I'm used to Elite Series 2/Core controllers now, so I wouldn't buy a controller without back paddles. I would also only upgrade my controller for one with Hall Effect joysticks (that still have adjustable tension...I can't go back to how loose the default sticks are). Swappable rechargeable batteries would be nice too. I don't care about haptics or motion controls; maybe they'd be cool, but they seem gimmicky, and would waste the battery. And haptics as speakers is just stupid.
They're doing way too much to up the price of the controller without doing the obvious thing that would make it last longer (Hall Effect sticks). Idk what exactly they mean by "modular" sticks. Does that mean easily replaceable? I wonder how much the replacements would cost. Or does it mean just changing the top part of the stick, like on the Elite controllers?
Basically I just want an Elite Series 3 with Hall Effect joysticks and replaceable battery.
