People just need to learn to treat hardware in the right way. Games are meant to be fun and relaxing, even when challenging and thrilling. You won't turn or run faster or punch harder when you squeeze the inputs as much as you can. Just like broken touch screens, pretty much the user's fault.
I've been on many tournaments and especially Mario Kart Double Dash left me shocked when everybody was killing their stick while charging mini turbos, the room was filled with a loud "clickclickclickclickclickclick". They were all staring at me because my controller didn't make a single noise when I played, yet I won all the major tournaments I attended lol
and my N64 controller, launch model, from March 1997, still works veeery well despite me playing loads of Mario Kart 64 and Mario Party.
