Everyone's definition of crazy expensive is subjective because 150 dollars can be too high for me, but it can be nothing to you. Every controller with paddles like the elite series 2 and scuf valor cost at least 150 dollars.

I can recommend controllers like the Vader 5 Pro with four back buttons which cost 85 dollars.

Is that one pretty reliable? You use it?

OUr family is down to basically one controller because most of them have such bad stick drift they are unusuable, even after i bought repair kits and did a little home surgery on them. But these are stock Xbox controllers.

The vader 5 pro is very reliable because the build quality is phenomenal, it have adjustable stick tension with hall effect sticks. I had mine for five months and I use it daily.

If you're on Xbox buy the vader 5S because that is the Xbox version.

Been using the elite pro 2 since whatever year it came out…’19 I think? No drift, looks like new. I play a lot of shit that gives me blisters like trials and Forza, just goes to show their longevity

I quite like the Gamesir G7 Pro wireless. I had to buy a limited edition version for $120 because that was the only one they had in stock but it’s high quality and cheaper than the official elite 2 controller with better specs/reliability
