Does anyone have any tips for removing color from an analog stick?

That rhymed.

Anyway, a friend of mine decided he'd play the Wii with ridiculously greasy hands, and now my analog sticks and D-Pad on my controller are bright orange, like orange juice. :( It's quite disgusting. So, I'd like to remove this grease-dye from my controller. Do any of you guys have tips on how to do this?

If you take the controller apart so you don't damage the electronic components, have you tried rubbing alcohol?

I haven't tried that yet. I'll try it. :D Thanks.

If that doesn't work, another suggestion is Goo Gone (http://www.magicamerican.com/googone/product/c7f8659a-40a3-412c-9f1c-03108e6a30db.aspx). That stuff works wonders. I had chain grease all over some bike tools a month ago and after using some Goo Gone the things were shiny clean! :thumb:

Beat your friend over the head with the gummed-up controller and make him buy you a new one.

Everybody needs to learn how and how not to treat electronic equipment.

try a orange/citrus cleaner that usually works on grease

Goop Multi-Purpose Hand Cleaner (http://www.goophandcleaner.com/)

My dad used that whenever he'd get disgustingly greasy hands.

And yes, it comes in Orange.
