Poll: The controller... it breaks

[Jodah]

Never thrown one. I've dropped a couple (about 1 foot or 2 from the ground is all) and I've had a couple PS3 controllers where the left joystick stops working or gets stuck, leading to cartoonesc cliff falling but never thrown one.

I haven't broken a controller, but I had a friend who literally snapped a Sega Genesis controller in half once.

well a controller of mine went though a wall while i was trying to beat cod 4 on the highest difficulty there was some serious rage note: i was only 9 and wasnt into games much soo understandable.

 

[Louzon]

You know what both eases stress AND doesn't cost you $40-60?

...swearing.

 

[Saelune]

Yes. 2 from anger, one from shotty make. I got that silver controller with the D-Pad that changes...and the frickin D-Pad thing broke off! And since I use it heavily...it is useless to me. (Fighting games and Menu Selection mostly)

I did throw a control once when I was pissed, but it was a gamecube controller so it was completely unharmed. Nintendo must have been planning for an apocalypse that generation because their stuff was indestructible. I've seen a GC tossed around and dragged behind a truck and then still play games.

All of my NES, N64, Wii, and Xbox360 controllers are working great still. Only my PS2 controllers are breaking down a bit, but that's because they're made of crap. The shoulder buttons on those are all screwed.

Weird... I broke my Gamecube just by sitting on it. And I am so underweight.

Define sit and underweight I can't believe you broke one by sitting on it.

 

[AWDMANOUT]

Hell no. Those things cost sixty bucks nowadays. My father taught me the value of money.

One time a guy I knew threw my controller.

I was pissed.

 

[dday4you]

most fighting games are able to enrage me enough to wanna smash my controllers, or reach the kid on the other end who is spamming bbbbbbbbb.., so yeah

 

[Pearwood]

Not from anger, I accidentally trod on my old PS2 controller wearing boots though. It still worked it just really didn't like it.

 

[GundamSentinel]

Never, all my controllers still work perfectly. They're quite difficult to break, if you ask me... I don't know what people do with them.

 

[GWarface]

Never a controller, but turned a beautiful Icemat mousepad into glassdust once..

I wasnt pleased..

 

[Broady Brio]

I recently started to play my PS2 again.

One controller's D-Pad is not functioning at all. My OTHER controller's face buttons[footnote]Square, Triangle, Circle and X.[/footnote] didn't work. Luckily, it started to work again properly.

 

[Fwee]

Only PlayStation 1 & 2 controllers. Just from use, not from rage.

I almost broke my Nintendo controllers when I was a kid (rage), but I'd take them apart and fix them.

And please: The first time you mention a game (or tv show/movie) title, use the whole thing so people know what the hell you're writing about.

I hate seeing

and have to decide whether I need to look it up or if it even matters.

Many a ps2 controller fell to the joystick lag.
Plus,when I had cats,they'd chew on the wires.
I don't have cats anymore.

Well, the analog stick on one of my GameCube controllers is a bit loose, but I don't know if that was my fault since it's been like that as long as I can remember. Then again, I have dropped it several times. Other than that all my controllers are in perfect shape.
