Controller Dangers?

    I was wondering since there's major problems with mobile phones and other hand held devices. Would there be a problem with game controllers?

    I know that a games controller cannot compare to a phone but I just assume it has similar properties for example -- heat from long hours of gameplay/usage.

    I'm just wondering as we know a lot of dangers from the consoles and computer games themselves but what about what we use to control them.

    I just think it's interesting and if anyone has any information I would be grateful.

    No, never

    The battery is not actually near the body of the controller

    I wish all electronic devices work as well as my PS controller. It is flawless! Never had a problem with it (ps1 to ps3). They can take an almighty battering, never over heat in anyway (for me at least). Reaction time for a wireless device is astounding. Nothing to worry about it.

    Biggest danger is throwing it through the tv screen in a fit of rage but health wise no.

    Out of curiosity can I ask what dangers consoles and computer games have?
