The XBOX 360 Wired Controller I have is more than seven years old. I have a post when I bought it. Two weeks ago, I tried to clean it. So I unscrewed seven screws. I took out the parts and cleaned them. When I put them together, I found one rubber pad was broken. One of the small black conductive rubbers fell.

I have experience. You can find any small replacement parts on Aliexpress for cheap. You need a little bit of patience for shipping. It may be shipped from a place you never heard of.

I placed the order on July 25. Today, I received the package.


The right one is the original rubber pad. It is broken.


My controller is transparent.
I almost forgot it. The wires that connect the shaking motors to the main board were separated when I cleaned them. So I hand-weld them. I do have some welding skills for electrical components.

Now. I put them all together and connected the Xbox 360 Controller to my computer. It works like a new one.

This Xbox 360 Wired Controller uses a normal USB port. So I can use it on my PC, Windows 11.
