Just got my Wiiu and loving it.
This morning I got up early and played a round of BLOPS 2 in the dead silence of the morning.
And I noticed that the thumbsticks make an aweful crackling sound when you move them slightly left and / or right.
Its louder on my right stick than left and occurs in almost all directions on this side.
It doesnt happen all the time and so I guess the sticks are not meant to make this noise....it sounds like the spring inside might be causing it...
Does anyone else have this issue.?
If your going to test it out turn the volume off on the tv and controller.
Thanks.

I think I know what you're talking about. Either way, I wouldn't worry about it.

So maybe a build feature? Though If it happens on others then I wont worry about it.

No it happens without pressing the clickys on the thumbstick.

Yep...im lovin this thing but geeeesh...Nintendo are becoming cheap!
There are those of us who would pay extra to enjoy quality products.
My original 3ds had some minor build flaws but I was happy with its solidity, my 3ds xl feels really cheap and crackles louder than rice bubbles and now after 2 days the gamepad takes the lead....
Thumbsticks squeak and crackle out of the box but boy ohhh boy when I press down on the start button it sounds like Im breaking the plastic gamepad shell. Now I know when you move the controller about it seconds as a rattler (lol - try it if you have a young child) but pressing down on the gamepad surface anywhere near and/or around the start button also produces the same results....including the right most side of the screen.
My gamepad is a noisy peice of kit and it detracts from my overall experience with WiiU.
