In the article you warn the user:

"It's important to use WD-40 specialist contact cleaner instead of the regular WD-40. It will break the controller if you use the wrong can."

Are you referring to the "WD-40 Specialist ELECTRICAL Contact Cleaner" or just the "WD-40 Specialist Contact Cleaner?"

They're apparently two different products, with the former coming in a black/dark gray can (at twice the price) and the latter coming in the dark blue can that WD-40 has traditionally come in, and I don't want to pick up the wrong product for this.

Thanks for your time!

I feel that it being an electronic that it will use the electronic contact cleaner.

https://www.wd40.com/products/contact-cl... - The page indicates that they changed the appearance of the can, not the formulation. The two products you describe are the same one.

B and Y buttons no longer work after I used this method and fixed the stick drift.

Did not really work, didn’t even break the controller either, I should probably try again or something, also when I used the normal WD-40 it did not break anything but I am still suggesting to use the WD-40 specialist ELECTRICAL contact cleaner, have a nice day mate
