If you like the Xbox Elite Series 2, look for the Elite Core Series 2. It's the same controller without the accessories. You can get it for $99 and buy a third-party accessories kit for $20, saving over $60.

You forgot to mention the GameSir G7 SE. Hall effect triggers AND joysticks. Precision and no stick drift.

I've got three Microsoft Xbox One wireless controllers now. They all had to be repaired under warranty for stick drift and they have all since developed stick drift again after the warranty has expired. I don't want to be buying a new controller that frequently.

I will never buy a Microsoft controller again.

Why no mention of extended sticks or tall sticks in the summaries?

I bought the XBox Elite controllers for the specific reason that you could swap to taller sticks, and I rely on that when gaming. Since the Elite controllers I have are all failing (for various reasons), I am trying to buy new game pads with Hall effect sticks - but can't seem to find ones with swappable or extended sticks.

Having that information in a review like this would be super helpful.

(And yes, I'm aware of the PowerA Fusion Pro - I just can't stand all the RGB on the thing.)
