It’s been at least a decade since I last touched my PlayStation 1 and I’m pretty sure the controller has only been surface cleaned a handful of times. I disassembled the controller completely and washed the buttons and shell in soap and water. I was also surprised to see this one was made in Japan.

Deep cleaned the console too. Just a few dust bunnies.

Look at that dirt and crud
I had that same controller. Brings me back to my childhood
I can hear the startup in my head
Looks great! Have you done this before? I would be terrified to mess it up. In fact, I guarantee I would
Haha I gave mine a refresh with UV lights & hydrogen peroxide last year
