Miadore Classic N64 Controller Buttons Not Responsive

Sometimes, the controller may not be plugged into the USB slot all the way, so try unplugging and plugging back in the controller into its corresponding slot.

USB ports can be damaged over time, so:

• Use a light to inspect the port(s) for any damage.
• If one port doesn't function, try the other ports.

The inside of the controller can contain dirt, and gunk could stop how the buttons work. Use the Button Replacement guide to open up the controller and access the buttons. Use a cotton swap and isopropyl alcohol to clean the area. Be sure that the buttons and inside of the device are dry before reassembly.

Rubber button pads inside the controller must align with little holes to function. Check if they are aligned. If not, reset them so they are aligned with the buttons.

Follow the Button Replacement guide to replace the buttons of your controller.

If all other fixes fail, then it’s likely that the motherboard in the controller has stopped functioning and will need to be replaced.
