Does anyone have any recommendations for durable gaming controllers? I’ve had multiple Xbox and pdp controllers, but all of them have stopped working correctly after a year or two. It’s ridiculous. I have one no name controller that’s really old and still works but unfortunately I don’t know what brand it it.

    Assuming you’re using it on PC:

    I’ve had a Logitech F310 since they came out over a decade ago. It’s the oldest controller I’ve ever had and is sturdy as fuck.

    It’s not wireless, and doesn’t have rumble or anything fancy. It can, however, be switched between XInput and Direct so it works even with older games that don’t have modern controller support.

      As much as I love my f310 I wouldnt call it a buy for life. Mine has an issue with a d-pad that makes it so some dirt gets under it and messes with the controls.

      I lost more than one street fighter match because one of my direction buttons decided not to work

      The huge, built in axial and radial deadzone on the sticks are absolutely awful and made me regret getting the F310.
