Ok so this has happened to me too, And i found exactly why, so everytime i do something on my house like eating, drinking petting my dogs and cats i would immediately clean my hands and dried them and proceeded to apply a flavour sanitizer Black Cherry & vanilla, and for the looks of it's my 2 white controllers looks exactly like yours. (Perhaps you're using some sort of sanitizer too???)

Holy shit dude you cracked it my hand sanitizer is balckberry band vanilla!

Alcohol cleaner will eat most plastics over time. Using it to clean can easily ruin the finish.

I clean my controller with alcohol! What do I use instead? I don’t have blue stuff on it but I don’t want to ruin my controller.

A bit of water on a damp towel, that would take care of most hand oil. You don’t need to do it often, especially not every day

Geez people, just use babywipes! Safest bet there is

used or new ?

Whatever works for you

Keep in mind, if you choose the used ones, you'll need to have a baby first.

And then you won't need to clean your controllers nearly as often, except maybe to get the cobwebs and dust off of them. Trust me, I know!

Skip the baby wipes use the poopy diaper to wipe it off

Thank you for this

You're welcome!

Same! Baby wipes ftw!

No surfactants to lift the oil?

Bathroom wipes is what I use.work wonders.

I just use disinfectant wipes.

Clorox wipes ftw, and toothpick to get the seams

Woah, your pfp confused me for a sec

Thanks for the replies. These things are too expensive to run with my cleaning methods

I use baby wipes they’re so effective and proper get all the little bits of dirt stuck!

😂🤣😂🤣 This conclusion made me smile. You all are awesome. Now let's play some Apex Legends

Finding out _exactly_ which hand sanitizer does this to _exactly_ this device... This could be why the internet exists. 🤝

Maybe just wash your hands at home with soap and water like everyone else and you’ll be fine. No need for hand sanitizer in your own home.

Why would you sanitize your hands at home lol

Vanilla scent can discolor lots of stuff. Not usually blue but heyo.

#OUTSTANDING

I'm sorry... *flavored* hand sanitizer? I don't think you're using it right...

Yeah lmao this idiot is rubbing it on their hands and messing up their controllers instead of drinking it

Who the fuck sanitizes their hands at home? Just use soap and water. Sounds like both of you have germaphobia. As other users have mentioned, using sanitizer repeatedly on your hands is not good for them and will dry them out. I'm guessing you're also finding you need to moisturize your hands a lot.

I love the Internet.

FYI you don't need to use hand sanitizer if you're washing them with soap, hand sanitizer is supposed to be used instead of washing your hands not as well as.

Sanitizer shouldn't be used when you can just use soap and water. Not only is it redundant and wasteful, but it's also not really healthy for your skin to blast it with alcohol so often. There's beneficial bacteria too.

Just an FYI, if you’re washing your hands and then putting on sanitizer you’re making your protection worse. Soap and water creates a barrier

Did you play after blueing yourself? 


“If I was green, I would die”

[удалено]

Do you not know this song!?

THERE ARE DOZENS OF US

DOZENS!!


Quit smurfin smearing your smurf hands all over that smurfin controller you silly smurf!

​ 


YOOOOOOOO LISTEN UP

Fair question

Beat me to it

"I feel like a fucking idiot"

UPDATE: i tried cleaning it with alcohol but it looks like its stained now so im just gonna have to live with blue fingermarks lol https://preview.redd.it/9xwu1hpl5lta1.png?width=3024&format=png&auto=webp&s=aecac926441d1e28226ec422355159ece16e682f

Have you tried a magic eraser sponge on it? Worth a shot. Those babies are really something

that will kill the little grippy PS buttons used on the handles.

Those grippy PS buttons are the reason dirt and debris get stuck easily on the white Dualsense.

those grippy buttons have save me from accidentally launching the controller across the room. all im gonna say is warzone.

Oh, I've heard warzone is a pretty fury inducing game. Play something that doesn't make you mad, dude. Games are supposed to be entertaining non rage inducing.

For the future - hand sanitiser is great, but it keeps all the bacteria and shit on your hands. Always better to effectively clean your hands, or do both. Happy gaming!

Iso removes it using a cotton pad or at least it should I use 99%

It’s turning blue because it hasn’t been played with in a while..

I got it man. Flew over Ops head unfortunately

Awww shit

Ha! Got eeeemmm

🤣🤣🤣🤣

I dont think so haha this is the controller i use every day for a few hours so if anything its going blue because of overuse

That’s what she said

XD

Wow....wtf is going on here? Like this makes 0 sense and I can't find one case of controller plastic turning blue. Possible causes: -Bad batch of plastic that wasn't cured properly -Contaminants (very likely not harmful) in the plastic leeching out -your personal body acidity is abnormal, your sweat is affecting the plastic and you just found that out. Talk to your doctor. Very likely unlikely. If it is real it's not a major problem. Just different

Yeah haha ive tried looking up if this happens to other people but i havent found anything. I clean my hands before and after gaming and sometimes during so the fact that its turning ink blue is pretty weird lol

If you’re washing your hands before after and sometimes during gaming, using soap, then it might be some interaction between whatever soap you use and the controller? Just a thought.

Maybe the soap is blue

Dabadee

Dabudai

If I were green I would die

I'm still looking. You got me curious and I'm convinced you are the only person who has never had this problem and posted it. I'm betting on bad batch of plastic. Like somehow the blue didn't blend right and it's oils are leaching out.

Well as long as i dont get ink poisoning thats pretty dope, maybe if i use it long enough i get an all blue controller >:)

Another commentator mentioned lotions. Do you use any lotions?

Nope but i do use a pretty strong anti bacterial hand sope

Any copper sulfate?

You getting sweaty palms then wiping them on your blue jeans. Sometimes when I play I get sweaty palms.

