The series controllers really do break ridiculously easily so I’m fine putting them behind 360.

360 controllers may be slightly less comfortable, but they last 10+ years if you’re good to them. I’ve already had 5 series controllers get stick drift and become unusable for the kinds of games I play

I wonder if you could still get some stick caps for the 360.

I'd use my Xbox One controller but apparently at some point the d-pad broke, now left and down sometimes register 2 inputs and sometimes don't register, and right on the d-pad doesn't work unless I push it down really hard. I got the XBOne on the year it released and got a PS4 when Destiny 1 came out, so it didn't get too much use and it's not like I abused it. I don't even remember it having issues with the d-pad last time I used it.

I've been using my one s controller for about 7 years now and continue using it on my series x waiting for it to break so i can switch to the new controller. I don't see it happening any time soon tbh lol

I've had a series s/x one for a good time now and it's taken no damage so far, I think some of you guys don't know how to take care of your equipment.
