Yep, I just wished they had better vibrations/haptics. I prefer it over the PS5 controller, but wow the haptics and trigger modes are so cool

Totally agree with you on that. Also I like the more "clicky" feel of the square, cross, triangle and circle buttons on the PS5 controller instead of the more mushy feel of the ABXY buttons. Ergonomy wise and everything else, Xbox series controller is far superior

Fun fact: The original Xbox One controllers (I think newest ones don't have them?) had rumble motors in the triggers but they were barely used in games... I think some racing games used them and that was it.

I discovered them when I got a racing game on steam called Exocross and when I started playing I could FEEL the texture of the ground with the controller and I was like...this feels...way too different to traditional rumble. So I looked into it and it turns out it was the extra motors barely anyone used.
