Vent: I tried the $70 controller and went back to my beat-up old one
Look, I get the hype around those fancy pro controllers with the back paddles and trigger stops. My buddy let me borrow his for a week while mine was charging. I used it for Hades and some Mario Kart with my cousin in Austin. It felt nice at first, but after 3 days my hands started cramping. The grips are just a little too wide for me. Went back to my 6 year old controller that has the left stick worn down and a slight drift if you push it up-left. Honestly, the drift is annoying but the shape just fits. Anyone else shell out for a premium pad and end up regretting it?

Watching people drop 70 bucks on a controller just to get hand cramps is my favorite kind of buyer's remorse. I did the same thing a couple years back, got one of those fancy pads with the paddles, used it for maybe two weeks, then went right back to my old one with the sticky A button. There is something about a broken-in controller that no amount of money can copy. The worn down stick and the little creak in the shell are basically part of my muscle memory at this point. New gear is cool and all, but my hands already know where everything is on the old one.
