Out of curiosity how long did those controllers last? I know my original SNES pads still work fairly well, and we tortured the poor things as little kids(think 4 or 5 years old.. and imagine how the pads must feel).
They lasted about 5 years or more...I think. Nintendo builds a strong product. Because I only threw the control at the console it didn't really break it or anything else. It isn't like some people who some how go through a few controllers a year. The only thing I can think of that could be done for that to happen is people jumping on the controller or taking a sledge to it.
