      Wash all parts, excluding electrical ones, in the warm soapy water. This will remove all sticky problems with buttons. You can use a sharp knife to help clean the buttons. Do so carefully, as you don't want to cause further damage to your controller. After you wash the parts, rinse them with water and dry them with a towel and allow to air-dry. Reconnect the controller using the screwdriver. Place the batteries back in the controller and plug it in to the videogame console.
