I wouldn't mind it so much if the controllers were a third of the price they currently charge, although getting a new controller all the time still means a lot of unnecessary trash and more of my time spent cracking open each replacement to pull out the microphones.
Walmart sells controllers with a $4 3 year warranty that they claim covers everything. I’m going that route this time and will see what happens in 12 months when it breaks.
The way it typically works is you go out aiming for a specific lifetime in button presses and study the ones that come back from QA after dying around that mark.
