It happens to the best of us. My Xbox 360 controller was sitting on my coffee table. I accidently knocked over a glass of soda and the controller was hit.

I was able to dry the surplus soda off the unit, but the buttons immediately became sticky and slow to respond. I figured this would be an easy fix, so I came to Amazon to find an Xbox 360 controller screwdriver.

I placed my order and received it in just two days.

Opening up the controller took just a few minutes. I gently unscrewed the security screws as to not strip them. The controller loosened up, but took a little massaging due to the dried soda.

After opened, I cleaned the controller housing with water, cleaned all the electrical contacts and buttons with 50/50 alcohol and water. I was also able to clean out all the crud that builds up between the two haves of the controllers.

I blew out all the extra water using a hair dryer. I let the housing and buttons sit for an hour.

I put the controller back together in reverse order and everything worked beautifully. No more sticky and slow responding buttons.

At $5 bucks, you cannot go wrong. As the title says, I saved $50 bucks.

I tried to use a regular torx screwdriver to take apart my XBOX 360 controller and it wouldn't work due to the trick screws that were used to put said controller together. They have a small raised nub in the center that kept my standard torx driver from fitting. However, the driver I'm reviewing worked flawlessly and I was able to take apart and clean my controller without difficulty. If you are nervous about tearing apart your controllers to make your own repairs, go to youtube and watch some of the many instructional videos on how to take apart your stuff before you try it.

Perfect Xbox 360 controller screwdriver. I've used it for a dozen or so mods thus far.
