(+) Yeah! (+)

I read somewhere that its bad to wrap the cord around an n64 and gamecube controllers, is this true? If it is what is the best way to store your corded controllers?

Thanks!

I also heard it's bad. But whatever, it's 2018 and I'm playing wireless.

I know for a fact it used to be bad, but now days I don't think it makes a difference.

its bad because depending how tightly they're wrapped the top of the wire that connects to the controller can be stressed and rip open. it does nothing to the wire itself in my experience.

Ya I'm going through all my old games/systems and I want to get some containers and store them properly. So they're all older controllers.

Ok I normally wrap them pretty loosely, I hate cords getting tangled up and shit

Yes it is. I hated having cords naturally wanna twirl around like a fucking phone cord.

I used to just make a circle with the cord, without wrapping it around the controller. Bit like how they come in the package, really.

My dresser that has my TV and whatnot stands up 4 or 5 inches. I just push the controllers in there so the baby doesn't go after them.

I do this http://atmedia.imgix.net/9a90c94171963a599f3122c724e02186fecafb57?w=1500&fit=clamp

unless I have like twist ties or something else to hold it in place for a circle one

Buy some Velcro dude.

Damn I didn't even think about the circle idea. I also have a shitload of twist ties in my junk drawer.
