Controller Deep Cleaning — $20 to $40
Years of hands, dust and the occasional spill build up inside a controller and around its inputs. A deep clean strips the whole plastic shell and the circuitry back to fresh — and includes a brand-new pair of thumbsticks while we're in there.
Inside and out
- Full shell cleanthe entire plastic housing, grips and seams.
- Circuit board cleangrime, dust and residue cleared from the internals.
- Fresh thumbsticksa new pair of stick caps included in the service.

$20–$40 depending on the controller and how much build-up there is. Great to pair with a drift repair if the controller's already open.

Deep cleaning questions
What does the deep clean cover?
The full plastic shell and the circuitry inside, plus a fresh pair of thumbsticks. The controller is reassembled with no creaks or gaps.
Why is the price a range?
It's $20–$40 depending on the controller and how much build-up there is. Heavier grime or a more complex controller sits at the higher end.
Will cleaning fix sticky buttons?
It often helps with inputs gummed up by residue. If a button is mechanically worn rather than dirty, that's a button repair instead — we'll tell you which it is.
Can you clean and fix drift at once?
Yes, and it's efficient to do both while the controller is open. We'll quote the combined work.
Does it come with new sticks?
A fresh pair of thumbsticks is included in the deep clean.
