Custom controller!
Bro what did they do eat it?
Guess it’s time to level up your digestion skills?
I guess breakfast was already had then 😅
This is how you end up in a basket on the door step of the local fire department.
Aren’t those sticks meant to come off and be replaced with other ones? you should have a different set already in the package it came in.

Time to throw away that trash and get a new one
Hopefully the next one behaves better
Ok why the hell is it nsfw?
I mean, a responsible parent shouldn’t leave anything that is choking size around a toddler, elite controller included. You look at this as tragic, you need to replace your thumbsticks. Look at this as a happy lesson learned, your toddler didn’t choke to death on an analog stick. Do better.
My lady dropped coffee on mine and 2 days after the warranty expired lol.

Context?
The Xbox Elite controller is such a fucking piece of shit. I bought one on sale about 2 years back, and within 6 months, the rubber grips on both sides of the controller started to come undone. The A button often gets stuck and doesn’t register rapid presses in succession, and the LB flat out has never worked properly, having to press it 5+ times for it to MAYBE register the input. The controller also requires some insane deadzone adjustments to handle the whiplash in the opposite direction as the analogs return to their starting position, and it can’t be solved by adjusting the sticks themselves.
It’s also a battle to actually assign custom bindings to the extra buttons on the back. The official software outright doesn’t let you, and you need to downgrade the firmware to be able to adjust the extra buttons via Steam Input, or pay for a piece of shit third-party software.
It’s outright the worst gaming peripheral I have ever owned and I will never purchase a Microsoft controller ever again. I’ve also owned TWO separate Xbox One controllers, both of which had their USB inputs damaged in no time at all from simply charging them. /end of tangentially related rant
eat him
I’ll just not make the mistake of having kids, aka future zog slaves. Lmao.
Also the toddler:
I’m not hungry anymore.
This precise thing has been happening with my toddler. So the controller goes in its case in a draw after every game sesh
Reason #… aww shit I forget what number I’m on. This is why I got a vasectomy.
Also PSA don’t forget to put out of reach of pets
Reason #376 why I’m not having kids
i have this controller. the joysticks easily come off and attach magnetically. they’re probably on the floor somewhere.
Cats also love those removable pieces
No lie, my 4 yr old totally did the same thing to our teeny switch controller. I ordered replacements, made sure nothing was dangerous to swallow (it’s a rubber thumb grip, not even the size of a dime – if bigger or magnetic/metal, see a doctor). We have no idea why she did it. She’s been playing around controllers and things for years, no issues. Our other kids didn’t do this, either. Just a weird thing where we went “wtf…” Yeah, we definitely also learned to put our stuff up more out of reach this week and explained that we don’t break the controllers or swallow pieces. She understands, but again…toddler…so…
Had my toddler not only do that but also managed to put one of the sticks in her mouth in the blink of an eye.
Never left it within reach after that, it scared the hell out of me.
