PLEASE help me with my Pro Controller!

[kiwi-strawberry]

Somehow it managed to get dog hair under both joysticks and i can't get it out?? I don't have compressed air or anything how do I get it out it's driving me MAD!!! Any suggestions are greatly appreciated

Do you perchance have any tweezers you could pull it out with, if it's exposed enough to pull out? If not how exactly is it stuck in there (pictures might help if applicable)?

At this point you might as well open the controller up but since the Switch pro controller has the screws covered up by a plastic plate idk how you're supposed to do that.

Like Lars said, your best bet is to open up the controller to ensure it is completely cleaned out. I definitely recommend watching videos on Youtube and ensuring that you have the right tools on-hand before attempting it though especially since it is a expensive controller afterall (since I assume you are talking about the Switch pro controller)!

See, after my Joy-Cons started having a drift problem, I started sheltering my Pro Controller and new Joy-Cons from dust by placing them in a case when not in use. Now, when you play, it's a different story, but if you want to make your life slightly easier, just place it in the box and Styrofoam bag it originally came in, or just place it somewhere or in something where you know dog hair won't reach it. Glad to hear your problem was solved!

Ahhh a large dog with medium to long hair/fur. . .my dog is short n stout so I just keep tissues/paper towels, tape, and a lint roller handy so the hair sticks to it (if it's not easily removed). Then I can toss the tape/lint & hair covered sticky sheets away haha.

Yours is a good doge and won't chew up your controller yeah? Not sure if your dog is old like mine and doesn't care to chew things anymore like when she was a pupper.

I also agree with Matt0106. I keep my pro controller stored in a toiletry/makeup bag though since it's also my travel case too.

this is a good idea, i've been putting it in my switch case and it seems to work, although it's small so it doesn't completely protect the controller. thanks for the advice!
