This happens with all of the 8x batteries after a while. Just like most rechargeable batteries, they technically should be taken off the charger once they are fully charged, and not charged again until they are low. Keeping them on a constant charge causes the swelling issue.

I've been away from home this weekend but should be able to take a look
tomorrow or Tuesday and I'll report back. It sounds like if it is a
battery problem that it will stop being stiff after taking out the
battery? This controller has both an internal battery and the external
extended battery so I guess I need to remove both.
Does anybody have a link where I can read more about this "swollen" battery
issue? Is that common from all batteries or just the cheap generic ones
sold through ebay?

That's all I've ever seen it affect too, but it was worth looking into.
It really sounds like the contacts or circuit board are dirty, since they
work
for a while before getting "stuck" again.

I thought the swollen battery only affected the 4 buttons across the

I took the battery out of mine and Velcro'd it to the base,
essentially making it a tabletop model. J
Shoot, sorry. Didn't read the original post closely enough. Yes, you are
right. At least, that's all I've ever seen it affect.
