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.
N64 sticks (first modern joystick) actually used Hall effect switches. They basically could not drift as the sensor had no moving parts.
The springs would lose tension and the stick would become loose, but the sensor readings would remain accurate.
