   Time to rescue this Ouya controller from its own alkaline hubris. The good news is that it doesn't appear to have gotten into the internals, so stripping it down and cleaning the plastic parts ought to leave it good as new.

   Only one battery appears to have popped, so for peace of mind I might pop the other into a more secure container. The box I'll tackle later.

     @timixretroplays have you come up with a use for it at all? Mine's in a box with its console/streaming unit (rip)

     @timixretroplays It was a really nice controller design. I'll be interested to see how you do.

     @HauntedOwlbear @timixretroplays Mine too. There is this community server https://ouya.cweiske.de/ but I haven't tried it yet. Couldn't pair controller with Mac. Didn't try Linux, maybe that works?

     @tomwor @HauntedOwlbear mainly I wanted to try out the gen2 controller, because I'd heard whispers that it was a bit better in some ways than the gen1. I collect controllers, and happen to really like the way the Ouya pad feels, so I'm hoping this one survives its ordeal this weekend and I can give it a proper go.
