How to Un-jam Buttons Without Opening the Controller.

This tutorial will show you how to unjam buttons on controllers, remotes and etc. Today I shall demonstrate with and xbox 360 controller. This works better with plastic buttons and rubber ones take more work, but the end result is worth the half a minute this will take.
Tools:
*Controller with jammed button
*length of a straw
*scissors or a knife
EDIT:No video sorry my phone software is being silly and unresponsive.

Cut the Straw

Jam the straw between the button and the remotes housing and rotate the straw until it reaches its starting point.

Test It

Spend hours mercilessly tapping your button, purely because you can!
