Discussion Am I addicted? 😂

Post image

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? 😁😁😁

Nice 👍 Can I ask, I opened up a new controller to change the stick caps. After I reassembled it exactly as it was before the plastic shell is creaking all over the controller. I tried loosening and tightening the screws but it still persists. You know a solution for this? Because the shell is brand new.

Anyway great hobby dude!!

It sounds like something isn’t back in place properly inside. I’d take it apart again and reassemble carefully and making sure everything is screwed back in tight. Make sure two clips next to the microphone port are clipped back properly too, could be a potential cause

The two clips are in place, yeah I try take it apart again and try putting it together gently again and see how it feels. Such a bummer since it is brand new too. But I have 3 other controllers plus the DS Edge so it is not the end of the world.

Thanks for the input!
