How do I get this shit working, the right button on my genesis controller doesnt work anymore. I rubbed it with alcohol and shit and cleaned the whole controller. Is it just fucked? I wouldnt care so much but no place in town has any genesis controllers and Id rather not order one.

>>2877278
Man I just said I'd rather not order one, I'll buy a new one if I cant get it to work. Thanks for nothing fag
>>
>>2877284

go fuck yourself idiot, maybe if you werent too busy buying bullshit razr gear you would be able to afford a new controller, but you aren't and instead are making yourself look really stupid

A lot of the time, it is more satisfying to fix things yourself instead of shelling out the money to buy a new thing.

push the button harder, fag.

>>2877271
That's a cheap aftermarket controller from the looks of it.
Try cleaning the rubber pad that makes contact with the board.
Rubbing alcohol or soap and water, just make sure the black contact pads are clean and not shiny.

What exactly makes a keyboard better than another keyboard other than size and key layout?

your fault for using a shitty third party controller.

And chances are that the only problem is that the cable is broken. Replacing it would look shitty and probably cost as much as a new pad in replacement parts (female db9 connector + 8 pin grounded cable with ground sheath).

You'll have to buy another one.

>>2877271
Add a very thin sheet of paper between the button and the rubber to see if it was something simple like this
>>
>>2877271
Just take a pencil eraser and gently rub the unresponsive button for a bit. If that doesn't work you're fucked.
>>
>>2877298

Plug it in, test the button by touching the contacts for that button with something conductive like foil.

If it works then, your problem is with the rubber contact. The graphite may have worn off, rendering it non-conductive. You could add some more graphite with a pencil or glue a bit of foil to the conductive pad. Either way it's probably a temporary fix.

this is probably more /g/ but, some keyboards are much nicer to type on than others.

gamer keyboards, in my experience, usually have pretty shitty dome switches (I'm not saying dome switches are entirely out as there are many decent dome switch keyboards, but usually mechanical is best) yet cost a whole fucking lot and the only really good thing they have going for them is having a lot of rollover.

There's only a finite amount of retro hardware in the world. We need to preserve the genuine stuff as long as we can.

Yo.
Late to this thread but maybe someone will read this and find it useful.

After you've done the obvious things like cleaning the board and the bumper pad you can try heating up the board a bit with a blow dryer. If it works while it is warm and stops when it cools off then it means there is a fracture in the board someplace that is closed back up by the expanding parts while warm. You might be able to find the bad line with some kind of sciencey shit like a multimeter and then bypass/bridge it with a tiny bit of wire or solder.

Just a thought. I'm no expert.

>>2877290
Fuck off, he's asking for help and you're just polluting this board with more shitposts. He said he'll fucking buy a new one if he can't fix his own. No point in spending money if you don't have to.


In response to OP, check that the rubber pad that the button pushes isn't damaged or dirty if you haven't already.

Dry your eyes my young knight. His mommy will buy him a new one.
