How to Fix a Pelican Xbox Controller

The Pelican Xbox 360 controller is a third-party-developed accessory for the Xbox 360 console system. The controller is made from cheaper materials, so the cost of the controller is cheaper than standard Microsoft-manufactured equipment; however, the controller is also much more prone to malfunction. Symptoms can include sticky buttons, lack of wireless signal or connectivity issues, and the controller not functioning. Fortunately, troubleshooting a Pelican Xbox 360 controller is exactly the same as troubleshooting a standard Microsoft Xbox 360 controller.
