Topic: How can stickiness be removed in an old PS3 controller ?

Hi everyone,

I have an unused PS3 controller from Mad Catz for COD Black Ops. Over time, it has become sticky and would like to know if there is a way to remove this residue without damaging the controller. Thanks in advance.

Lick it clean. I dare you.

Ask @kyleforrester87 - he gets jam in his controller all the time.

@Th3solution I was waiting for someone to mention jam

For real though, here you go:

“ If you look close at the controller, the rubber at the top is quite porous and can retain quite a bit of moisture and your body's natural oils. When the controller is in normal use, you're always pushing on top of the thumb sticks so all that grime stays inside, but given a chance to sit, all this excess material starts to ooze out of the rubber.”
