Been a Playstation need my entire life, this was quite possibly my biggest L

My whole life I've been a Playstation fan boy, wound up finding a friend at a school dance in 7th grade, he and I hit it off and became best friends, only like a year after being friends did I find out his dad worked for Sony ☠️ I would fix his Playstation controllers and stuff like that here and there, really impressed him and his dad. Eventually they gave me a 1/50 employee exclusive ps vr controller, the caviat was it had stick drift.. easy fix. 15 year old me fixed it, they let me keep it, a couple years down the line sony released a purple controller.. I liked it a lot, I also happened to like the touch pad a lot.. well I kitbashed them and.. they didnt fit very well.. I MADE them fit but ultimately before too long the pressure behind the touchpad snapped it.. and well, the rest is history 🤣

Figured I'd share here because, well.. I didnt know where else to other than a place full of Playstation fans. The controller could easily sell for $700+ in good condition i believe.
