Random gaming peripheral question

My question is: how do you wrap the cords of your controllers? - As in, do you do it the 'normal' way where you just wrap it across the vertical (general two handed controller style) or do you have some special way due to paranoia? I'm asking this because my pdp afterglow just broke on me, and i'm thinking it was becuase of frayed wires =\ Same kinda thing happens to my headphones, so i definetly think it's something involving the immediate cord that comes out of the controller/ device.

Controller-style? I just wrap around them vertical.

same as ^^^^
or leave them spread out

so maybe it's just with 3rd party stuff? or maybe the controller itself, cuz i read reviews that it starts getting kinda funky after sometime. Meh, i'ma get an official wired to replace it >.> it feels so weird playing maple without a controller now

you use a controller for maple?? lol I just use the keyboard.
I only use controllers for game consoles but with that I can relate to your problem.
with my ps2 controller it sometimes shuts off because the wire is coming out of the
top and I can see the bare wire. Which is a really bad sign lols

I make a little loop at the beginning of the cord (the one connected to the controller) and then wrap it around. My thinking is that since that part is the most sensible (even when it has the springy protection thing) I let it have some space.
