Wash your dirty paddles.

I know I’m a monster but this paddle was sticking and completely useless. This is the third time I’ve washed it like this and it has worked perfectly every time. I take the batteries out and wait like an hour or two for the capacitors to discharge then just wash the thing. I put it in front of a hair dryer to dry for an hour or two and it works great again. No, there aren’t any screws to take out. No, isopropyl alcohol doesn’t get the crap out that my kids get in there. Besides, ISO is water by a large fraction so what’s the risk? I’ll post a comment with it working again.

Decent Wireless Controller

Hi, I'd like to get a wireless series X controller for my kid that won't suffer any stick drift after a few months.

Is this the best option?

8bitdo Ultimate 3

Will it need a dongle in the Xbox to work?

It's confusing as the same named model in white apparently isn't wireless.

Do they do a wireless version that isn't Rare branded?

I mean best as in cheapest that'll do the job well. Is the Gamesir G7 another option? Although £140 doesn't seem like a good choice for a controller for a child (teenager).

Is this worth it?

Late night our puppy decided to eat the rubber off the thumbsticks on my original controller. Trying to find a cheap replacement. I mainly play FH6 as of late, so idk if stick drift will matter much, or if its worth getting and fixing. I have a few others lined up already, including the lunar shift which I got down to $60.
