I don't think that is normal andoni... I have 2 gamepads (PS3), for over a year, the buttons are worn (and triggers), sticks seem ok, a bit loser than new, but both gamepads are useable with no problem and I would say will last me the whole of this year.

These gamepads have been used a lot.. Although I don't use the right stick to stick serve.... But your problem is with the left stick?

Ive broken 4 controllers in a year :shock:

Always the left stick, the rubber always comes off, and we know that can lead to 'accidents' :shock:

Yes, the problem is the left stick. one was taken off the coating. and the other has broken the circular base. I have to admit that I play so passionate, but maybe too much!!

You have multiple broken ps3 controllers now right? If your left stick is broken on one of them i would try to fix it by replacing one right stick from a broken controller to a left stick of another broken controller. That way you have 1 working controller.

My sticks went on my sixaxis. Kept sticking, on my dualshock 3 the right one is starting to go but is fine for now. controllers are expensive!

Thanks a lot :wink:

I didn't dare to do it but today i opened my 2 broken cotrollers. I changed the sticks and now at least i have one decent controller. The amazon's rubbers seem great. Thanks for the link

anyone else use the d-pad? :wink:

Are you throwing these controllers in a blind rage, often???

That might explain why they're broken.

I have also found out, that bashing the controller can cause severe damage to the controller :wink:
