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.

    Yeah, I should have put a finer point on the thinner switches part.

    Ounce for ounce the best switches are made today, but they can also make thinner switches and thinner controllers than before.

    A USB joystick with the thinnest membrane switch of today is not going to last as long as some of the old overbuilt mechanical switches.

        Logitech has had a rough few years with double clicking and sensitivity problems. Some of the high end Logitech mice in 2020/2021 were so sensitive that moving them normally could result in a right click just by squeezing the sides. I guess they fixed that mostly at the driver level which results in some right clicks not registering now.
