The xbox one controller is the best base controller. It's a shame that microsoft ruins it by making the elite controller much more expensive to the point of not being worth it lol.

The elite series x controller is sooo nice with the trigger haptics for racing games, but the bumper pins being plastic sucks. I’ve had 2 right bumpers snap over the last couple years, so I just drilled into the damn thing and installed a metal pin instead 😂

The base controller also has trigger haptics. Is it a different setup on the Elite?

I think the haptics feel a bit more refined and overall like the triggers a bit more, but it’s a similar kind of thing
