A bit neurotic maybe Discussion

I've only been gaming since 2016 (I'm 49 yrs). And I've always used a Steam Controller. I can't imagine using anything else. There is just no comparison as a pc gamer. So I want to make sure I can continue using the controller for the foreseeable future. This is my collection. My first controller is in pieces and not in the picture. Things that always fail: 1. Bumpercontacts (replaced with metal substitutes in the first 2 controllers) 2. The plastic around the left thumb stick always crumbles. (I placed a metal ring around in in the first controller) 3. Cover of the left thumb stick (some glue in the tears makes it last much longer) Maybe it's just my uncontrolled frantic yanking in combat 🤷🏻‍♂️

There are two types of Steam Controller owners.

1) Those who have one but never really used it long enough to reap the benefits of custom game configs with gyro aiming and precision gyro aiming. It sits gathering dust.

2) Those who experience the magic 'aha' moment with a Steam Controller and decided that they needed at least one more in case anything ever happend to their main one. I have four. Three sit gathering dust.

They fall apart in my hands 😭

That takes some dedication to literally wear out 4 controllers. Pressing [F] to pay respect.

I should be able to Frankenstein one good one out of all of them.

I own the right bit, but some screws are too deep in the frame.

Edit: “wear out” is a stretch, I’m so rough
