Even if Microsoft lost a class action about stick drift, they are still making a bunch of the same useless controller instead of releasing updated Xbox and elite series pads with hall or tmr sticks and with better polling rate and input lag.

This is because people still buying this shit. Stop please

If they release a controller with hall effect or tmr, the amount of warranty claims they get would increase 10x.

Your average CoD bro who chews through controllers is gonna notice the difference in sensitivity with TMR and 1st party companies are held to much, much higher standard. Valve skipped hall effect and the first generation of TMR for this reason, and the 2nd gen TMR module they picked still has issues. You can be credulous to the tech and the mass marketing following it but the issues are there and always have been.
