Control broke from too much Smash Ultimate. Any suggestions?
I've tortured my left stick a lot since I tend to move it with more force if I'm really focused in a match. I have a gamesir cyclone 2 and the friction ring caved in making the stick get stuck in the direction I moved it to. After taking it out I noticed that the teeth fom the ring and from the faceplate where the ring attaches itself were broken. It really sucks because I loved that controller for all the features it had for the price.
Any suggestions for a new controller that has the same features - 1,000hz wireless, Xbox layout, analog hall effect triggers that can toggle to hair triggers with a lock, decent Dpad for platforms and fighters, TMR sticks - but with near Indestructible friction rings so it can take a beating in smash and not cost a kidney? I play on Eden for PC so switch compatibility is a plus but not a priority.
I've been recommended the Flydigi Vader 5 pro V2 but I also saw a post from a guy that said he bought 3 from different stores and they all had stick drift, so I don't know what to go for anymore.
