Awesome bro you'll love it. I use my Switch controller on Steam n shit and it works pretty well honestly. Basically there is no reason to get consoles anymore which is a shame.
You could have Loctite or JB Weld that. This may affect the resale value, though people prolly wouldn't pay much for an OLD-OUTDATED laptop that's pulling itself apart. Cheap no-QA all Made-in-Gyna shit today. Where are the oldschool Chinese manufacturers? Funny how cheap shit in the past lasts longer. I see this all the time with happy meal toys at garage sales. Old toys had weight and moving parts. You could peg someone in the head and cause a welt.
