Wondering if anyone has experimented with using controllers (PS/xbox/other) to do anything other than gaming ?

Actually yes.

I worked on a crew building pole barns in Colorado. For anyone unaware you basically dig a bunch of holes, set wooden columns in them and pour concrete around them, then hang the rest of the structure off those columns.

We had a dude that swore by the xbox 360 controller. We tried to get him to use a framing hammer to drive his nails but he would only use that 360 controller.

We also did a lot of acid. If you see a weird barn in Colorado, look for the microsoft logo pressed into the wood next to the siding nails.

So he literally, physically hammered the xbox controller into the nail?

He hammered the nails into the boards
