I still have my original one from however long ago it was when they came out (10 years or so maybe?) and it’s still working perfectly well. It’s outlasted pretty much all my other controllers, except for the red PS4 controller which mysteriously refuses to die.
I’ve got three, ranging between 8 and nearly 10 years old, with the oldest one seeing exponentially more use than the others, and they all still work flawlessly. I tend to put hundreds of hours into a handful of games, but I don’t use them every day, if that helps quantify my usage a bit.

How is durability on the original one?
I’m sick of all my controllers getting joystick drift and needing replacement every few years.
