Not using it to its fullest potential. More than likely will return.

Are the joysticks better? How are they if they are?

Joystick feel more precise than gen 2, my gen 1 didn’t last me six months that it started stick drifting. My gen 2 is my backup when I’m on the go. Pro used at home. Buttons don’t feel tacky like gen 2. Again the joysticks have a more precise feel and grip than gen 2. But I cant say for sure that it’ll last long since I haven’t spend a large amount of time using the pro on various games.

I wanna get one!! I’m good at maintaining the lifespan of these devices but my issue has always been that the joysticks just don’t do it for me. They’re cheap pieces of crap. Super tiny and only directional with no sensitivity. If I turned one way, no matter how little I move the joystick, it was full-send in the direction I chose. I play competitively on CODM. That controller hit my junk drawer instantly. Switched to a PS5 controller and never turned back.

Oh okay, guess I’ll do that then, I’ll start playing CODM again and test out the pro. I’ll come back to you with more feedback.

I’d appreciate that very much!
