Classic Controller sticks going...yellow?

[Jazzem]

I've recently realized that on the Classic Controller I usually use, the tops of my analogue sticks have yellowed! I know the same sort of thing can happen to old pre-owned SNESes and white plastic-things in general, but is this happening to anyone else's? It's only a minor aesthetic thing, but it looks really ugly in line with the rest of the controller's whiteness =/

This has happened to mine also, i think it is because of grubby fingers!


Lol
Even if you wash them it still seems to make a stain =[

Not happened to mine.

It happened to mine but that was because I drew on my thumb with a gold pen and forgot to wash my thumb

Haha nice. It happend to me 2 I hate it but my c stick is also getting yellow which makes my first one look less yellow.

Happened to mine, too, as well as to my nunchuk stick. Shouldn't eat cheesy poofs and game at the same time. :p

bah humbug, I thought Nintendo stopped using that cheap plastic that was easily ruined >_>. Ah well, looks like I might wait a tiny bit longer to pick up one so that it dosent look like an unwashed Simpson family member... or in other words, my SNES -__-

Ha yea it looks like my analog sticks have a horrible smoking habit as well. Same thing happened to my DS Lite shoulder buttons.

You should have a black DS lite then:P

lol

Wow you must have dirty hands to make a DS yellow.

[crops55]

Ha well the DS isn't necessarily turning yellow its just the shoulder buttons have a grayish tint to them now. All that furious snaking while Mario Karting really got the best of my DS.

A grubby joypad is a loved joypad.

One solution though ... try bunging a load of bleach down your loo and dangle the controller in while you flush. That'd probably get rid of the stains. :)

Haha why not just do it in the sink, or perhaps a wet towel?
