FIXED mine without parts, I disassembled the controller and used 91% rubbing alcohol to clean the "conductive contacts" under the metal D-Pad plates. Then I cleaned the metal contact plates. put it back together and it worked superb! I still gave the video a like for the parts listing.

@samuellindstrom2137 4 года назад

I did the same :)

@sentinel9651 4 года назад

Mine as well.

@italianbasegard 4 года назад

“I still gave the video a like for the parts listing” ... so you were wise enough to think: “Maybe if I take this sticker with four metal plates on it off for cleaning, then clean under them as well, then replace them, that’ll fix my problem!”, then you spontaneously came to this guys video to post your win, where he ironically suggests the same approach? No, you’re just riding on his coat tails with caps lock, ya narc. Glad you got your controller workin though

@TheTubejunky 4 года назад

@@italianbasegard Actually i was giving credit to the poster for having useful information in the video. I did however watch the video first and came to the conclusion I would try to clean mine and check the results. I found out it worked fine and thought I would share information with others that may choose this route to fix their controller. THE CAPS may have been there to grab the attention of Someone needing a fixed controller but didn't have the funds to expend on parts.

@IdiotRace 2 года назад

Thanks! I managed to use this guide to fix the d-pad on my 1708 xbox controller. I've been having issues with the d-pad doing double presses for ages. I tried cleaning the actual sticker part not realising that it needed replacing completely. Was a bit fiddly but was able to get the two boards separated without damaging any cables. Ordered a new d-pad membrane sticker from ebay for £1, cleaned the board with some IPA and reassembled with the new membrane sticker. Only thing I noticed is the 1708 membrane sticker is white instead of clear like in the video, I got a clear one from ebay. I could clearly see that the one I pulled off was definitely damaged with 3 of the directions having marks going through them. Carefully put everything back together and it's working great so far! I was honestly going to buy a new Xbox controller until I found this video, although there seems to be none in stock anywhere aside from ones selling for almost double the price so you saved me buying a £90 controller!!!

I found my d-pad sticking at times, due to too much Mortal Kombat. I opened it up and cleaned it. It made a difference, but it's still not right. So ordered the sticker on ebay. I'm pretty confident it will work. Thanks for the tutorial :)

If you D-Pad doesn't always register clicks, put your mouth over your d-pad and blow hard. Bit of random post but I'm putting this out there so that it is easy for people to find in the future because i found the information hidden in the comment section of a youtube video so credit for this fix goes to "Nerd Strangler." If you're D-Pad is not registering without you pressing really hard, try forming a seal over the d-pad with your mouth and blowing as hard as you can into it. It sound a bit weird and feels like a breathalyser test because the controller obviously isn't vacuum sealed. The reason for this is apparently a design fault where the controller uses carbon coated contacts for the metal switches (Carbon coated contacts are meant for rubber switches apparently) so the metal switches are grinding the carbon into dust and preventing electricity from conducting between the metal switches and the contact, therefore causing the d-pad to fail to register button presses. By blowing into the d-pad (if this is the problem you have) you should be able to clear the dust out from under the switches allowing the contacts to register properly again.

My controller was "for parts" until I saw this video. Thanks for showing the solution and a cheap fix. Saved a few dollars and got my D-Pad twerking just by peeling the original and cleaning the board and contacts as per TheTubejunky's comment below. It's Miller time! For anyone else attempting this, it is a major pain in the fudge chucker to get that board out without desoldering, even worse to reassemble. Tape your rumble packs so they aren't dangling around while you're trying to work. Good life advice in general.

@unstablerupture6983 4 года назад

@TheHeroicJunior 6 лет назад

Would have been nice if they designed the controller to have membrane buttons under the dpad like every other controller ever made. And also those plastic panels on the bottom, the tabs always break for me and the panels make a squeaky plastic noise with normal use. Third individual problem I have with the xbox one controller is the black foam pads on the bottom shell to make the triggers quiet (for me) get worn out. The xbox one controller from my two experiences with the original black and the slim white definitely aren't built as well as the 360 controllers.

