jk40001 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 These can not be disassembled. Does anyone figured out how to clean them? Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilsaluki Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 If it was built, it can be disassembled.But, don't ask me how. I am sure new micros can be had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 If you replace them, buy low current switches (<500mA). High current switches work at first but oxidize if the contact doesn't arc. Low current switches are generally gold alloy plated and last much longer. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_The Doctor__ Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 you can put on a pair of gloves and blast electrical contact cleaner into the cracks and openings and around contact switch nub/nipple... just flood them and click the crap out of them,,, shake the crap out of em ... let them dry a bit and play lots of games.... has worked on my epyx and kraft micro switched joysticks time and time again...
