Sometimes I legitimately wonder what some of y'all do with the controllers to get them busted so frequently
I have the same Xbox pad for 4 years and Dualsense for almost 3 and they work perfectly. Sticks aren't as 'tight' as they used to be day 1, but that's just wear and tear from normal usage.
The only other controller I've bought since 2020 is the limited edition Starfield one, but that was more for collection's sake and because it looks so goddamn beautiful.
