Were they ever reliable? Always a matter of time before they start pissing me off

My N64 controllers are still fine. PS1 and Saturn controllers are still fine. Dreamcast, PS2, Xbox & Gamecube all still just fine. 360,PS3,PSP,Wii ones are still fine. Vita 3DS, PS4, Wii U, Switch all fine.

I have never had analog sticks go bad on me. Never even had a controller die on me.

Same here never had a problem with my own controlers since N64, but i guess it's a combination of how the products came out of fabric, and also a lot of other factors including how you play with them, had some friends in high school that fucked up every controller relly bad:

- N64 analog sticks used so intensively they were totally loose, that they didn't even register movements.

-PS1/PS2 dual sticks from the dual shock stuck in position as if they were glued with something from behind, also the button from top of the analogs totally unpressable.

- Gamecube analogs destroyed in states similar to the N64 and PS ones previously described, i suppose from playing too much smash bros melee, but they were also capable of fucking up the gums?/plastic that are on top of the analogs as if they had been bitten or also completely removed, so when taking turns to play smash with that analogs felt like you were playing with a razor on your tumb, not as comonly but i also saw this done to a dualshock controller too.

Later i never saw/had problems with the analogs controls of any console, just the switch from some acquaintances that have the drift problem.
