How frequently do you clean your controller?

Once every two weeks. I don't really touch my controllers unless my hands are clean and they're kept in a carrying case or on the dock when not in use so I don't need to clean it that often.

When you say clean, with what materials?

That's a very good question to ask. I'm a bit guilty of neglecting my controller's cleanliness. But ideally, I'd say it's good to clean it every 1-2 weeks, or after a marathon gaming session.

1-2 weeks is bad at all. To be fair, you can go months without cleaning your controller and it'd likely be fine and still look very clean.

@killamch89That’s indeed a fair point. I'd say 1-2 weeks is a good interval, but it ultimately depends on usage and your snacking habits.

Every 1-2 weeks, depending on gaming frequency.

Yes, regular cleaning is very crucial for performance and for hygiene as well. Every 1-2 weeks seems to be optimal.

I like that habit because I've seen so many gamers overlook maintenance which is quite bad.
