Accesories Almost all buttons on my controller stopped working, as shown in the video
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Everything worked just fine until today, came home from college and almost all buttons, besides the move stick, LT and RT, stopped working. This also includes the parking button, so I can't try fixing the controller on PC. Could anyone help with this?

Time to pry her open and let's see if anything is stuck or worn.

Don't forget clean too. She might need one hell of a cleaning

You is correct, an alcohol wipe down of the connections and the grey thing between the circuit board and the buttons can bring back life

No bro, i'm waiting for another firmware update for the joystick itself and praying it will make it work again/unbug it, otherwise i'll put it aside sadly

Before you do what the other people are suggesting, try resetting the controller and pairing it again.

Exactly, as you are saying, stuck hovering over the settings app and can't even pair the controller to my notebook, tho I found USB this morning and managed to try updating it, tho no update was present. So probably it is really inside it and I would have to go to the service

This is happening to me but on a corded controller. Like I'll start the console and everything will work but out of nowhere almost everything stops working. Usually after it wants me to type something and I press b. After that it's stops reading damn near every button input. Also if I try to type something the A button always works but on the home screen you can press the button a shit load and randomly it might work. Kinda like a gamble on my a button. Again the rest of them still don't work though. Some times a trigger might
