My Gamecube and my four controllers still work like a dream. Tried to play some Smash on Switch with my friends - the drift was redonk. Did Nintendo hire Wildcatz to make those controllers?
Apparently the ps4/5, xbox, and switch all use the same brand of joystick that drifts after like 400 hours. My original Xbox One controller must've been before MS switched suppliers though cause it's not had those issues after 5 years of heavy use (there are other minor problems though, like shoulder buttons sticking slightly)
the switch pro controller doesn't have this issue and is my favorite modern controller, but it's a separate $60 purchase that doesn't come with the console so it's still shitty
I'm just glad they work so well with Steam because wired switch pro controllers are the cheapest ones I typically see and some (PDP Faceoff + Fightpad Pro, PowerA) are genuinely really nice feeling aside from the face button layout (which you can remap)
I can’t vouch for any of the third-party ones, just the Nintendo-made wireless pro controllers. Good to know the cheap ones are decent, we’ve come a long way from the Madkatz days of yore.

Feels like it. I'm using my GameCube controller right now to play Melee, works perfectly.
