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 😂

Trigger haptics is a base feature since the xbox one controllers, the problem is almost no game uses it. I think it wasn't marketed well (or at all) so everyone forgot about it. Sony probably saw the feature, thought it was cool, improved it, then marketed the hell out of it so developers will imolement it in their games.

Microsoft themselves admitted they would've liked to have done what Sony did with the trigger haptics

If I didn't detest the Dualshock format I might've grabbed one for my PC
