My main ps3 controller was getting greasy so I just took some paper towel and windex and cleaned it off. It feels so much better now.

I hate the feeling windex leaves on controllers so I always windex then use some water to get any windex residue off.

Now THAT feels better.

My windex doesn't leave a residue. It's a mix and it's super strong. I also do it like I'm cleaning glass and get it super dry and streak free.

Bought a Nerf Maverick just for the heck of it and I'm having so much fun with it.

If it is windex, it has dye and perfume in it. That means there is a residue.

I think Hobie has Windex-radar. :lol:

But yeah... don't use Windex on electronic products. You know what Windex was designed for? Glass.

Either dampen a sponge or paper towel and maybe the slightest touch of dish soap, followed by another go without soap, or electrical contact cleaner and a paper towel if there sticky residue. I know it is for contacts, but it cleans everything and it completely evaporates.

I make my own Windex, which works really well for me. I mix ammonia with rubbing alcohol, then dilute it with water. Then I dye it blue so it'll look nice.
