/me playing platformers and yelling at my controller for fucking up realizing it's normally just me... until you find out OH HEY my B butting IS actually starting to stick. It is my fucking controller again!

Buy's his 6th controller in 6 years

Seriously the the amount of stick drift, flick reverse, and sticky buttons controllers are allowed to have nowadays is ridiculous. I've dropped decent cash on higher end pads too and they still suck. PowerA Blue wired is where it's at.

Roughly 10 years ago I bought an off-brand Xbox 360 controller, I still occasionally use it for playing Ship Of Harkinian and it works perfectly

Ha! I had an old off brand 360 controller too, and after about 10 years I tried to use it again and it was as hard as a stale loaf of bread that was left out for a week. None of the buttons moved 😂

Reminds me of the stepson who recently took apart an old MadCatz Gamecube controller. I was telling him it's probably rusted inside so don't expect too much. He opens the actual controller and the insides just disintegrated in front of him lol.

He tried to salvage it for another two hours but that thing ended up right in the garbage can.
