Random: Smash Bros. Melee Player Invents Hand-Warming GameCube Controller

That controller will smell funky after a few uses

Damnit! It got so hot my hands and the controller are stuck together! Oh well, guess it's time for Smash Brothers all nighter. Woohoo!

I have a Logitech PS3 Cooler Gamepad with fans everywhere.

With all the sweaty hands playing games, a warm controller sounded insane. But, I have noticed unloading hot dishes from the dishwasher feels good on my hands.

Leffen will be all over this

Is this what Smash gaming has come down to? 😪

@PBandSmelly You have sweaty palms because your hands are not skilled enough! What you need to do is practice holding your controller lightly like a balloon floating thru the air. Do this for several hours a day and your hands will level up. Now your hands will be ready. Also, you will have ninja hands as a bonus side-effect too. Hi yah!

Cool, it's a good idea, my hands are always freezing during winter game sessions. Would be great to have controller like that not only for smash.

Gotta smile at First World Problems!

And here I specifically got a cooling controller for my PC to combat accumulating sweat residue on it. Why would one want a controller that warms up? Especially when playing a frantic fighting game? Just do some hand exercises beforehand, your wrists will thank you.

Reynards disease ?

Smash is the 1 game that makes my hands sweat so this is a bad idea for me.

A hand warming controller? Aren't most controllers reviewed based on how well they deal with not making your palms sweat due to materials and textures? That's a selling point for competitive controllers like Razer and such. Who wants to buy a controller that intentionally causes the problem?

yall not gettin the appeal have clearly never tried playing games like smash at unheated venues, stuff gets way too cold to play properly haha
genius move by Morne, big ups

Does it come with Essence of Blue Cheese spray to rid the controller of the unbearable stench of sweaty palms?

Now if only the smash community could figure out how to take a shower

@iLikeUrAttitude Love to see the reasoning on that seeing as I've been stress testing it for 2 weeks and it doesn't smell like anything.

@Woomy_NNYes Follow any pro smash player and watch how often they tweet about cold venues, many contribute losses to their fingers being too cold/stiff.

@Morne Simple: It was a joke never meant to be taken seriously.

My controllers probably need a cooler because of my hot hands!