@Megalocade Год назад

Yea I never understood why they went over to tactile switches even other consoles and aftermarket controllers use this method as well, I use the d pad for beatemups especially the retro ones and although the newer dpads get special moves out just fine it feels weird having the d pad clicking away

@travismarshall3089 6 лет назад

Wow! I didn't even know this was a replaceable part. At least as whole a "unit" as it is. I have a controller that the right on the D-Pad needed more "oomph" to register and all I did was cut to size a couple layers of electric tape. Nice to know about these replacements for future reference.

@NorCalWabbit Год назад

My controller was a little different. Top and bottom board was connected with some wire. I don't solder so that added a slight degree of difficulty. Other than that, your videos worked were awesome. D Pad up is working again! Thanks!

@calvin659 2 года назад

Took TheOneAndOnly’s advice, cleaned the D-pad, and layered three pieces of electrical tape on the problem area (D-Up). Works perfectly! Although I did accidentally rip out the cables for the left rumble motor during the process… Time to get to soldering!

@MattP79 6 лет назад

I found IPA (not the tasty beer kind) good for cleaning lightly soiled boards. For the nasty sticky mess from spilt high sugar/caffeinated soft drinks then acetone is more effective. Or acetone based nail polish remover - if you're cheap like me. I've had more than one controller where the liquid got under the d-pad sticker and coated the carbon in gunk making the d-pad position not work.

I bought my xbox one s brand new, I've barely touched it because I assumed this was just a problem the xbox one s had in general. BRAND NEW controller and it has issues, sometimes it double presses, sometimes it doesn't press at all, big issue for the games I play (Celeste, Dark souls, things that require precision). Thank you for providing a fix but I'm still not happy with the fact that I actually have to do this when I shouldn't.

@ImTheKingOfHyrule 5 лет назад

Microsoft should have used regular rubber contacts. Even the Xbox 360's pad wasn't as bad as the Xbox One's and that's saying something. I should not have to buy replacement parts for a game controller I've only had for about 2 years and yet here I am, ordering those metal dome switches.

@ImTheKingOfHyrule 5 лет назад

And to make things even more frustrating, a few months after fixing the pad it started having double click problems again. I even shaved the insulation off of the contacts and added little dabs of solder in a vain attempt to improve the contact, and it only fixed the problem temporarily. For any game that requires precise timed inputs the Xbox One's D-pad is awful because you never know when it's going to skip or repeat an input.

@theoneandonly15 3 года назад

I have a fix that’s pretty cheap, cut some pieces of tape like pretty small pieces and place it behind the dpad button, I just used 1 inch plastic tape and covered the area with about 3 layers and now it clicks very well

I lined it up perfectly but am still having issues. I’ve replaced the sticker twice now. My up and left directions are problematic. Any suggestions?

@simoncossettini9680 Год назад

a little late but also noticed that the actual button has plastic tabs/towers underneath that press down on the contact - the plastic tabs are different heights but can get flattened out slightly so they dont apply enough force to acivate / stay suck or don't rebound. electrical tape layers seems to be the cheap fix - or new button plastic switch...

Hi, my xbox one controller is constantly locked in the dpad down position. All other buttons work fine. Physically, there doesn’t seem to be anything wrong with buttons or anything. I replaced the pads the same as you did, making sure I cleaned it with iso propyl alcohol but still, same thing still happening. Any ideas?

@f1o0k 3 года назад

Same issue here. Have an elite series 1. Even went so far as to order a replacement top board (the one with the d pad on it), and still having the same issue... So either the board has the same defect which seems unlikely, or there's something else going on. May try and replace the bottom board (the one with the joysticks), but don't understand how that would affect anything... You ever figure it out?

If you want your dpad to work and have the same not clicking problem, don't waste money on the membrane sticky keys for your dpad.
