The Y button on my EX2 broke a few weeks ago. I’ve tested this in Street Fighter 4’s training mode with input data turned on. Basically, it sometimes wouldn’t register when I press it, or when I hold the button down, about 3 inputs come out (HP, HP, HP).
Then somehow, about a week or two later, it fixed itself started working properly.
Now, my A button has the same problem. Is it a problem with the PCB or with the buttons?
Do you have a link to a guide for this?
Mine recently died. Actually, the problem it is having is that I can’t turn the 360 on with it. When I start the game and leave it at the menu I can usually get it to turn on.
I have to take the back panel off and mess with the magnet the wire is wrapped around. I think it’s a magnet but usually adjusting the wire around gets it to work. It works perfectly after that.
It’s a cheap fix really, $20-$25 and maybe even less depending where I decide to buy a used wired matcatz controller and solder it up.
Amazingly, Twinniss has all the links I were to give you all in this!

Laugh.
Good stuff Twinniss.
I don’t see a guide to modding a 360 pad?
Padhacking thread, man.
So just to post in an existing thread… I’m a total noob when it comes to doing anything with sticks… I have an ex2 and one of the buttons is becoming less responsive… I have to push it hard to get it to register. What could be the cause of this, and how would i fix it? Thanks.
I own a Hori EX2 and i think it is a decent stick (even better when modded). Recently i noticed one of my buttons was feeling strange(B button felt loose?). I have come to a conclusion as to why the buttons might give out. The internal PCB has contacts that are a bit thin. Honestly i like to mash buttons for shoot em up’ arcade games. After considerable heavy uses, the button contact on the pcb might become loose and may even detach (off the board) due to the vibrations of pressing the buttons hard. This can result in a button not responding. This would be the case if buttons A or B give out first. For the rest of the buttons the same can apply or the wires connecting the sister pcb board become loose due to hard button presses. This may also explain the tabs holding the stock buttons in place (they keep the button itself stationary, as any movement/rotation can weaken the solder connection on the pcb).
When modding the EX2 be careful how you remove the solder from the stock PCB as the contacts can lift off easily and end up in weak connections, resulting in problems down the line. Forgive me if i could not put my theory a bit clearer but i hope this sheds some light on this subject.
