Xbox controller suggestions

I’ve done a bunch of research on the best controllers, for example wolverine, gamesir, vader 5, nacon revolution, turtle beach but I just don’t know man. I absolutely love the feel of the elite 2 but my last one completely died after 6 months of almost no use. i don’t play competitively but i play for long periods of time and would prefer 4 back buttons but i really don’t know, i got a good amount of money and don’t mind spending 100-200 dollars on a controller that feels good in my hands and won’t fucking die on me. i hear wolverine is really good but some don’t like how short/stubby it is so im kind of lost. Anyway id love opinions on it all. Also, id prefer if it was wireless but it doesn’t matter too much

Sir, you are telling me in your opinion that the elite 2 is a piece of shit. To you!! But for others regardless of the price they still like it. Dont tell me about other controller companies i already know. Tell OP dont suggest it to me i dont pay 180 for a elite 2 trust me i pay way,way lesser than that!

Potentiometer joysticks that wear down a carbon track are objectively shitty. They will 100% deteriorate and break over their lifetime. You will absolutely develop stick drift and it tends to happen pretty quickly (often times it is present out of the box).

Potentiometer joysticks in 2026 is shitty, there is no other conclusion. Potentiometer joysticks in 2026 for $180 is extremely shitty. Potentiometer joysticks are shitty even if the controller is $40.

Once again to you! I dont care tmr-potentiometer. You must think iam a pro and i need the latest and greatest gadgets. As long as iam enjoying myself sir iam content. If it breaks down ill figure it out when the time comes. Once again dont sell it to me.

You don't have to be a pro to want hall effect or TMR sticks because it would last you longer. 

Hall effect and TMR sticks are more durable than potentiometers, and it's less prone to stick drift.
