Prone?

Hell, they are almost designed to break. They are utterly shabby in terms of build quality.

I was one of the early adopters going back to November 2015

I am not lying when I tell you I have been through 17 of these controllers. It's the right bumper almost every time.

I have a giant handful of the dongles. I was saving them thinking they would go up in value but now like $2 knockoffs are available LOL

Edit: the first one I received, out of the box, had a broken face button membrane. The replacement I received had a non-functioning back right paddle. The replacement for that had a non-functioning R shoulder and you could hear the plastic crunching on each press. That's just the first three I received and I'm not counting those in the 17 that I destroyed in my own hands.

They were built like absolute shit. After the first run got sold and they shored-up manufacturing problems, they got marginally better but the fundamental underlying issue never was solved.

If it wasn't such a wonderful controller, I would have stomped the first one into powder and never looked back.

  • Totally fair take. What they lack in durability they more than make up for in ergonomics and control customization features.

    I've got a total of 8 of them with only 2 busted bumpers. I'd say that's not terrible considering they went through 1000+ hours of the Souls series plus Sekiro.
