Overly sensitive buttons?

As the title suggests, my buttons, especially Start and Select act as if they are overly sensitive, and one push can be registered as several. Anyone had this issue? Or even better, a solution? This is only noticeable in menus, not a problem in gaming. I attached a short clip that shows the behaviour.

Using some rubbing alcohol or something, clean the PCB button contacts, and possibly try some different button membranes.. some have different resistances and pressures etc.. The nature in how it is programmed means that every cycle (at 60Hz) reads the buttons and sends, and doesn't send quicker than that .. so buttons making 'slight' contact for 1/60 or a sec can cause a very quick button press (and if it happens again a few 1/60 sec later it can look like a double press)
