That's funny. I had the same problem with a brand new ps3 controller one time. The only thing that got rid of it was to keep using it. Some of my buttons would stick and junk like that. It was really frustrating, but it goes away quite quick. If you're in a huge rush you could use a damp q-tip(not soaking wet, just damp) and rub it around the edges of the buttons giving you problems. That kinda helps. Hope that works, bud. Best'a luck

Ps- what color was the controller? The one that kept doing it to me was white.

I wouldn't do that! Wd-40 would probably gunk up your controller! Some water will do just fine. Like I said, damp q-tip and wipe the areas that are sticking.
 
Yea nothing abrasive definitely no petroleum products. Usually as you play your hands will sweat and the oil from that will loosen up some buttons, You can hurry the possess along with a bit of vegetable oil though.
 
yea i came to the conclusion that its my sweat that screw the pad, sooo i might clean it up, i was thinking on open the controller cuz i try using compresed air to clean it up but it doesnt work
 
i open the controlller and i discover that i dont have a T form piece that goes with the d-pad, im guessing that that piece is the reason why i got sticky d-pad, do you any of you guys know something about it??
