    I think someone has spilled something on BOTH my xbox 360 controllers. They were working perfect but now when I press down on any of the 4 main buttons they kind of stick...and stay down. They then slowly rise again. It feels as if there is some sort of sticky substance under the buttons.

    Are they ruined or is there some way to fix this ? *tear

    I had some gunk around the thumb stick that made it slower to return to the center. I just used a tussue with a tiny bit of warm water and it did the trick. If that doesn't work you could check an online guide about dismantling it, but I remember it's quite fiddly to get at.
