Only the good die young?

The PS2 we have in five years. We are not a lot of players, so about three hours a week. yet we have (ie this week) bought in this period now the eighth Controller -. for controller so we have now spent much more money than the PS2 itself does not think about how much plastic waste with you molested this planet.

Only a Logitech controller that is no longer produced, the full five years, has survived.

Of these Crown controllers we bought from Amazon in August 2011 two pieces. The first (the frequently played) was broken in March 2012, ie after 7 months, the second last week, ie after 11 months. That was the shortest average life of all controllers that we have ever had, even though we lately rather less play than before. Judging by the intensity of use of the comparison is therefore made quite bad.

Both controllers were broken in the same way: the left joystick is no longer addressed.

The handling was good overall. The joysticks are accurate to press the keys partially quite ugly.

Given the relatively short life compared to other controllers by 20 EUR, I see this product with mixed feelings. It plays good, on the other hand it was an economic point of not a bargain.
