2 Original Xbox controllers (Big daddies). The analog sticks got funky, and would alternate how fast I would move. Took off the cover for the first one, which was pretty fun at LAN parties, but it eventually broke, and one of my friends bought me a used one from GameStop.

Those controllers were easily my favorite.

I wore out the analog stick on an N64 controller with Mario Party. Does that count?

Other than that, I turned a Xbox controller into a USB controller and used XBCD to drive it. That's kind of breaking it.

I believe the first controller I ever destroyed was an N64 one because I kept losing thanks to the completely worn out analog stick.

After that I destroyed 2 or 3 PS2 ones thanks to worn out shoulder buttons.

I don't break a controller just because I'm pissed, but if the controller is what's causing the problems I'm definitely going to smash it.

I scored a 4 million on fire and flames and was so happy and the adrenaline of being a real life rockstar hero rock bander forced me to take the guitar and start bashing the fuck out of the TV with it. Broke the 42" plasma and the controller. I bought a new TV and then rock band. I scored a 4.0001 million on threw fire and flames with drums so I ripped each of the drum things off the stand and threw them at my TV. TV broke by the third drum I threw. It was worth it though.

Pretty hardcore imo.

Sounds like you're the type of person who should import this newly released game in Japan - Suicide hero.

Mario Party 1 - N64 - 3 controllers.

Fucking pwning everyone and then get something retarded like 'bash n cash'. When I was a kid and winning seemed to be very important..

I seriously broke 3 controllers playing this game, and they're the only controllers i've ever broken. I don't remember if it was all because of the bash n cash thing, at least 2 of them though.

I have never ever ever broken a controller to any system I have ever owned.

Well, the n64 joystick naturally wore itself loose ... its like a hooker, the more fun you have with it, the looser it gets.

Two. Both resulted from holding down the X button too much, playing Gran Turismo. The button became stuck.

Wait, if we include sticky buttons/keys then I've gone through like 3 keyboards due to internet porn.

This is a bit off the tangent of the thread, but my dog seems to think that its funny to chew up all four of my Xbox headsets.

never really broke one out of anger, but I have worn them out from playing too much. Especially the N64 controllers.

If you have to resort to destroying a 50 dollar input device when you get mad, how about you ponder how many hours your parents worked to buy it. Also, try this... walk away from the game for a few minutes and cool down. EVERY time I do said practice, when I return to the game I accomplish what I was trying right away. Obviously because I regain focus, since anger can make the brain not operate as well.

The wiring on PS2 controllers seemed to turn to shit if you stored them in that roll-the-cable-around-the-controller method. Thankfully this problem was fixed in the next generation :D. Only problem I've ever had with xbox controllers is the pads on the left analog (sic) stick wearing down. it would be pretty fucking good if you could get replacement pads, because the soft compound (even softer for the 360 controllers) wears down very fucken quickly. It's grippy form fitting perfection when it's new though, for all of 15 hours (3-4 months with my gaming habits).

I went through 4 PS2 controllers in one year playing NHL 2005. I was 15 and didn't take losing very well.

Well, what the fuck do you expect? - you idiot.

If you want to throw somehting, go outside and play cricket. Instead of draining away your parents hard earned moolah. Spoilt little shit, grow some respect.

I really can NOT afford to break a controller. Not for $60 a piece. Just NO. Everytime I'm about to break one, I just tell myself that if I break it, I'll have to find the money to buy it, and I really don't have the money right now.
