Is it just me ...am I the only one that can't get the stuff to stick?
My drivers always fall off. The Velcro that they supply does not stick!

Why didn't they create the new drivers with a key hole or eye hole so they can be screwed to the wall. I screw my wall Velcro to the wall so it doesn't fall off, but the glue on the Velcro on the driver falls off.

Just me?

I had the same problem at one point. I cleaned the area with some alcohol let it dry thoroughly and then suck the Velcro on without the controller for 24 hrs. Didn't have a problem again.

I had same issue...I ended up putting a dab of superglue to the backing and it finally kept it held down.

I use the 3M Command version of velcro for all my controllers - think they just call it Picture Hanging Strips. The two prices lock very solid together opposed to softer velcro.

The Velcro sticks to itself, it's just the glue on the back of the Velcro doesn't stick to the driver.
