it's possible but the controller won't just sop working from not being used
what could happen is the rechargeable batteries will not be able to be charged if the controller is not charged for several months , or if the controller is left where it can get dusty , moisture inside or have insects crawl into it then it can fail from getting moisture damage etc.
if it is new and in a sealed container then it will be fine for several months
like all batteries rechargeable ones only last so long , so if left for 2 years they won't charge again even if the controller had never been used , they would eventually corrode and dry out
