Have you tried the Xbox One controllers? If so, what do you like better about the 360?

I have, I had the day one 2013 controller, it was nice but it developed drift quite fast, and also is harder to repair

Sorry to keep asking questions, but what is harder to repair? Swapping the sticks? I've worked on so many JoyCons at this point regular sized controllers don't bother me much

The trigger on the xbox one controller is loose and easy to take off, and it has a spring on it that flew off and I lost upon disassembling it. The 360's controllers will remain completely function even without any shell, but are also able to be disassembled.

IIRC swapping sticks is the same on the two

Not op but the 360 controllers a tiny bit smaller, thumbsticks are shorter and wider which makes aiming easier imo

Interesting. I don't have the biggest hands (fuck the Duke) and I didn't notice the size difference. I don't think I could go back to a 360 controller. The XBOne feels like the final form
