Bomb proof is not how I’d describe the OG steam controller. Maybe a bomb? They were not built well.

    My OG controllers 7 years of service speaks volumes against the PS4-5 longevity of 1.5 years. Dont know about the xBox as I absolutely hate non symmetrical joysticks.

  • I've had quite the oposite experience. My PS4 controller never gave me any problems for the 6ish years I had it. But the OG steam controller is the only controller I've ever broken. I like to think I treat my stuff well because I've never had any issues besides stick drift on any controller I've ever owned. But in the limited time I used a steam controller I managed to break it twice. After the second time I just got rid of it.

    Like 6 months ago I found one at a thrift store and it's rough too. I should dig it out before the new one arrives.
