My Xbox 360 controllers are still in use. Meanwhile, I've resigned myself to never using any PlayStation controllers for more than three or four years.
AA and AAA batteries are great. I wish using them weren't considered a negative by many hardware reviewers.
You can get replacement parts for PS controllers, although they can be rather fidgety to open up.
Yeah, I tried fixing the wand controllers for PSVR, ordered batteries from AliExpress. It took an hour to get everything done, and I was constantly scared I'd break something. That was a few years ago. Now they are back to not working; I'm not sure if I can even still get the batteries.
