Well, so far three cube controllers have died on me. I know it's not just the cube because all my other systems had their sticks get 'loose' after a few years. I currently have them in a renovated basement, connected to an unrenovated back room that gets a lot of moisture from rain and such. There's a dehumidifier back there but it really flubs up in the winter. Think that moisture can do something to the analog sticks? Here's the status of the broken controllers:
Controller 1 (official Nintendo wired): Control stick had a messed up vertical axis. It will go up and down halfway without registering. When it's pushed all the way, it registers as only going half way. Otherwise fine.
Controller 2 (official Nintendo wired): C-Stick always goes left (or right, I forget which way). Otherwise fine.
Controller 3 (Wavebird): Cracked it open. The little metal lines on the circuit board by the on/off switch are gone. Looks like water damage. Doesn't turn on. Would work otherwise.
Please assist.
