A few months ago, my left analogue stick ripped in 2 and8bitdo support got back a little too late, so I added superglue. THey sent me replacement sticks for me to replace the broken one with, but now I can't take the broken one. It's completely stuck. What do I do now?

8BitDo Pro 2 Wired: Shoulder button membrane switch won't stay together

Sun, 10 May 2026 04:06:59 -0700

Hi guys. First time posting so sorry if I'm stupid and didn't attatch the image properly.

I took apart my controller cause r1 wouldn't spring back and discovered the pad fell through the slot of the membrane. (right one in the image, left is intact) I tried putting it back up but it just falls through again when pressed. I've never dealt with membrane switches before so please tell me if i'm missing somthing.

I found a post here on the forum where someone else had the same sholder button problem and a recommendation given was to order new membrane and replace it. But op hadn't opened it yet and didn't return with updates so i thought i should ask if i can fix it on the spot first before ordering, just to save myself the shipping time.

Thanks in advace

Logitech RS50 Base: Where I can buy the plastic guides that secure the base to a rig

Sun, 10 May 2026 02:24:44 -0700

The plastic guides that go between the metal plate that holds the steering wheel base. To mount the base to the rigs bucket style seat broke, because my metal plate didn’t had all the 4 holes lining up with the metal plate. The pattern is different and I only could put two screws instead of 4 so the wheel got lose and broke the plastic guides.I decided to use the clamp but I want to replace the guides and don’t want to use the warranty just for that. Do you guys know were I can find them even aftermarket maybe could do. If there is no og parts yet. Thanks in advance

Scuf Instinct Pro: Wireless connection issue - no longer syncing

Mon, 04 May 2026 08:09:40 -0700

So I had a person attempt to repair the stick drift issue it was having. On return, the repair person said that the wireless wouldnt work for them with their xbox ( this was working before I gave it to them) and they said it was never set up for xbox...
Im looking at the instinct and the ps version and I think they went through and did the repairs of the ps5 on the instinct... but I am unsure about its wireless sensors. the button does engage and light up, but no devices, windows, ps, or xbox can see it anymore.

Any suggestions on what I should focus on? or what to check to see might need to be replaced?

Where can I get parts for this? specifically looking for the face buttons and the phone connector. On that note, can the lighting phone wire be swapped out for the usb-c phone wire? basically can I convert my iPhone Backbone to an Android Backbone by swapping the wire?

Afterglow Wireless PS3 Controller: Why won't my remote turn on?

Tue, 14 Apr 2026 22:40:07 -0700

Hi, I haven't used some PS3 controllers in a while and now they won't turn on. I've tried connecting them to the console, the PC, and the power outlet, but nothing works.

I managed to get one of them to turn on by pressing the small button on the back, but now it won't.

Thanks.

GameSir G7 SE: Replacing the rumble motor on a Gamesir G7 SE

Tue, 07 Apr 2026 00:27:05 -0700

I have an out-of-warranty Gamesir G7 SE. The left grip motor only works when the controller is either shaken or tapped/hit against a hard surface. The motor works for a while and then dies out again. Contact cleaner didn't help.

Can I use a motor from another (XBox or PlayStation) controller to replace it? I know I would have to reuse the old (Gamesir) connector and re-solder the wires. Which colored wires should be soldered together? I'm presuming Gamesir black to (XBox/PlayStation) black and Gamesir gray to (XBox/PlayStation) red.

The motor inside the right-handed trigger is out completely, but my priority is focused on the motor inside the left-handed grip.
