I'm considering debloating my collection, but I have like 3-4 times the space taken by the videogames for the accessories, and this is where I'm trapped...
I'm having a hard time considering debloating accessories/controllers too, because I know the ones I own are original AND work flawlessly.
But ... they do take space.
So I don't know how to deal with this, since I wanna keep all the systems I already have and most of their controllers too (talking about 5-10 per console for controllers , and around the same up to the double for accessories).
If you have any way of thinking or dealing with it, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Detach the cables, tie them up into bundles and place into a well fitting box. Unscrew the controllers and place the screws into a small ziploc bag. All the top shells can stack neatly over each other as well as the bottom shells which can be stored into a neat box. The analog stick caps can be pulled off and placed into another small ziploc bag. If you can solder, desolder the analog sticks and place those into another separate bag, so the PCBs can all be neatly placed into a box, but if you can't they can still be neatly stored in a small box just alternating directions to save space in a box.

I think you could probably keep out just one controller for each system for quick access, and probably 3D print some kind of tray for the rest to sit in a bin without messing up any joysticks or being messy.

Pick one controller that's your favorite and just use it on all your systems with brook converters
