I seem to always submit new constructable only when there's a contest lol.

I got my free sample pack of sugru and I just could not wait to figure out how I could use and and boy was I surprised.

this is pretty much straight forward, I got an nes controllers a while back in a deal and it was pretty beaten up so I left it in the corner for a while, then I got another nes controller I had to give to some one but the start button was cut off. so thinking quick I removed the start / select buttons from it and put it into the beat up controller thus making it useless.

this will also work on the snes controller and be as easy to fix as the nes controller, you can also fix the gameboy, ps1 and ps2 controller but that is a lil harder to open

A single hack pack of sugru, your color of choice I only had green on hand, I used just one pack for this entire instructable + another 2 that will be up loaded soon.

A cut up select or start button, in my case it was an nes controller.

you may also need something flat to help shape the sugru and something textured like sand paper just to ad texture to the sugru.
