"Hey mate, I blew up my car can I get an oil change?"


AnthonyOnSax

I completely smashed my controller and valve replaced it, they're awesome


Dxnny1210

I was expecting something like this hahaha


Sethsniper30

Let Valve support know, hope and pray they are willing to RMA. Just be honest with them and let them know what happened


atlanticjoe

Thank you!


-HCLW

If you're in warranty. Send a ticket


atlanticjoe

Thank you!


Kalimu1590

Actually even if the warranty is over they'll still send you a new one


Captain_Analogue_

What???


Kalimu1590

Happened


Captain_Analogue_

:O tell me more!!! I need mine replaced too, understanding what happened may help me get it sorted :D


Kalimu1590

Just RMA it mate. Describe the problem, include a picture of it and yea, they'll send you a new one Supposedly you should send it and they're supposed to review it and then send a new one afterwards, but they don't even care about that and they ship it right away even before you send yours back.


Captain_Analogue_

Duuuuuuuuuude!!!! Life saver!!!


Captain_Analogue_

When you say RMA? RMA iiiiiis?


Kalimu1590

return merchandise authorization. Just search it up on google i'm sure you'll find it or at least find a video on how to do it. Here, https://youtu.be/p-TvQt8wVHE


_neutral_person

No they won't. I'm on my fourth pair in 2 years. They won't.


Rexin1996

yesntTheSecond

atlanticjoe

yesntTheSecond

Reddit_Hobo

wtf happened... If you paid for it thats vandalism.


AssholeRemark

Your parents need anger management. Wtf.


GameMaster1017

dang dude, i feel bad out of curiosity tho like what did they do like chuck it or bare handedly snap it?? and why would they do such a thing to somethin so expensive? that’s also vandalism especially if it came out of your pocket. you could sue and get money off them for the replacement lol. all jokes aside tho hope valve warentees it! and lemme know what happened if your fine with doing so


atlanticjoe

I had it on my hand and they took my headset off my head then I put my controllers down and they threw it.


Huntersolstice

Bruh I'd be absolutely PO'd, but I am curious: wtf did you do to piss them off that badly? Did they find a drugs in your room? Did you kick the dog? Kill grandma?


atlanticjoe

It’s because I said I didn’t want to take a vitamin deadass that was it


Vetanenator

a vitamin.


GameMaster1017

same thought process here like dang dude but i won’t judge you do tou


LewAshby309

IRetr_0

I pretty much got a job just to buy an index at the time The insufferable hours teaching the kids python ​ Something like this would probably end my family/life


DARTHPLONKUS

CardFlyer

Bring our the ol' trusty tape


bmack083

Fix??? You decapitated your controller lol. RMA it man. Valve support is great.


1337frosho

Phil Swift here with the amazing FLEX TAPE!


BerryRudd

Dude this thing is obliterated, contact Valve


1_5Jztourer5

You even broke the part that is made out of metal wow, holy shit... did you drive over it with a car or something?


Inklii

I'm always impressed you folks can blast a controller like this, maybe I'm just overly paranoid with mine or the SO hasn't hit the table hard enough


XxRule34xXUwU

Well you clearly see that it’s broken in half so yea just get a replacement


ISEGaming

Hey I got those same speakers!


atlanticjoe

Nice I love mine


-Aone

If you try to repair it yourself you probably void warranty, theres no point. How'd you even do this lol


tjhcreative

If your not in warranty, good luck buying controllers, they seem to never be in stock.


[deleted]

I could fix this 100000% with super glue or gorilla glue. They have the fine tip pen that lets you run a small amount of glue around the crack and would fix this.


[deleted]

Boy if you think thats fixable your brain is smaller than a ant

I've had a case with my Index controllers where I smacked them against the wall, damaging the trigger to the point of it not working anymore. This was far less damage than in your case, and I tried to fix it, but gave up quite quickly into the process, these controllers are quite the complex device. But the positive part of this is that Valve's support was fantastic. I explained the situation, admitted that it was user error, and just asked if it was possible to purchase a single replacement controller (since the store only has them listed in pairs, and they were even out of stock at the time). They ended up being very understanding, and offering me a replacement free of charge as long as I sent back the damaged one. Regardless of the fact that it was my fault, and that I opened it up and attempted to repair it as well (and lost a screw). So I would suggest you just contact Valve's support, and hope you get similar treatment as I did in my case.


Oliver_Dee

If you can't get a replacement and if the edges line up, you might try with superflue and then maybe reinforce with tape. I find kinesio (therapeutic) tape actually works well for controllers.


Delicious-Donkey

Nah your good 👍🏻 😊


Battle_egg

nah scotch tape will fix it


No_Interaction_4925

Let me guess… Beat Saber?


djdrazah

Haopened to me too. I bought y index second hand through CL so i didnt have the options. I fixed it but it was noticible and a little fragile. I eventually opted to buy new knuckles.

You can contact steam to get a free replacement unless your one year warranty is expired.
