I have a stack of new steam and stadia controllers in my studio. Both last for fucking ever. meanwhile xbox and playstation controllers fail after a couple of months.

Damn what are you doing that's destroying these controllers? I have controllers from Microsoft and Nintendo that are over a decade old at this point and still work with regular use.

The xbox one controllers I had developed stick drift after 6 months or so, series controllers held up better but I still ended up swapping to hall effect and more recently tmr sticks to avoid stick drift

Donno, it's always wireless or bluetooth related.

I do have a wired Xbox360 controller that's still kicking ass.
