I wash my hands after eating if I use my controller (else it depends if they feel dirty).
Even doing that the thumbsticks (of my Shock Blue xbox series controller) are still are a bit discolored.
Tbf unless you’re really anal about it, you’re never going to have perfectly clean hands all the time. But if your controller is getting discoloured quickly and regularly, then you can probably tell where the problem lies regardless of its colour.
I have similar issue with mouse, but it takes about 3-4 years of regular use for it to get really noticeably discoloured or start rubbing off top coat, to a point where even cleaning with IPA doesn’t do anything. And that’s a black mouse.
Also worth noting, many hand creams are a big no-no imho. Some of that shit destroys your gear, worse than any dirt.
The controller is about 3-4 years old if I remember correctly with moderate use.
But I also use fluid soap. Afaik that may leave residues on equipment?
Are white rubber thumbsticks bad in some way?
Probably if you don’t wash your hands very often…or at all? Just guessing
