A place to share practical, durable and quality made products that are made to last, with an emphasis on upcycled and sustainable products!
Guidelines:
Things that are well-made and durable (even if they won't last a lifetime) are A-Okay!
Unlike that other BIFL place, Home-made and DIY items are encouraged here, as long as some form of instruction is included in the body of the post.
Videos links are not allowed as post titles, but you may use them in a text post.
A limited amount of self-promotion is accepted, IF the item you are selling aligns with this criteria:
- The item must be made with sustainable or recycled materials.
- If electronic in some way, the item must be open-source.
- The item must be user-serviceable (if applicable).
- You cannot be a large corporation.
- The post must be clearly marked with a [Self Promotion] tag in your title.

MODERATORS
Assuming you're using it on PC:
I've had a Logitech F310 since they came out over a decade ago. It's the oldest controller I've ever had and is sturdy as fuck.
It's not wireless, and doesn't have rumble or anything fancy. It can, however, be switched between XInput and Direct so it works even with older games that don't have modern controller support.
The huge, built in axial and radial deadzone on the sticks are absolutely awful and made me regret getting the F310.
As much as I love my f310 I wouldnt call it a buy for life. Mine has an issue with a d-pad that makes it so some dirt gets under it and messes with the controls.
I lost more than one street fighter match because one of my direction buttons decided not to work
