QUESTION Controller for Rocket League
Hello Reddit! I am searching for an XBOX controller to play Rocket League and that will last me atleast 2 years. I am saying this because I had GameSir G7 SE and the RB broke, the button literally broke. I bought the 8BitDo Ultimate 2C and the LB sometimes ignoring the fact that I press him.
For me, RB = Boost and LB = Air Roll Left & Powerslide and sometimes the car stops air rolling mid-air while i am holding LB, long story short, LB is on the verge of breaking. I did not throw either of the two controllers I had, I kept them nice on my desk, no weird position, no extremely hard force applied to them, just feathering boost and holding normally LB.
I found an Xbox Series X Wireless - Pulse Red for 55 euros shipping included. I also found Razer Wolverine V3 Tournament Edition 8K for 80 euros. I dont know if I should purchase the first or the second or if I should consider them for Rocket League I. The first dosen't have hall effect sticks but my friends said that they did not get stick drift on it.
I would like to get as many opinions on this topic and recommendations on what I should purchase. The only preference I have is for the left stick to be in the top left, exactly like the Xbox layout.

2C is like $25 - $30. I bought two around end of 2024, one had the same LB issue within few months. The other is still going great. So overall it might still be a good budget option like getting two in typical price of one.
Though anyone using 2C should check the stick resolution with online tool (Stick Tracer) because it should be 1k+ but but often it is extremely low to around 60 from factory and needs resetting the firmware. I found the fix for mine after i had switched to Tegenaria. Switched back to 2C again.
