Hello everyone! I need some help.
While I was playing a game on my Xbox, my favorite FightPad broke. (See pictures for more details.) I would like to know if any of you know if and where I can find a replacement directional button for it. Or alternatively, if someone already made a 3D model of said button I could print.
In advance, thanks!
My brain still hurts for you, I hope you get your controller fixed somehow or another.
Just spit balling another idea (might be a cringe idea though) would be to Dremel a really small hole through the center of both parts and use a tiny screw to literally screw the parts back together. 🤷♂️
Again, not exactly the best idea, but with a small enough screw, very carefully drilled tiny hole, and some reinforcing glue, you might have another option there.
Seriously though, unless you're super confident in your skills and happen to have proper parts and tools, you should probably ignore my comment here.
Still, best of luck 🤞
Hope to see a post someday soon showing you got it fixed...
There already IS a hole in the bottom "half", but I’m not sure having a screw head or a nut here wouldn’t mess with the membrane under it, nor how the button is sitting. Might still try it if I don’t find any other solutions.
Indeed, if you tried that route, you'd want the screw to be about as small and short as is necessary to get the job done, even if that means cutting whatever screw you find down in length.
Always use your own common sense, and best of luck. Happy Holidays!
