Yes they are that bad, I have 3 official controllers (one with dpad probs, second with triggers sticking, third with heavy drift), then I have 2 off brands (one with hardware issue that makes right stick and left stick react as one, second with non functioning left stick)… but wait theres more, I have 2 super expensive elite s1 controllers (one with a unresponsive spam click rb after 2 months, second is the replacement which rb became unresponsive and clickatee in 1 month among having a broken back paddle port) as well. Working on a XB elite series 2 now, so far been better than the series 1. My 15 year old+ 360 controller still works perfectly on PC though, so I'd recommend that, but doesn't work on Xbox One... all of that in the life time of one 25 dollar controller o.o Im not salty.
