How often do you buy new controllers?

I don't know about you, but my hands sweat when I'm gaming. I guess I'm weird, but it seems like I'm wiping my palms every 15min or so.

It depends on how much I game, but I think I buy a new controller every 10mos-1yr. AFter a year of gaming, my "main" controller has this film over the grips.

How about you?

I'm still using the controller I got together with my xbox on launch. I take real good care of them...guthwulf_de

im getting a wireless black one for christmas:)munchlax99

otherwise im using the same one i bought in april 08!

i've never had to buy a new controller....i take good care of my thingsOfficialBed

I take good care on my stuff too.

It's just that after about a year or so, my controllers have this "film" on the grips. And I'm guessing that's from my hands sweating. The controller still works fine though. I just can't stand that film on the controller

Whats the need for a new one if you don't have anger issues and break them?xmen1414

Did you read the OP?

I need a new one, maybe the red one. My current one is fine except the analog sticks are a little loose, probably because I dropped it down a flight of stairs twice.Panzeram

i had to buy a new charge cable, because my friend's dog chewed mine up. but other than that....... i have the 2 controllers ive had since the day i bought my 360 + a wired controller that a friend bought me so we could play multi-player halo3. The only controllers i have that are worn out are for my Sega Genesis....lol

just wash the film off...or am I missing somethingfifthagent

I wish it was that easy. I think the film gets engrained into the controller, seriously.

Maybe I'm using the wrong cleaning product :?

Never... for any system.

I take care of my stuff.

I dont think its a film you have. Mine get the same sort of thing, its the plastic wearing down, you`ll notice a new one has a sort of texture to it, but it gets worn off.

I have bought 1 replacement wired controller, my first one just was not as tight; the buttons were getting dull, and sometimes I would move around without touching the stick. This was just from use.

Just because you buy a new one doesn`t mean you dont take care of your stuff, it means you use it.

I think there's an easy solution here. Just wear latex gloves when you play. You can get a box of about 50 or 100 pairs for pretty cheap, your hands won't get hot, you still have the flexibility as if you weren't wearing any gloves at all, you'll save money and all that jazz. Sure it's weird, but just make sure to wash your hands afterwards.

I have never had to buy more 360 controllers. I've bought 5 different PS2 controllers because they keep braking. (no anger issues)Not_The_Sun

Only a person with anger issues would deny it before anyone asks xD

i have no idea other than the grip on the thumbsticks wear off which gets real annoying

i got 3 controllers. 2 black and 1 white. the white one the x is stuck and the 1 black one the rb is stuck. this happens to me cause i eat when i play lol.
