I Hate Sticky Controllers!

[ZJ]

You know what pisses me off? Is when someone uses your video game controller and gets the buttons and joystick all sticky and messy. Isn't that just awful? I always make sure my hands are clean, even if I have to wash them before I play.

Does anyone else do this or am I just weird?

They were sucking on the controller pretending it was your dick.

I used to be like that, but now nobody touches my shit but me. And I'm usually pretty clean, so I don't have those problems much anymore.

it pisses me off when my friendsfuck it up

That happened with my rockband guitar! You can't play a song without it getting half the notes wrong.

Easiest solution i found was to make sure that one of your controllers is used exclusively by you. Out of my two controllers the Master (the one that came with the system) is used by me and only me, whereas the extra one i bought is used by everyone else.

Failing that a soft cloth and some wiping may be in order, your hands do sweat during long bouts of play.

Lol, that happened to me a couple of years ago, i went over to my neighbors house to play some n64, and he gave me this red, dirty controller. it was sticky on the analog stick, and had a piece of wet chicken jammed in the controller pak section. xP, and i play like one map of mario kart 'til the chicken ran down my finger, and i was like, "oh, thanks, but i think its dinner time. yeah! lates!"

If your friends don't at least wipe their hands before using your controllers then they're assholes.

If you're letting random kids you barely know use them and it happens, it's kinda your own fault.

This is exactly why I don't let people use my controllers.

Here's your game back bro.
No, it was like that when you gave it to me!

You're not alone, I hate that too.

[ShmenonPie]

It is horrible, having to deal with a sticky controller. :(

[thehulk207]

Yeah, I hate this too. My sister actually got a button to jam on my x-box 360 controller, but somehow pressing it repeatedly, it unjammed itself.

I had that problem on Gears of War. Sometimes pressing the button really hard really fast fixes it.

Apart from my TV and PS3, all the other stuff like my games and accessories were bought by me. I like looking after my stuff so I don't allow any of my stuff to get in a state.

My sister on the other hand simply can't be arsed to look after her Wii properly, which is why she loses stuff and some of her games only half work. The muppet.

Yes, I agree. I don't even know how people can stand playing with sticky hands, it just feels weird.

[Final2Legion]

not much you can do when your little brother thinks hes gangsta eating cheetos messes up the controller and gets mad because he sucks at NBA 2k10 and throws the controller against the wall

[Archawn]

I wash my hands and the controller I play with before I use them. My sister is the opposite; I think she purposely dips them in dirt before she plays.

[funkymonkey77]

Oh same here, i can't stand it. I know it sounds fussy but i have to clean it and my hands even if its just a tiny bit sticky
