What are you all playing right now?

I think my lovely Gulikit controller is kaputtsky When will I learn you can't rely on anything. It's anti stick drift and other features were awesome, but if it can't hold a charge... or whatever this is (no longer connects or turns on and according to windows, is 'malfunctioning'), it's not much use. I have to wonder if it's related to Linux though, cos I didn't have any problems with it under Windows... maybe, if Linux has any say in the power output of usb cables, it could have overcharged it or undercharged it or something, that's my only theory. I'm gonna miss that controller, it was so comfortable to use

If it's currently electronic waste, might as well try to open it up and see what type of battery it has and try to get an equivalent battery from some online store that has those things. You may need to use a soldering iron to remove and reinstall the batteries, but it's worth it to keep those things out of the landfill.

Heya Poca, long time. Yeah, no I'm not really comfortable with doing that. The best I've done is open controllers to clean analog sticks (which you don't need to do with this particular one... that was it's USP... electromagnetic sticks so anti-drift) but I'm not comfortable with soldering or anything like that, or messing with the battery... thanks for the suggestion though It wouldn't be that much use in this case anyway because there's no way (I've found) to tell the battery charge level, beyond just a light to tell you if it's fully charged or not. So I assumed it was charging whilst I played with it plugged in, but I guess not, or maybe not, and no way to really tell.
