Mine would probably have to be the Gamecube, since it had such an obvious space to wrap the cable around.

What's your favorite?

"Wrapping controllers around the actual controller."

Use Twist ties people. Coil the wires in a neat bundle, twist tie and pop 'em in the dresser.

 

[JetBlackPanda]

This is like some kind of OCD porn for me. Show them perfectly rolled cables

 

[5amshift]

FIRST POST NAILED IT! Did my N64 controller the same way.

I was about to ask "how could you wrap the short-ass wire around the GC controller that many times?", but then I saw that it's the Smash GC controller.

This is the gladiator of N64 controllers.

 

[Swarley]

Easily N64.

Self wrapping

 

[lyrick]

Tightly wrapping cords in that manner messes them up.

Seriously though, leave them some slack and just use some velcro wirewrap, twist ties, or rubber bands.

IIRC :You should coil them loosely in one direction and do a have twist every other wrap. Your audio cords, extension cords, and controllers with thank you years from now by still working.

y'all gonna fuck up the cords

You've beaten the entire thread preemptively, OP.

Those pictures are making my eye twitch. Leave the cords alone!

I feel like we're running out of things to talk about.

Gamecube

 

[Zvonimir Boban]

I'm wincing thinking about the damage being done to those wires.

 

[Mr-Joker]

Probably the GameCube the wires were thick and smooth so the chances of them getting damaged was low.

Least favorite would be Sony controllers, no matter how careful I was or how I wrapped the wires they would become twisted and the pins connector would just go missing. Sony make such a shitty controllers that feels cheap and brittle yet charge so much for them.

 

[VendettaRed07]

So many possibilities. Though the legs, around the waist, over under each side, etc.

Atari Jaguar Pad: More wire-wrapping surface area than you can shake a horribly designed controller at.

i can't believe i bought one of these ye gods what a fucking monstrosity

 

[KyleCross]

Just plainly wrapped it vertically around the controllers. Then only a few years ago found out that it was bad for the cords or, more specifically, made playing them a bitch because the cords would loop on you when you straighten them out.

 

[Fahzgoolin]

I HATE doing that. It often puts too much tension where the wire meets the controller and can make for a bad connection.

JUST NO

Twist ties? Try Velcro ties

N64 controller loses in most categories, but this is the one that it wins hands down.

 

[e90Mark]

I'm sure I still have my N64 controllers wrapped exactly the way they are in the first post sitting in storage.

 

[Inumbris]

Gamecube for sure; this is exactly how I wrap my controllers as well. I can basically do a perfect wrap without looking after having done it this way for years and years.

It's funny that the extra cable length on the Smash controllers doesn't allow for this, and that fact actually kind of disappointed me for a while haha!

Came to post this (N64)

 

[John Kowalski]

I never wrapped the cables, the cable would end up all twisty and it really bothered me.

 

[robertlebrone]

I was gonna say N64, but first post handled things nicely.

 

[KRaZyAmmo]

I don't wrap my wired controllers. okay maybe the gamecube in a simple wrap. You start from the back and then just go around the center making a loop. Nothing like OP post.
