  1. I was in the same boat looking for belts but didn't have time to wait, I didn't want to LOL. I went to dollar tree and bought the little rubber bands for girls hair. They seemed small but I figured I'd try and it worked LOL, They seem pretty thin so I put three on there and it works great. Probably wont last long but for $1 for 500 I cant complain!!!!

  2. The original Xbox controllers were/are far better than the Sony Dualshocks in this respect. I've had probably four or five Dualshock or Dualshock 2 rendered unusable because of contact pad wear and tear. Quite literally the latter - the rubberised pimple would actually split around its edge, particularly the Square and X buttons which get the most use. Only way to deal with it was/is to replace the pad.

  3. Also i added a bit of metalic foil on the rubber. That way the A button is easier to press.

  4. I've always recommended not to use isopropyl alcohol (IPA)/rubbing alcohol for a lot of cleaning purposes, particularly plastics. I did a bit of research on this a few years ago along with recommendations for lubricating plastic components too. The bottom line is you have to be careful what you use for either purpose. I'd question the need to clean controller button contact pads at all. The soft rubberized material may be real or synthetic rubber but in either case I wouldn't use any volatile cleaning agents as they might affect its material properties which are essential to its correcting functioning. As for the electrically conductive coating - I wouldn't touch it. Physical abrasion or some adverse chemical reaction could cause damage. With circuit boards 99% IPA is apparently safe for cleaning purposes and used by manufacturers too because it evaporates quickly. Rubbing alcohol which is usually about 70% IPA is said to be OK but it has other ingredients including water which may make it not as electronics friendly. Some sources suggest it can be used to disinfect electrical appliances - although from what they don't say and as 99% IPA is going to be more effective one wonders why diluted IPA is being recommended even for that.
