How to Clean Xbox Joysticks

Many hours of continued use can cause most Xbox controllers to stick and collect oil and dirt from a gamer's fingers. It interrupts game play when the controller and joystick stop responding, leaving a gamer frustrated. Cleaning your joystick and the rest of the controller is a quick task using items you most likely already have in your home, and will return your joystick and controller to perfect working condition.
