  • Actually that specific model of controller has been around for like 15-20 years and is pretty solid, especially the wired version the f310.

    When I was in high-school our FRC team used them, and I remember the analog sticks usually lasted for quite a while considering they where getting hammered every night during practice season, and abused during competition. They got shipped, thrown, tossed around, and even got a little percussive maintenance once and a while.

    Try that shit with a genuine Nintendo Joycon and get back to me.

    The reason its cheap is the same reason it works so well. It really hasn’t changed all that much since they introduced the design like 20 years ago. Its basically a ps2 controller with Xbox face-button glyphs, analog triggers, and a USB cable.

    Honestly I think the only reason they updated it in 2010 was for xinput compatibility.
