<human>: Objective: How can I keep my controller from powering down when I'm not using it?

Which of the following solutions is more sound in terms of naive physics reasoning?

OPTIONS:
- Put a rubber band around it so an analog stick is being pulled to the side, so it thinks it's still in use.
- Put a rubber band around it so an analog stick is pulled completely off, so it thinks it's still in use.
