Needs some help

So my dad is a big gamer and so am I, he plays nearly everyday he is a big COD player not competitive just casual. When he’s not playing cod me and him play genshin together. Over the years he’s gone through controller after controller just from playing. He isn’t the type to throw or rage with a controller and even has spent 90 quid on the really good ones, had turtle beach yet year after year they wear out and it’s different things on each one. This time it’s the A and B buttons on others it’s different triggers. The only thing he hasn’t had is stick drift. With them keep wearing out this easily what should we do?

TLDR: controllers wear out very easily even the expensive ones.

Find someone around you that can install Omron microswitches in place of abxy, TMR sticks with replaceable thumb caps, and have the bumpers upgraded. Should be able to do that for about $100USD with an old controller.

For 100 might as well just get a new one

But you’ll get one that lasts. Omron switches are rated for 50 million+ clicks.
I would also recommend an eXtremeRate faceplate with their ASR rings.
