two drum pedals and an xplorer strum bar

Not sure if the xplorer strum bar counts, it's not really broken but when I flick it up it snaps back and double hits. I think it's more of a design problem coupled with regular use loosening the springs

Downstrum on xplorer; fixed it already. Took a part the switch to find out exactly how it happened and this small little metal piece broke off that makes the connection for the circuit.... probably from wear and tear. As I took a part the xplorer though I noticed when they assembled it they crushed the wires coming from the fret buttons onto one of the screw bridges and there were exposed wires (real quality from red octane) but anyways I fixed that too.

After fixing all that; especially the wires it works better than before.

I've broken 3 RB1 strum bars, 2 of which I broke before actually owning the game.

My RB2 drum pedal broke once. It fell in the floor when I was picking it up and the plastic screw mounts that hold the orange tab in snapped off.

The only other thing I've broken was some crappy replacement RB1 drum pedal (half the size of the original, what the ****?) that a friend of mine purchased for $15. I think it was in the chorus for snow on Expert... maybe.

Amak, something I will never understand, is why you always post polls without providing answers for yourself. It's really strange.

I've murdered the whammy bar on about 5 different Original Guitar Hero 1 controllers. I used to be one of the ones who would "hammer on the whammy" when it was on a long notes and the flimsy design on these controllers just couldn't handle that. However it was easily fixed with a rubber band. When GH3 came out I continued to use the old GH1 controller because I liked the feel of it better. The raised buttons on the wireless POS it came with completely messed me up everytime I came to a solo. To this day I won't use one of those GH3 controllers. I still hate them. Most poorly designed controller I've ever seen for a game like this.

That's why I like the fact I'm using a Rock Band controller now to play FOF. I always prefered the Guitar Hero game layout over Rockband, but Rockband had a better guitar controller. At least in my honest opinion anyway. That and the fact that FOF don't have a whammy setup (at least on the version I play on) means the one on this controller may actually get a stay of execution. :P

It's sad that you even need Firefox to spell check for you D: I hope this isn't our future.

So far, I've broken 0 instruments. But the drivers for my RB Mic are not working for my PC. Hmm.
