lol their was this game magazine i was reading longass time ago, not sure what kind, but they did a stress test on all kinds of video game controllers, and the only controllers that passed were the original brand controllers, they did tests like dumping them in a 55 gallon fishtank filled with sprite soda LOL. then they had this guy 250lbs step on each one of the controllers "the n64 controller cracked and broke the center bottom part off but the analog stick still worked." they stepped on a madcatz dualshock controller and the thumbsticks embedded sideways into the metal block that houses the potimeters "if i even spelled it right" and pretty much destroyed. the original sony playstation controller still worked after all the excessive abuse, a couple of buttons were sticky. but the analog sticks still kept their firmness, and everything worked just fackin dandy lol
