Have you ever destroyed a console controller?

[Shark]

I was putting my PS2 back to where it would go when I wasn't using it. I didn't realize my controller was still on my bed so when I slid my PS2 back, my controller fell off my bed and landed on the floor that was covered by a very very thin carpet so it basically landed on the hardwood and cracked right along the seam. I could never get my parents to believe that I didn't destroy it in anger.

[Perfect Timing]

I've never thrown a controller as it's just a game. I destroyed them by having beer spill on them though.

I made my ex destroy her controller.

She kept dying on Crash Bandicoot and I kept going "God you're shit" winding her up.

Maybe that's why she is now an ex

[Heart of fools gold]

I've destroyed a couple in my time.

As a kid I would chew through the wires of my N64 controllers.

Teen me spiked an Xbox controller in Madden, that was the first and last time I threw a controller. Because they're not cheap and when you're a teen with no job it really hurts the ol wallet to replace one.

And lastly adult me crushed a ps4 controller by gripping it too hard during an intense online fight in DB Fighterz. But in my defense ps4 controllers are not designed for bigger hands

Lets just say 13 year old me didn't appreciate the racing missions in GTA San Andreas. I still hate racing games now because of those.

Came close with MK2 with Shao Kahn being the cheapest final boss in any fighting game. Usually it was always the old games that made me get exceptionally angry.

I never had a problem with Shao Khan...

granted that was because Motaro always kicked my ass... the one or two times I made it past him I beat Shao Khan with little issue.

It was the complete opposite for me. I had no issue with Motaro at all, for me he was as easy the fight with Goro. Perhaps Khan is simple when you don't allow him to back you into a corner. Once he gets you in that position it's pretty much over.

Those NCAA football games with their Superman LBs and Safeties are the only time I've done that. I had a perfect pass for a sure TD late in the game when the LB jumped 10 feet in the air to intercept it.

Threw my controller against the wall and it never worked right again.

Yes. God only knows how many N64 controllers I went through. A few were in anger I'll admit but I also end up jamming the control stick by either using them roughly or stepping on them.

The rage breaking has stopped but I still issues dropping or stepping on them.

Just from overusing them and not really being careful about it. Like dropping them and such. PS1 era I went through a few, as near the end of the PS1 there were cheap controllers and those didn't last long after a while. One time I lost the bit that covered a PSP's battery, then ended up dropping a bit of this pain relief balm at said exposed battery. Amazingly, the balm managed to melt a bit of the surface of the battery which made me wonder what the hell was I rubbing on my body. Battery itself was actually fine.

[Long A, Short A]

I never have because I'm embarrassed about the stuff I've broken out of anger. Y'all would have me put away, if I say all the stuff I did when I'm crapping the bed at games.

[tartsonawire]

Didn't have a console of my own until I was about 19, so no. Most I did was did get frustrated playing my cousin's NES and proclaim that the game cheated. My bro in law, however, got pissed playing Madden Football on his Genesis and hucked it into the fireplace. He was in his late teens, just really spoiled.

[SmashTV]

Multiple controllers and consoles...and at one point too a kitchen hatch window. All in the name of gaming...

I’ve destroyed many ps2 controllers due to NBA Live back when it was good. I’ve since grown out of that.
