Nomrombom Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I've never broken a controller and I've had the one I have right now for 2 or 3 years. What about you guys? Do you break yours? Favorite replacement, recommendations? /general controller thread. PM me for fitocracy invite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sprint Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 My only controllers that have broken are my SNES controllers, and they just wore down over time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimberly Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Madcatz controllers are decent 3rd party ones that are generally the cheapest usb controllers that you can also use on the PC. But if you don't have a need to play via controller on pc, then don't go 3rd party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ieyfura Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I'm currently on my 4th controller for my ps3. (My first controller got a good 4 years out of it). But too much Ninja Gaiden really wears on your controller. And the next 2 I bought had issues right out of the box. So here I am on my 4th, and it's running smoothly. Been Ninjaing on it for a few months now. "Don't get in my face, don't invade my space. I'll put you in your place.I'll only tell you once, I'll never tell you twice.

Sbrideau Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I have 2 controllers for my Xbox360. Never broke them, but the one I always use is 3 years old and is pretty much worn out, almost no rubber left and buttons sometimes not responding. Probably will have to replace it soon.

Alg Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Madcatz controllers are decent 3rd party ones that are generally the cheapest usb controllers that you can also use on the PC. Must look into this... Keyboard is nice and all but it just doesn't work for some games :razz: Only controller I've come remotely close to breaking is a gamecube controller. The padding on top of the stick (I can't remember its actual name at the moment) ripped, and I broke it a bit more with every loading screen until it came off. It still works perfectly, it's just a bit more uncomfortable. I painted some stuff and put it on tumblr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works perfectly, used it to play F:NV on PC (for godmode <3) PM me for fitocracy invite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevepole Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I think one of my Wii remotes is broken, tried using it a few months back and it wouldn't turn on. I don't play my Wii enough to really care but I don't look forward to replacing it. In my time of owning a 360 from day one to about two years ago, I think I've only experienced one bad remote, and I don't even think it was mine, I think it was my roommate's at the time.

RpgGamer Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I've never broken a controller, and generally I just get the brand model standard issue stuff. Best design for a controller to me is the PS2 controller. Meaty, weighted, responsive, and fit great in my hands. And I'm a fan of the symmetry.

nine naked men Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 The only type of controller I've broken. [bleep]in' Mario Party. The original massive Xbox controllers were probably my favourite, since they were a pretty good size for my hands. sleep like dead men wake up like dead men Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm a fan of the symmetry.Talking about design, it's the controller design that made me go with the 360. It's big enough for my fingers and well rounded and fat, which fits better with my larger hands. To me the PS3 controller is too small and uncomfortable. It's the reason I went with the 360 instead of the PS3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimberly Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 360 controller > Playstation controller. The PS controller feels like a cheap plastic toy. I can get behind this. When the Dreamcast came out, I fell in love with the design. It wasn't perfect, but it was better than the Playstation's at the time. And the Playstation was all I was ever exposed to. When I was able to snag an xbox for 150$ less than the going rate at the time, I fell in love with the 360 design. It's hard to go back to how tiny the PS controllers are.

Albel Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 After years useing a 360 controller, going to a ps3 was very hard. However I quickly got used to it and everything else feel foreign.

RpgGamer Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I went from PS2 to 360, then my 360 broke [not the controller, the actual console] and then I bought myself a PS3. The PS3 controller I agree is way to flimsy feeling. And the L2/R2 buttons are WAY too sensitive. I hate throwing grenades because I rested my controller on my knee for half a second. But I like the feel of the Sony design better than I did the Xbox. The symmetry in the analog sticks mostly. And I prefer the L1, L2 shoulder to the Bumper/Trigger set up. It just fits my fingers better. Quote Quote Anyone who likes tacos is incapable of logic. Anyone who likes logic is incapable of tacos.

Demoli Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I think in overall terms on quality, the 360 controller is the best one. I really enjoy GC controller for adventure games though. As for breaking, I only really broke one, a classic controller for the wii while playing Super Ghouls and Ghosts, friggin stomach level on the second quest really ground my gears.

mcneilp Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 On my 3rd 360 controller in however many years. Prefer wired myself, after having issues with a couple of wireless ones. Can also use it for my computer as well which is good. As for the PS3/360, I do prefer the 360 controller. The way the sticks are laid out (one higher than the other, as opposed to the PS3's side by side) feels better to me.

It still works perfectly, it's just a bit more uncomfortable.My kids left their GameCube controllers on the floor one day and our puppy thought that padded stick would be good to chew on. :lol: It still works, but no one uses that controller much anymore. Check out my blog to read the Adventures of a Big Damn (F2P) Hero. THE place for all free players to connect, hang out and talk about how awesome it is to be F2P. So, Kaida is the real version of every fictional science-badass? That explains a lot, actually... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
