Ok, but you do realize that even if you didn’t purchase it day 1, that the battery begins decaying from the first day it’s created right? And maybe you’re not in the US, but at least where I’m at you have to go out of your way to purchase a miniUSB cable.

Why would t it matter? Does age not matter when it comes to how an electronic is expected to perform? I don’t expect to get more than 10 years Of perfect play out of any controller. Whether it stick drift or buttons wearing out or whatever the case may be. Nothing lasts forever even in perfect conditions. Not to mention the battery is the quickest thing the degrade anyhow. How often do you even see miniUSB cables?

Didn’t the PS4 Pro controller come out 10 years ago?

Ever had to move when you were a kid? Kids have to make new friends all the time. So do adults. Being forced to make new friends because of your own mistakes is part of life. You talk about it like it’s abuse.

If your parents do that for you, you’d find a way around it. As someone with no kids, it’s something I’ve thought about, but I feel like there has to be another solution.
