Introducción

If the face buttons on the Xbox Duke Controller aren't working properly, sticking when you press them, not registering input, or delaying the input, use this guide to replace them.

Before using this guide, check to see if there is dirt or debris that is interfering with the buttons. Spraying a small amount of contact cleaner into the button can potentially fix the problem. Otherwise, the problem may lie in the silicone pads or the double-sided graphite tape that contacts the motherboard.

Before beginning, make sure to disconnect your Duke controller from the Xbox or any other console it may be plugged into.
