Wireless Controller

Honestly I've had about 1 Elite series 1 controller and about 3 Elite Series 2 controllers. They ALWAYS lose the grip or get stick drift. There was not one of them who didn't lose the grip between the first couple months. Even a regular controllers have lasted longer. I can't believe I wasted $1000

man I have a $50 dollar controller than has TMR sticks and Hall Effect Triggers no way am I buying a officially licensed Xbox controller even for pc

Controllers must have "designed for xbox" label on them. Otherwise you can not connect any controller to your XB. U should buy anything that supports Xbox which is a bit expensive compared any other controller..

Xbox controllers have none of the features by the RPi to work (adaptive triggers, haptic feedback, controller audio). They're pretty basic, especially for the price. Otherwise, the DualSense works through BT. Besides, XB controllers already have an (overpriced) dongle, sold separately.

and somehow its still cheaper then the Xbox wireless controller with rechargeable battery and a USB dongle that can overheat if you put it in the back at your exhaust, without sales

That isn’t all to fair. You put in the Xbox elite. The Xbox controller is 65 bucks. https://www.xbox.com/en-US/accessories/controllers/xbox-wireless-controller#black
