Hey what kind of torx screw drivers do you have because i cannot remove the screws in my 360 controller because there is a pin right in the middle of all the screws. I have all the right sizes but did they use a special kind of torx if so please tell me where to get some or an alternative way to clean my buttons because there is some build up of gunk on the start button and its really a pain trying to push start

You can get one off of amazon for about $4. But make sure to type in "torx t-8 security screwdriver" when you do. Happy painting!

You'll need a Torx T-8 screwdriver, but a very small (in the toolbox I got mine from, this size was labeled with a "2", I don't know if this means anything to you) flat head screwdriver will work, but you may damage a screwhead if you use these (it's only happened to me once). Bear in mind a flat head screwdriver will flatten or break the middle pin.

You can buy a Torx T-8 on eBay for quite cheap.
