Any advice for me to stop my 360 controller squeeking. After a while it gets really annoying, any help highly appreciated, thanks

If you're comfortable taking it apart, try it to see if you can use WD-40 to get rid of the squeak. Don't just spray it on the problem area, use a q-tip or something to put a very small amount on. Otherwise, live through it. The squeak will stop eventually, once whatever is rubbing together wears away...

My right trigger used to do that, I just don't push it as hard.

The one I swapped out had trouble reading the battery level (always showed no bars). So I swapped that one out. Then that one I spilled beer on, making the buttons sticky, so I swapped it out again. Fourth times the charm.

By swapped out you mean....? Buying one and returning the old in its place?

Yeah, pretty much. I mean I took the defective one to Wal-mart's customer service desk and said, "Gimme a new one."

Gotcha. Just clarifying.
