It's really interesting. I own a lot of devices and consoles and usually never experience something like this even on well played systems / controllers.
But in comparison a family member uses his notebook for 1 month and it looks like it had been in a war zone for 30 years.
How??
(I'm not blaming anyone, they're your devices, but really curious how does this degrade this much? )
I'm just a big goof and press down harder than most.
I don't know. If you look at the picture of the switch lite thumbstick you've shown I would formulate the theory that your body oils slowly decompose plastics with rubber component. 🤷
Makes sense
