why are first party controllers so shit

>xbox has mechanically flawed face buttons that don't register inputs
>dualsense gets stick drift in like 6 months if you use l3/r3
>switch pro is only good for switch

you buy a console/controller knowing you'll eventually have to replace your soon to be defective controller. why is this allowed?

        I dunno. I guessed it had latency issues because it's a wireless controller.
        Does it? Not enough for me to notice. Beat Elden Ring with it. Played some Celeste. Currently beating TOTK with it. I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.
        other than these buttery smooth hall sensors.

          almost all hall-effect sensors are marketed towards tendies, whether on controllers marketed for switch or for all-purpose controllers heavily themed after nintendo (8bitdo)

                Your PS5 controller handles it because you're using Steam as an input-wrapper, and it still has to translate those calls to Xinput in one way or another.

                These things usually show up as Xbox controllers or Switch Pro controllers depending on whether you're using native Xinput (and thus analog triggers) or not. They're not first-party, they're purpose built to an existing console. They *can't* show up as their own thing without a specific mode for it.

    My dualsense has been just fine and dandy for 2 and a half years. My xbone x controller on the other hand has some insane stick drift.
    Although I will say the haptic feedback on my dualsense stopped being functional after less than a year, all of the shit they put inside of them is just garbage. Thankfully it's worthless, pointless rumble motors.

    Modern potentiometers sucks and made with cheap plastic. Even the PS Pro controller has replaceable thumb sticks because of how garbage they are and refuse to use Hall Effect sticks. Face it, you are actively being scammed at this point if you aren't using Hall Effect sticks with modern controllers Old controllers have a better build quality and even old PS3 controllers use hall effect sticks..

      That's probably the only way Xinput will ever actually improve is if Microsoft updates their fricking controllers to support "meme features" they won't be caught dead with unlike the other consoles. Too busy patent-trolling Valve over back paddles to implement them in their own controllers though, and they can't sell you those as an "elite" feature on their overpriced top-shelf controllers if they do that.

        It started with all that SCUF shit and MS not shutting it down day 1 when people were macroing moronic button combos and destroying any semblance of all that "MLG" shit they were also putting millions into for halo and cod.
        No reason to learn to play halo when you can macro a jumpshot to a paddle, or quickscoping on cod.

    Havent had a problem with my PS5 yet but its a wait and see for me.
    I got nothing against the xbox controller and it has been working for ages, the only thing bad about it is that its for the xbox or pc.
    The switch is the real problem, 3 joy cons set with drift that i had to “fix” and one pro with drift that I can’t fix later and i do wish nintendo got an actual lawsuit going against them.
    First time i ever had to buy a 3rd party controller that is more reliable than the original thing.

      issue is they lost the lawsuits that did start and the precedent is now completely and totally fricking obliterated and they'll never be forced to pay out for it. Nintendo learned from the N64 lawsuits that they DID lose, and will likely never lose one again.
      That's been my #1 reason in not buying a switch honestly. I had the money set aside and finger was on the trigger when a few months after launch ALL those reports of drifting started coming in, not just minor, but insane drift on the left joycon and I noped right the frick out. Maybe one day, but not any day soon.

        It’s baffling, the joy cons feels like shit to use already anyway but both of them drift no matter what you do.
        You think you are safe with the pro but no you get drift there too.
        Honestly the whole console is a poor hardware way past its expiration date that has some really good games held hostage.
