Mine says "Builds Xbox controller collection gradually." I buy my husband a new controller about every 8 months because the sticks start to drift. Maybe it should say Xbox makes shit products.

You should look into TMR controllers, they are a lifechanger! No need to replace them.

... why do you keep buying a product that is very clearly shit?

It sounds like you're just feeding xbox controllers to your husband

Husband starts crying in the background

You should modify the controller or buy a third-party one with Hall-effect or TMR joysticks.
