People with broken SG controllers raise your hands

Has anyone ever broken one or had one break? I had mine break about 2 months back...all of a sudden something went wrong with the wire connecting it to the PS2 and I couldn't use it anymore. It sucked waiting a week and half for the new one to get here. But seriously, for those of us who play A LOT, I honestly don't know how these controllers are supposed to last that long (think trying to practice Bark at the Moon or The Breaking Wheel a thousand times in a row)...they sure take a beating

I thought mine was broken, it used to strum twice instead of once, maybe becuase i hit the strum bar so hard, it would strum down and flick back up, so either its fixed, or i dont do it as hard

I threw my guitar at the wall in some serious anger when it kept doing it, and since then, its acted fine

I dont encourage Guitar Hero violence, its not worth it ;)

Still not fixed. I'll try to get it fixed either over the weekend or during summer.

I'm waiting for mine to die. I've had issues with the quality (or lack thereof) of Red Octane peripherals before... hell, I should prolly get a new one just so I have a fully working tilt sensor.

Had to rig up the whammy bar many times with rubber bands or what have you.. but other than that it's still fine. I hope it never breaks.. this one is the only one without a droopy whammy bar.

My controller has DWBS (Droopy Whammy Bar Syndrome), and I do not have the money to fix it.

Well, this seems to be the post that has given me the fancy green tag under my name.

Awesome.
