      Yup. If they’d just made the bowl out of something OTHER than ABS, they would have been good. Delrin, PTFE, even a thin layer of brass or broze, and those controllers wouldn’t have had anywhere near the amount of issues they’re known for having.

      There are third-party manufacturers who sell replacement bowls and sticks, made from everything from POM to steel.
