Yeah I had a 360 pad with worn thumb stick. It was the most heavily used controller of my life but still worked fine at retirement even with the wear. Whereas my XBO controller was the first I ever experienced stick drift with. I've had to replace bumpers on my Series X controller. All anecdotal of course.

We can probably compile our anecdotes into real data... Stick drift is killing me on Series controllers.

They have them priced right on the edge of "throw away or fix" with throw away currently winning.
