Hyperkin Duke: How do I replace the anologue stick mechanism

Tue, 30 May 2023 23:15:48 -0700

I recently dropped my hyperkin duke, and now the left anologue stick won't click in, and doesn't return properly.

I have successfully taken the controller apart, and can see that the stick mechanism is broken (it looks like the rod that presses down on the button when the stick is clicked in has snapped, so now it bends up instead of clicking down)

How do I remove this mechanism and what do I replace it with

PDP Afterglow Wired Xbox 360 Controller: Afterglow glows, but doesn't work

Sun, 24 May 2020 05:18:32 -0700

Hello, I have bought an Afterglow Wired Xbox360 Controller about a month ago and plugged it to my PC with Windows 10 64-bit. It was working perfectly, glowing and rumbling, I was playing Dark Souls. Then I went with my family for about 2 weeks, and came home 2 days ago. I tried with The Witcher 3, to see how would it work with Afterglow, and worked without problems.

Today's morning I plugged my Afterglow, and it's glowing green by all LEDs, but Guide Button doesn't, and whole controller isn't working, neither with Souls nor Witcher. Windows doesn't beep when I plug or unplug it, doesn't see it at joy.cpl, Device and Printers or Device Manager, controller just glows green so he must be powered-up. I tried with USB in front and back of PC, still only glowing. Same problem with my friend's PC and Xbox 360, just glowing, not working. Could you help me?
