    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.
