Do the Transforming D-Pads still break easily?

I recently got the Gears 3 360 with two controllers which have the D-Pad, however ive heard they have break easily but the problem isnt as bad as before. How true is this and should i go a little easy on them?

I'd avoid throwing them or smashing them with a hammer if possible.

Had mine for a few months now and haven't had any problems. Then again, never heard of those problems to begin with.

havent had a issue with mine then again when i get annoyed at a game i dont slam or throw my controler like most people(cod community im looking right at you)

I've had mine since August and I haven't had a problem with it

The D-pad on the new controllers are strudy. What have people been doing to their controllers?

I got two of the silver controllers a couple weeks after their release and both of the dpads came off of the controllers. I did not throw or treat them in a careless manner. They actually popped off and shot into te air. I was out $120 2 months after getting them. I stay away now I have two corded controllers.

I'd avoid throwing them or smashing them with a hammer if possible.
