Shield TV 2017 - Controller Residue

by Kaestlyn

Just got a shield TV for Christmas, and when opening the box I noticed the controller was very sticky feeling. I can see some sort of residue on the controller in places, anyone else have this/Is that normal?

I bought mine a week (or so) ago, and it was the same... I used it for a little while, forgot about it... and it isn't sticky anymore.

Just got mine and also noticed this. Seems to be a manufacturing defect. My first shield I bought last year didn't have this problem.

Mine was like that too, next day was all right. What a weird experience.

So who had their grubby little mitts all over your gift before they gave it to you?

Was the box still shrink wrapped when you got it..?

It's spunk.

Bit of a silly question though, why are people on reddit going to know? Send it back.
