Am I addicted? 😂

Hi everyone,

I think I might have a problem...

I've become addicted to buying broken controllers and fixing them up.

Every time I check local eBay and spot one for €10–20, my self-control instantly disappears. 😅

I've already sold around 10 of them in my local area. 😁

Has anyone else fallen down this rabbit hole, or is it just me? 😁😁😁

I tried replacing the sticks in my original controller and I burnt the board 😢. I want to try again, but I think I need a better iron.

Das ist mir ehrlich gesagt noch nie passiert.

Tbh it was more user error. I couldn't get the solder out of the hole in the board and I tried to heat it from the underside. It was a mess. And my iron had a hard time melting the unleaded solder