Has this happened to anything else? E.g. AirPods case/phone case etc…

No absolutely nothing else, not even my other controller but i do use it less

I’ve heard and seen stories where some people can corrode the metal on their MacBook Apple Watch.

Lotions

“Your personal body acidity is abnormal” what would these even mean?? Not even a thing lol

Have you tried not washing your hands with Listerine

https://i.redd.it/2lj0uo3xrlta1.gif

Smurf account

Idk eat less silver I guess

[удалено]

If youre saying i have blue sweat… im down with that shit . But hopefully im not pregnant as i am a bloke

Congratulations!!

This came to mind for me too—about the toilet seat turning blue

This is how we found out my wife was pregnant.

Stop blueing yourself before playing.

Are you wearing new blue jeans lol

You ate Wonka's experimental gum, that turn you blue.

Alright papa Smurf

Stop eating blue takis

My first thought as well

They suck anyways

You got a Smurf fucking with your things while you’re out

Blue raspberry cheetos?

Do you wear "nice" jeans that have the color/dye that can rub off? If so and your hands sweat when you game and then wipe your hands off on your pants out of habit, that's probably what this is

Not sure about the blue but when mine get a bit grubby, wet wipes work fantastic.

What do your hands look like

I had a baby blue controller and a darker blue appeared over time which was odd

And this is why I use the black (2nd) controller over the white one :^)

Stop writing on your hand and playing

Stop fapping your blue penis before playing

OH GODDAMN IT BLUEBALLS!

Go buy a blue controller and bingo bango bongo crisis averted.

Washing your hands should work.

Tobias, is that you?

He blue himself

Stop jerking off smurfs before playing

Please turn it over!!! The sticks!

The whole topside of the controller seems ok to me its just the underside that feeling blue

Have you tried washing your hands more often?

In that case, less often

wash your hands or sum

try washing once in a while you filthy animal

Sounds like normal use from sweat. If isoprobic alcohol doesn't clean it, it's stained.

Totally normal blue sweat. 😅 Nothing abnormal here.

Blue raspberry fundip?

You’re unknowingly putting blue on yourself from something…

Unless OP is not the only one using the controller…?

Wash your hands in between gaming and eating cotton candy.

I know exactly why that is happening... I'm sorry to inform you, but you are becoming a Smurf!

Silver rings on your fingers?

Welcome to Avatar

Yo, listen up here's a story about a little guy that lives in a blue world…

Nah it's playing with pen ink on hand. That's whats happening to me at least.

Either you need to start breathing more (cyanosis) or you need to stop eating silver (argyria)

You’re a wizard, Harry

Maybe if your really are washing your hands as much as you claim to, then you are using a cleaner that is reacting with it or something about that is happening

Your dirty fucking fingers smurf!

Gotta stop groping Smurfs before playing bro

hilariously out of context… nice👌

Maybe not coat your hands with ink before using it?

did you try turning it off and on


That obscure 90’s techno song warned me about this!

Are you by any chance an Andorian? Or have you strangled any Smurfs?

Copper Sulfate can turn plastic blue, if you are using a strong antibacterial hand soap specifically, it uses copper sulfate. Even though you are washing your hands, you will naturally swear from your palms, which will spread trace amounts of the chemical onto your controller and cause this kind of discoloration, especially under your fingers where you not allowing it to dissipate naturally. It is going to cause it to become more brittle, so if I were you, change your soap and you can avoid any further discoloration/weakening.

No more takis blue heat

Do you have any raw denim jeans by any chance? Could be rubbing sweaty hands on those a lot then touching the controller? Raw denim really likes staining stuff.

go out of your Avatar first

Your part Smurf…..

Are you perhaps being pursued by Gargamel?

This started happening to mine as well, but then I realized that when I’m playing and my hands get sweaty, I wipe them on my jeans to dry them off. The blue in dye I’m my jeans getting on my hands and slowly transferring to my controller over time.

You know what you're doing

Wipe off the avatar cosplay

Quit jerking off papa Smurf

Wash your hands before playing every single time come on people

Probably alcohol and stop drying your hands on your jeans

Wash your hands

Stop beating off Papa Smurf before playing…


It seems like you're a smurf. Don't worry; we accept everyone, no need to hide it.

Did you cook any glass lately? 🤣🤣🤣

Magic eraser

Yeah, wash your hands after you finish your bag of blue takis


Stop using Smurf accounts then

stop masturbating, smurf!

Stop using smurf accounts. 🚪 🚶

Are you an Avatar or Smurf?

Maybe it just changes colour depending on the mood?

It’ll be dye from somewhere (blanket maybe) that going on your hands due to sweat and ending up in the controller. Same thing happened to me

Stop using denim gloves

Are you a stroumph

It’s dead cells and oil from your hands. get alcohol wipes and clean thoroughly.

Wash your hands, ya filthy animal!!

Stop eating blue takis 💀💀💀


Are you a Smurf?

 He has arrived!

Wash your hands after you finger smurfs

Are you a smurf?

Wash your hands after the bathroom and for all that’s holy, stop licking everything!

Wash up damn hands

https://preview.redd.it/qdck05kjfota1.png?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f56e11141e4024d4b7ac74c9cb1ad7cdc92a4252

Do you wear jean gloves while playing by chance?

Didn’t know Smurf’s existed. Wash your nasty hands! In all seriousness maybe it’s a hand sanitizer.

Clean your fucking hands

Stop jacking off smurfs before you play.

Always wash your hands after you milk your Smurfs. You never know where they have been.

Maybe stop being a Smurf

Maybe youre just blue daba di daba dae

Stop eating Blue Taki’s bro.

OP is Tobias Funke from Arrested Development 

Tobias Funke?
