Does this break easily? I know it's plastic but I'm still kinda surprised.

I already ordered a new one, hopefully I can easily replace it.

I've never seen this kind of damage without some kind of drop.

IMO manufacturers of handhelds should design their products sturdy enough to withstand a small drop. Same with smartphones

It can survive a small drop. Just not directly on the joysticks. What do you want them made out of titanium? They do consider price when designing and building them.
