Does anyone know where I can find replacements for the little rubber
pads that sit beneath the dpad and buttons?

I'd like to extend the life of my original controllers.

thx

Open up your pad, clean it out completely, use Isopropyl alcohol for
the pads and on the PCB connector. I have cleaned about 30 and
everyone except 1 worked perfect afterwards. If they still don't work,
get some double-sided tape, aluminum foil, and a paper punch. Put the
tape on the aluminum foil, paper punch, apply on cleaned pads.

After years of use, they loose their conductivity, you can use double
stick tape, put it on Aluminum foil, paper punch out circles, and
apply them to the disks inside the controller. Make sure it is very
good double stick tape. You can also use certain glue.
