   Both of my 10+ year old wired Xbox 360 controllers are suffering from drift :( Anyone have a recommendation for another good wired controller?

     @sinbad Oooohhhhh, see this is why I ask. I saw their controllers but wasn't sure if they were quality, but if you're vouching for them I might pick up one of those instead.

     @fuzzybinary Caveat: I’ve only used the wireless version not the wired one but they’re generally known for decent builds

     @sinbad Wired is hopefully simpler. I think so long as they don't drift after a year I'm good. The 360 controllers are the only controllers I've had "recently" that didn't drift (though they do now after like 10 years, which... you know, is better than my Switch controllers that drift after 6 months)

     @fuzzybinary yeah - most of 8bitDo’s modern lineup use Hall Effect sticks which basically never drift (barring physical alignment issues)

     @sinbad oh and holy crap you weren't kidding about the price... I knew they were cheaper, but I didn't realize they were HALF

     @fuzzybinary they won’t feel quite as weighty & solid as the old 360 ones, but then neither do the new Xbox One controllers
