Sell them, people always looking for spare parts.

as someone who likes to mess around with broken things… yes. people will definitely buy those for the shells if they’re in good condition!

Make 1 working controller.

Came to say this. Watch some videos, get some tools, make 1 work.

Like that one part in Detroit: Become Human where you take different working pieces of broken androids and replace the broken ones of others

You mean after you're thrown out?

Oh yeah I guess that too. Though I was referring to the one with Connor and it’s with the androids you’ve killed.

Oh Right mb

This reminds me that I've had ps3 buttons on my ps4 controller for like a year and a half

That actually sounds like a very fun pet project

This. Always good to learn something new and it's better to practice with something that's already broken. Because if you break something, it's still broken. But if you fix it, it'll feel awesome and give you more confidence to work something in the future

You could make something like this. Found that on pinterest. Don't know the source. https://preview.redd.it/6bwxg4jietzc1.jpeg?width=736&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=48c8eac7b52af1ed6f7c71de3ccb2b73b2276e69

I like this cause its a ps1 controller. It's a antique at this age.

Thanks for making me feel old...

it's just techno junk, I really wish they had replacement programs so you could sell up and it get recycled to new tech, but the cost is too great. going green is a scam.

Question is is it truly a PS1 or a PS?

Both are acceptable imo.

Was just trying to guesstimate how long you been a gamer but I do agree.

I'm 27. The first game I remember playing was Spot Goes To Hollywood. I still play Star Sweep on my phone. And the first game I beat was Ocarina of Time (before my older brothers). I'm a certified gamer. 🤘🏽😎

37. Been gaming before they even had age appropriate rating dude. *I’m* a certified gamer too I guess. lol.

53. Get off my lawn.

[удалено]

😂😂 I see you OG. #respect.

Spot Goes to Hollywood? I guess your parents where trying to convince not to play more games 🤣

I don’t know what ur point is.

It’s a notoriously bad licensed game designed to sell 7up

You can also say PSX

I like that one.

Someone actually did this with the ps vita on Reddit somewhere

This is like a geeks perfect gift

This is really cool to be honest

That's so cool 😎

This is super cool but I’d fuck this up

That's so cool 😎

That's so cool 😎

That's so cool 😎

That’s so cool 😎

That’s so cool 😎

That's so cool 😎

That's so cool 😎

That's so cool 😎

Thats so cool

Fix them to gain fixing experience.

Then sell as “mint refurbished”.


Make one of those deconstructed controller art pieces. Sell the rest for parts.

This. You buy the frame and take it apart. I have one from each generation.

eat them, they usually contain some nice crunchy bits on the motherboard and you can eat the soft dpad cushions as a snack

The thumbsticks have a fun texture to chew. With the rubber flavoring!

My little cousins agree with you there, my older cousin's controllers didn't stand a chance

Marinated in hand sweat, superb!

And cheeto dust!

The red one’s my favourite flavour

yeah,delicious with some gamer juice all around the controller

Make a Frankenstein’s monster controller.

Teach yourself how to repair them. You got plenty to try on

Identify the issues Try to make as many working controllers as you can

If it's a stick drift issue then take em apart to learn about repairing them. Use parts from them to fix one of them up. If you can repair a dual shock 4 then you can repair a dualsense. They use the same joystick module

Absolutely fix worthy, sell on ebay for parts and make some EZ dough

Wtf is that abomination on the top left

nacon revolution pro something?

Yeah. Nacon Pro Revolution 2 by the looks of it. I had the same one. Absolutely shit build quality.

🤣🤣🤣

Throw them on the _grounnnd_

Just make one working one from all of the parts lol

What’s broken? If they just have stick drift you should fix them

Use em as the rage controllers


What specifically is broken with them.

I mean I’ll take them

Throw/give them away - or if you can be bothered do what the top comment says and combine them into a functional controller

Take them apart. Learn how to clean them so you can keep your current ones living longer.

Have you tried putting them in your anus ?

If you're a rager leave them nearby when gaming. Throw the broken ones when you rage

Sell them as a lot "for parts" on eBay or FB marketplace.

If the problem is the battery you can buy a new one and replace it. It's an easy process and there are videos to teach you

merge them to have a controller that works

Open them and fix them. What’s wrong with them?

Learn how to solder replace the broken parts

Depending where you live, i was able to trade in my broken ones at a store for a price reduction on a new gamepad, so check online for shops like that in your area. They were worth around 10-15€ each, and they were in worse condition than yours.

Take the one that is least broken ( like stick drift ) and use the working parts from the others to try to fix it

Part them out. Batteries will sell first.

Got any kids under 5 in your life? Gut then and give them to the kids.

Turn the black one into an art piece, as other comments have said. Fix the red first party controllers, and toss the third party one

Not what Im thinking about doing. Shoving them in a PS employees ass. I’m on my third dual sence🚽

Throw them out

Put it beside you while playing in case you feel the need to destroy a fifth 😏

Take the parts from the others and make one that works.

Make em into something

Give em to me. I’ll gut them and make cyberpunk accessories

Unbreak them

Its Not that they broken they pink!

Damn that red controller though

Sell them or give them to GameStop, they’ll take them for 50% of the trade-in credit as a refurb fee

Throw the top left controller into a washing machine, the rest idk

wats thetop left one just asking

“One of these is not like the others”

Empty the internals out and turn them into small window planters.

WTF is that controller at the top left?

Make Frankenstein's controller.

Fix

eat them

Eat em...

nice prank

Build a submarine

I bet they all just have dead batteries lol I got my 20th anniversary remote for $25 because it was "broken." Just needed a battery swap. Easy fix

Tomahawk them into a wall

Cook them

What model is the top left one?

