The red one had a broken back peice, broken joystick, plus a headphone jack stuck in it. “A victim of a friends major rage quit” The gray one has double controller drift plus an LT trigger than barely worked. Now I have a Frankenstein red controller.

The fact that you have multiple broken current gen controllers from which to source parts tells me that you don’t treat them very well.
Spoiler alert: >!fixing broken things makes them work!<
New Frankenstein, or The More Modern Prometheus
Jury rig perk plus high repair skill
Most controllers aren’t that hard to dismantle, so yeah it makes sense to Frankenstein them.
*Blinks in new Elite 2 controller.*
Wish I had the patience to do this. I have a controller graveyard of various different issues..
All controllers break far quicker than mice and keyboards
I burn thru X-box controllers. I have a Xbox controller graveyard. Like 5 broken controllers from the last 5 years. The longest lasting one I’ve had was some $30 3rd party one i got from gamestop. Its planned absolescense im sure of it.
…why do you have so many broken controllers?
Controller of Theseus
I highly recommend the Gamesir Hall effects controller, forget its specific name. For under 50 bucks you get a solid controller with back paddles. If a cord is a dealbreaker for you, sorry. It is wired.

It’s a good thing Apple doesn’t make game controllers, or it would refuse to work if you replaced any parts yourself.
