Am I the only one who dropped $60 on a Pro controller only to go back to the basic one?

Bought a fancy Xbox Elite controller six months ago for $150 because I thought it'd make me better at shooters, but Ngl I just ended up hating how heavy it felt and now it's gathering dust while I use the standard one that came with the console, has anyone else had buyers remorse on a premium controller?

I dropped $70 on a Razer Wolverine last year because I wanted those extra buttons for Fortnite. The thing felt so heavy and clunky in my hands after two days that I actually got wrist cramps from using it. Now it sits in a drawer while I use the basic controller that came with my Xbox. So yeah, I totally get the regret. Sometimes the expensive stuff just misses the mark for how we actually play.

Did you try swapping the thumbstick caps for the taller ones @taylorcarr? I actually loved my Wolverine because the weight made it feel more sturdy and the extra buttons saved my gameplay.
