Game Hardware Toolkits?

Having 4 roommates sharing video game consoles can take their toll on controllers. For example, buttons on Wavebird controllers might start sticking, or the left bumper on a 360 controller might've lost its spring. These problems would be easily fixed if I could just open 'em up and tinker around, I'm sure, but they all have odd types of screws. Is there anywhere I can find gaming specific tools/toolkits?

    I haven't seen anything like that but you might want to take a few to Radioshack and check out what they have. It worked for me when I had to crack open some unusual cases to electronics.

    Yea, I think I do recall somebody saying Radioshack sometimes carried a triwing tip (is that what they call it?) screw driver. Or you can try the trick that people have used on here - you take a pen and put it over a candle and then push it into the screw and it makes your own custom screw driver. Cheers!
