Analog Sticks are hard to click

Post by xVertigo »

I bought a new controller for my XBox and when I go to play Halo and have to click in the analog stick to crouch or zoom, it's hard as hell to push. Is there anyway I can loosen them up so it's easier to push down?

Yeah, I was watching the MLG VOD last night (Halo 2 Tournament) and the whole time I sat there annoying myself to death clicking them, so hopefully another night of that will help. If not, I might crack it open and see if there's anything I may have to shave down.

Well it's brand new, out the package. And the joysticks and everything were full covered in it's packaging, so I'm unsure as of right now. But as Turbo said, I just need to click them. From playing the bit I did today they seem to be a bit looser.
