PS3 Console \ Stiff SIXAXIS control stick

gzagza says:

hey guys

my SIXAXIS starting to get really stiff nowadays and is putting off my aim (lol).This is obviously due to the constant use of it. I've got six controllers but have this obsessive compulsion for each of the six to work properly (sounds stupid, but believe it).Anybody know of any solution to loosen it up a bit. Some sort of lubricant maybe that won't destroy it.

regards
Pat

Lol, airwolf you dirty dirty minded person.
I suggest what longarms said, take apart and clean the pads. Make sure you put it back together the right way too

Mine feels like it's sort of breaking in the middle. You know how they join the front bit of it to the back, yer where the glue or whatever it is

You mean the front face? I am not really sure where there is glue...

Are you sure there's glue in there? I'm pretty sure it's just held together by the screws, well that's been the case with every other controller.

H4mmersmit says:

lol well it's quite interesting you say that because one of the palm bits on the controller seems to have popped out of allignment on mine as a bit of the edge at the bottom is hanging over slightly crappy dam controllers hahaha
