I'm sure I'm not the only one who freaks when there's an unsightly controller in view (the crap at Gamestop). Please tell me you guys scrape the gunk engraved in the cracks of your controllers and wipe it with a disinfectant every now and again. If not, oh well :P

I never had a problem with my controllers getting dirty until my last roomate... jeezus! There were times he'd go a few days without showering and be up day and night playing my 360 and I had never seen a controller with what appeared to be toe jam in all the nooks and crannies.

Mine are pretty clean, sometimes give them a clean while waiting for an animation to end or something to load.

Only when I think they need cleaning.

But I'm going to clean them every month now.

Yeah I wash my hands before I play, and if they get a bit sweaty I wash em again. I can be OCD sometimes.

I clean mine mainly after a big party. You won't believe how dirty some people's hands are.
