This initially sounds horrible, but really is it much different from just typing in the details? Result is the same.

My concern is buying a used controller with this. How would I be assured my credit card details arent being stolen bc the guy on facebook marketplace “made some adjustments”

If the controller is storing the details then yes that’s a big problem. I would hope it would just put the details in RAM long enough to send them and either the memory gets overwritten or all the memory is erased when the controller is off.
