I'd say the PlayStation controllers have been the most improved in terms of quality and tech. But Xbox has always been my personal preference as a regular use controller. They perfected it with the Xbox 360 controller and that is what I would recommend for non competitive single player experiences. Especially when you're putting hundreds of hours into certain games.

Xbox needs to improve on the triggers. Constantly feel like my fingers are being pinched when pressing on either side.

Am i the only one who complain about the Xbox controller face buttons for not responsive properly? I actually need to press the whole surface of the button to make it works unlike with the PS5 controller when i only need a slight touch on the button.
