I ordered a 3D multi controller from Japan (HSS-0137) and before testing it out I tried cleaning it up. Then while playing a game I noticed the d-pad is sticking. Like it will hold left or right or up instead of springing back to the center. So I opened it up to see what the problem is and saw that the little plus-shaped bar of plastic that holds the rubber pad in for the d-pad was broken off. I shook the controller around to see if I could find it in there but couldn't. I may have broken it while trying to clean out some gunk that was around the d-pad on the outside.
Anyway, I glued a piece of plastic from something else there and then put the rubber pad back into place and screwed it back together... thought it'd work fine. It felt tight at first, but then the same problem occurs.
So any ideas how to fix this? Just wondering why it is doing that.
I have opened up and cleaned other Sega pads before (Genesis and Saturn) without breaking anything So it may have actually had the sticky problem when it arrived from Japan. I got it awfully cheap.

Ah, I figured out what it was: those ribbon cables inside were folded wrong and were keeping the case from closing together tightly. Must have been opened up before.
