It was a fad in the 90s that eventually passed.

Good question.

Why weren't there any DS or PSP designs like that? Can't have been that expensive to produce.

There's an official see-through Dualshock 4

I heard that clear/see-through plastic is less durable/weaker.

I have it. Only the top face is see through. It'd be better if the led shined through the whole controller but it doesnt.

I want to open it up and break something so it does.

Not sure if it's an urban myth but I heard the transparent plastic acys as a sort of incubator / greenhouse and isn't as good at letting heat escape, leading to overheating problems with more modern technology.

Honestly most of them were lame, the GBC was one of the few that looked particularly good see through.

>>331232075
IMO it makes them look cheap.

Just like the condom you put on me with your mouth
But that doesn't stop you from doing it

The real question is why did Matte fade away? Glossy black looks like shit and attracts fingerprints like a motherfucker.

>>331232075
People realized it looks like shit.

That's not funny or edgy. If you can't come up with a reason to defend your posit, just shut up. You're just embarrassing yourself.

That's made for prisons and clear so things can't get smuggled inside it.
