I use a modded PS5 controller on PC. I've found for most purposes, clone-binding R4 to Cross/A and L4 to Square/X is good enough, as that allows me to crouch and jump while also running and turning with the thumbsticks. But it'd be really cool if I could remap these buttons steam-side, instead of needing to clone an existing button controller-side.

The Xbox Elite V2 was one of the worst purchases I ever made. Left stick drift and a sticky LB about 60 days after purchase, when the warranty was for only 30 days. They just recently started selling replacement parts but I feel it's too little, too late.

I used to get drift on EVERY Xbox controller in less than a year. The kids got older and started dropping them on the floor less, and lo and behold, my controllers last years without any drift. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I kept mine in the case when not in use 😪 I have original ps2/3 controllers that still hold center. The sticks feel terrible, but they work.

Where as I brought one Amazon open box returns for half price and it didn't develop any drift until three years down the line which is understandable giving how many hours a day I play. Seems either I got lucky or you unlucky.

There were enough reviews warning me that this was a possibility, but I usually get lucky on these kind of things. Plus I liked the feel/design. I still use the elite as my main gamepad, but I find myself using kb+m more often on games where I prefer a gamepad. I really want to get something else, but can't justify buying another premium controller right now. This thread has shown me some options that I wasn't aware of. And for sure I will be double checking the warranty next time!

Same issue, at one point I had two of and cycling warranty replacements on both (they bumped it up to 1 year).

I recently got the white version which doesn't come with the additional accessories (I had a ton already from all the warranty replacements). It's been holding up a lot better than my older black Elite 2s.
