I’ve had my Razer Wolverine Ultimate for over 5 years, maybe even close to a decade now and have never had any issues. It’s wired but comes with a very long detachable usb to mini usb. The original wore out but replacement was super cheap. The thumb sticks are magnetic so you can just pop them off for cleaning or replacement.
It has all the features of an Xbox elite controller and once you rebind keys it stays on the controller so no need to keep a program around.
If this gets annoying enough for you or you want the extra paddles I highly recommend.
I’m really weird but when I see Yo-Yo Ma I think of The West Wing and a really great depiction of trauma and how it can manifest. Sorry to crash your funny post
