Not sure I turned it on and sniffing it right now. Smells like plastic but I believe the plastic odor becomes stronger when it heats up. I think the smell that was bothering me was my woman's hair. On a side note the buttons (yxba) rattle when you shake the controller. Even putting your hand over the buttons slightly can have it make noise. Same thing happens when you put your finger on buttons of the GCN, Classic Controller, and a few other controllers that I tested. They just don't make the noise as much when shaking. |
i would guess based on your description the smell is plasticizer. it's used in most any plastic processing and should generally go away after a week or so. that "new car smell" many people like is plasticizer. it would make sense the smell increases as it heats up.
oh, btw. plasticizer is cancerous. the amounts we are exposed to with new products is generally too low concentration to matter ... but you probably should avoid putting your nose right into it.
