xbox 360 controller - allen wrench screws?

the bottom part of the controller (the grey bit) has popped out a bit on the left side. I am trying to push it back in so as to not be uncomfortable to the left hand. I have a bunch of allen wrenches but none of them seem to fit those tiny little screws in the contorller. they look like allen wrench type screws to me.
anyone know what they are?

Not a clue mate. If you call up Xbox Support, you should be able to get a new one sent through to you for free. So far I've had a couple of the wireless controllers' battery packs loosen up and got replacements sent back free of charge.
Give them a call and see what they can do as I'm sure it's a specialist tool used to repair all of the equipment, much like you have for other electronic equipment and cars.

it might be a star wrench that has 5 sides or something.

they're a specialty screw, it's like a 5 pointed star bit but there's also a little spike in the dead center so you can't get a normal star bit in there. if you check some hardware stores some of them sell different kits containing various specialty screw driver bits for things such as this but it's not guranteed that you'll find what you need in the right size.

Use a Torx 10 screwdriver. If you want to even so much as ake the case off of anything on your xbox or 360 you'll need one of these
