If everyone looks in the little slits on the sides of their controlers and by the left and right triggers you might find alot of . . . gunk . . . my question is what is the best way to clean it out?

The best way to clean it out is get a bunch of tooth picks, a peice of paper and a rag.

Basically use the tooth picks to scrape it out on to the paper and use the rag to clean off the toothpick and whipe down the controller.

i took mine apart and used greased lightening on the plastic innards. and replaced the controller face with a metallic psychedellic blue with purple splotches when viewed in the light. voids any warranty but i never break controllers and never needed a warranty with them.

i did this with guitar hero controller also
