Just bought a Microsoft official Series X controller so I could enjoy cloud gaming and use it to play stardew valley on my pc. I can already feel the Joystick on this thing slightly falling a part. Like, i think in a few months i might have some real problems with this thing.
Kind of bullshit considering it was damn near 70 dollars. 360 controllers did not feel cheap like this.
I mean you're still correct on the price, controllers are more expensive now than they're ever been, without losing their disposable nature. At least back in the day you could get a new DS2 for like 10-20 bucks. Having an Xbox controller fall apart in your hands after spending somewhere between 50 to 100 smackaroonies stings.
Definitely stings. Will agree with you on the DS4 though, i dropped that thing plenty of times and it didn't break. MS controllers nowadays literally fall apart as you use them within the first year.
