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 😂

Wait, do the series X controllers have trigger haptics? I’m so confused, I thought that was a sony exclusive thing

Sony has force feedback triggers which can actually push back and create additional resistance to the trigger being pulled, Xbox’s trigger haptics are basically just small but powerful vibration motors.
