EasySMX X15 Buttons Activating Without Input

•  Inspect the surface of the controller around the buttons. Look for visible debris such as dust, crumbs, or dirt.
• Use a small brush, cotton swab, or compressed air to clean around the edges of the buttons.
• Press the buttons several times to check if the cleaning improved their responsiveness.
• If the buttons are still sticking, proceed to further cleaning.
• Deep Clean with Isopropyl Alcohol
• Power off and disconnect the controller.
• Dampen a cotton swab with isopropyl alcohol (90% or higher).
• Carefully clean the edges and gaps around the sticking buttons. The alcohol will help dissolve grime or sticky residue.
• Press the buttons repeatedly while cleaning to help work the alcohol into the button mechanism.
• Allow the controller to air dry for a few minutes and test the buttons.

If surface cleaning doesn’t resolve the issue, you may need to open the controller for a deeper cleaning.

• Once the controller is open, remove the button assembly.
• Clean the internal parts around the buttons with a cotton swab dipped in isopropyl alcohol.
• Inspect the rubber membranes under the buttons for wear or damage. If damaged, these may need to be replaced.
• Clean the button faces and the contact pads on the controller board to ensure smooth movement.
• Reassemble the controller and test the buttons.

• If the controller has been exposed to liquid, there may be sticky residue inside causing the buttons to stick.
• Open the controller and carefully clean any dried or sticky residue with isopropyl alcohol.
• Ensure all areas are thoroughly dried before reassembling the controller.
• Once reassembled, test the buttons to see if the issue is resolved.

• If buttons still stick after cleaning, check that the buttons are properly aligned within their slots.
• Inspect the plastic housing and button caps for any warping or wear.
• If the rubber button pads (membranes) beneath the buttons are worn out, they may need to be replaced.
• Replace the D-pad buttons using this guide, or the A,B,X,Y Buttons using this guide, and test the buttons.
