Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 full model. Retails for $179 on sale for $145. Free shipping and returns directly from Xbox.
For those wondering what is the difference between this the "full" model and the cheaper "core" model:
"The primary difference between the Xbox Elite Series 2 Core and the regular (or full) Xbox Elite Series 2 controller lies in the accessories included and the level of customization available.
Xbox Elite Series 2 Core
• Accessories: The Core model is a more stripped-down version, and it only includes the controller itself along with a USB-C cable.
• Customization: It lacks the additional swappable components, such as extra thumbsticks, paddles, and D-pad options.
• Intended Audience: It's designed for gamers who want the basic features of the Elite Series 2 but may not need all the extra accessories or customization options.
Xbox Elite Series 2 (Full Model)
• Accessories: The full version comes with a range of extra components including:
• 6 thumbsticks with different designs
• 4 paddles
• 2 D-pads (standard and faceted)
• A carrying case, a charging dock, and a set of thumbstick adjustment tools.
• Customization: This model is meant for players who want to fully customize their gaming experience, offering maximum flexibility in how the controller is configured.
Both versions share the same core features like adjustable-tension thumbsticks, wrap-around rubberized grip, hair-trigger locks, and customizable profiles via the Xbox Accessories app .
In short, if you want more out of your controller in terms of hardware customization and included accessories, the full model is the better choice. If you're fine with just the essential features, the Core model offers the same performance without the extras."

Xbox and ps controllers all suffer from eventual stick drift and unless you're into soldering you won't fix it. Planned obsolescence

i don't understand if i'm just unlucky to get ones with manufacturing defects. I can't imagine spending $145 on a controller that is likely to get stick drift

Long and short ... each of the "big 3" manufacturers crank out junk controllers. Even adult owned, well cared for controllers will get drift and button stick. It's simply a function of how much you game, what types of games you play, and a bit of the lottery when it comes to how well the controller was put together at the factory. Of course, abusing your controller will accelerate the inevitable demise.
