Xbox controllers are notorious for their sticky keys, which can be a real pain when trying to use them. Here’s how to fix them so they’re easier to use and stay in place.

  1. Start by taking off the keycap. This will free up the space on the controller for you to grip the keypad more securely.
  2. Place your hand over the top of the keycap and press down firmly with your palm. You should feel a “snap” as the keycap pops off.
  3. Now, place your other hand over top of the first hand’s grip and press down with your other palm, creating a “V” shape with your fingers. This will help keep the keycaps in place while you’re pressing them down.
  4. Keep these steps in mind as you try to fix sticky keys on Xbox controllers: make sure you have a good grip on both hands, press down firmly with both palms, and create a “V” shape with fingers when pressing down on keys
