I would be willing to buy the entire controller off of you. But would like to have a plastic "clip" instead of more stuff I have no space for sitting there.

It's one of the plastic "clips" or "springs" though they really aren't, that kinda cross the bottom view of the joystick part of the controller. They make it spring back.

The part you are referring to has to be the part that one of the clips pops into. The only thing white that I have seen inside the controller is those "white things" you referred to. :]

Lemme know what you would like to do. Drop me an e-mail sometime, as I am willing to buy also.

Thanks, man!

Bill

i get what your talkin about. you mean the black plastic centering bars that hold the metal joystick in place in the bottom of the controller. they are connected to the spin clips i was talkin about. ill try to figure out how to remove them when i get some time in the near future.

That's it! :]

If you should decide to tear down a controller that's crapped out and are looking to sell/trade/ect. one of those clips, please drop me an e-mail or put up a response here.

Thanks, man. Hopefully, something can be worked out.

Bill Suszynski :]
