can fix them with some basic tools lol

I've been pretty lucky - my consoles & controllers have held up pretty good. The only thing that normally goes wrong with mine is the mic jack getting screwed up - I guess from it dropping and yanking out...dunno...It is nasty all the crap that gets down in those joysticks

yeah you aint kidding u sure are lucky i've been through 10 xbox's (not exxagerating) thank god i had bought the warranty every year....but now that i bought the slim havent had any issues....and controllers i used to go through those like crazy too cause when i got pissed i used to wail them aginst the wall....thank god i havent done that in a while it costs too much ...but i also broke my turtle beach headset a while back by throwing it....boy am i hard on things

lol My Ps3 Controller has it the wall many times, but still going strong, apart from me being able to put my fingers in it lol have a look for yourself

So If I buy a PS3 controler off of you, Will it come with a human finger inside?

I still don't understand how people get so angry while playing video games that they throw their controller. This concept blows my mind. Maybe I'm too calm? Am I not hardcore enough?

I've definitely felt like it before, but never actually done it. Those things dont come cheap enough to have it be worth the momentary frustration release.

I keep my controllers in a cabinet, never let anyone else touch them (bring your own), keep a dust cover over everything, and the go to the shooting range when I feel the need to throw one. Solves all problems...