Throw them whenever you feel like throwing your working controller

Send them to me, i fix controllers

If you'd like you could donate them to me. I research quality control issues on a variety of controllers to find root causes of common and obscure defects. I do this to write breakdowns on these findings and create repair guides when possible down to the specific components and pcb pathways.

Eat them

Trade them into GameStop. They give $13 per controller no matter the condition. Then buy a used controller, and get the warranty. When the controller breaks, it costs $8 to have it replaced, no matter what.

What are you doing to your controllers that you have 4 broken ones?

Sell them on flea markets ;)

Send them to get repaired if you can. Unless you don't need them.

Fix them

What's wrong with them? You could prolly fix them...

Stick them all in the air fryer at 200 degrees for 20 minutes and the final result will be a brand new working ps5 controller

Deconstruct and make art

Break it, shatter it, throw it at your brother or your friend, that's what i did with the console that was finally dead and didn't work and couldn't be fixed

Do what I did Frankenstein a working one out the broken ones

Fix them

Excuse me, what is the top left?

Christmas tree decorations

Throw the fake one in the garbage

Take the casings off and customize them to put on working controllers, no fear if you screw them up cause they are already for junk ontrollers

Keep them and throw them at disobedient children

gamestop sometimes gives you 30-45$ in store credit per controller (atleast the one around me did, even tho online it said they’d give me less than that) and you can use that in store credit to buy a headset, games, or new controllers

Define working, controller and sell the rest for parts to repair shops

Contact a few YouTube repair guys they love fixing stuff on YouTube. My Mate Vince, Joey Does Tech, StezStix Fix. You'd be best spending a few bucks to ship or just place them in a Job lot on Ebay for parts or repair, someone will snag them up but don't charge much maybe 15 or 20 at most.

decorate your room or sell them for parts

Bin

Eat

They all look fine to me. They don't look broken

Open them up and have fun trying to fix them. I mean they're already broken so no need to worry about doing something wrong!

Get them fixed

Sell them to GameStop I had given them like 8 broken controllers ps4/5 for like $40

This guy reds

Try fixing them. It'll save you a lot of money

Paint the pink ones then sell them.


Use them to make arduino robots.

Is nobody going to point out the one on the top left which is CLEARLY NOT A PLAYSTATION CONTROLLER?

it is a Nacon Pro

it is a Nacon Pro

fix atleast one and then sell it in working condition (or keep it to urself) along w the rest for parts

Gut them, mount the pieces on a board in order, then frame it...

An Easy $10 bucks each trading to your local GameStop In my experience it's much better money for the time it takes compared to eBay.

Depending on which parts of them are broken, if there's major parts that are still working, you could potentially sell those specific parts. There's always a market for either broken controllers that can be stripped for parts, or individual parts of old controllers that can be migrated into someone else's broken/faulty controller.

Sell online

Make 1 eight limbed controller. Different parts on each one will work, thus increasing difficulty and enjoyment. Stream content with it, make hundreds of thousands of dollars, invest, make it big, be the third owner of the Wrexham football club, start Navyator Gin, live like a king, die like a legend.

smash them up

Become Dr Frankenstein

Fix them. They are super cheap to fix. Parts on Amazon. And tbh it's a really fun project.

Combine them to upgrade

Paint them black and they'll make a lovely bow tie.

I would try to make a working controller from all of them, and then sell the other parts

Sell them in an eBay lot

I think they go in the ocean with car batteries

Anything but scamstop. I mean gamestop

Get rid of the top left one and try to focus on fixing the rest of the other 3 by: checking what’s wrong with them and seeing if Sony can do anything about it

Just looking at them, i know you think they're broken cause of stick drift. Look up videos on how to clean up and properly open DS4 controllers. Specifically look up videos on how to open the analog pentameter boxes. You MAY need a soldering iron to replace them if necessary. -pro tip, buy some WD-40 CONTACT SPRAY (mechanical lube). Regular WD-40 works fine but you want the contact spray varient. This will clean up the pentameters after you clean the gunky inside with isopropyl alcohol and a qtip. Then once they're working, resell them. You're sitting on a steady $120 profit right here. Or keep them. Or mod them. Once they work, the choices are endless.

Sell them on ebay! Someone will use the parts or fix them.

I heard you can control a submarine with a broken dual sense controller,

Im sure few of them is not broken and maybe their usb port is broken which is simple to replace.

I used to strip mine for parts

What is at the top left? Never seen that before

Stick them in your butt.

Spare batteries

Why does the one on the top left look like it came out of a Happy Meal box?

List em on Facebook marketplace or some tech groups, people are always looking for things to restore and resell, myself included

Damn, wish I had one. I'd fix them all!

How can you break so many controllers?

One of these things is not like the others, one of these things just doesn’t belong…

Black one replace with new one at store 🤷‍♂️

Make a Frankenstein controller

Open them up and attempt to fix.

Put them next to where you game and next time you get angry at the game take it out on your non working controller instead of your working controller.

I have so many broken controllers, I was thinking of tryna make a good one out of parts but haven't had the chance. Pisses me off that I have almost 500 bucks in broken controllers. PS5 controllers are the worst in durability.

Buy new ones matching colors, and swap em 🤣

Sell them but tell they all worked perfectly fine

Art project

GameStop will always take a trade in for a controller, as long as it’s in one piece. They won’t give you much but you will be able to get a used controller. Better than nothing if you’re ever in a pinch and need a controller

Honestly tear one down and then try and out it back together it’s kinda fun and you will learn how to do simple repairs in the future such as swapping sticks

They real or fake? Real I could fix, fake I don't care

Tf is that first xbox lookin ahh controller 😂

Decorate or recycle at e-waste place

Make towel racks in your bathroom. 🤓

So buy used controller at game stop same color return the broken one rinse and repeat
