Potentiometer (stick) operating life of 2 000 000 cycles is only about 139 to 417 hours of gaming (source). Standing out parts in tested controllers:
Microsoft Xbox One Elite controller shape, POV button shape, adjustable triggers, paddles.
Thrustmaster ESWAP S PRO swappable modules (sticks, buttons, mini-wheels), ABXY buttons - actuation 0.33 mm, travel 0.37 mm.
GuliKit KingKong 2 Pro hall effect sensors for sticks and triggers instead of potentiometers - no drift and short operating life problem. |

Precision and Quality Test Results
Precision and Quality Test Results • Measuring Equipment
Measuring equipment resolution • Distance 0.01 mm • Gram force 0.2 gF. Gram forces, actuation and travel distances of all controllers are very inconsistent. For example, Logitech bumper button actuates at 0.29 mm with 276.5 max gF and POV button at 1.14 mm with 135.2 max gF. Such inconsistency has negative impact on intuitiveness and makes it hard to compare controllers, because values are all over the place.
Calculations
Buttons and axes were measured and then averages were calculated, based on this grouping: Action buttons (ABXY), Bumper buttons, POV buttons, Stick buttons, Stick axes, Trigger axes. Button or Total averages with mentioned exclusion(s) of particular group(s) are averages of these groups.
Mouse vs Controller Axis Precision
|
|
* Logitech G604 mouse precision values are limited by measuring equipment resolution. Real mouse precision is far better.
|
* Logitech G604 Mouse * HERO 25K optical sensor (max DPI 25600)
Regular, small and precise value changes each 0.010 mm. Line deviation 0.05%
• Microsoft Xbox One controller • Alps Alpine RKJXV potentiometer
Small to large size value changes on average each 0.017 mm. Deviation 0.85%
• Sony PlayStation 5 • Alps Alpine RKJXV potentiometer
Medium size value changes on average each 0.050 mm. Line deviation 0.58%
• GuliKit KingKong 2 Controller • GuliKit hall effect sensor
Medium size value changes on average each 0.044 mm. Line deviation 0.41%
|
Axis step size: size of periodically occurring value change, when axis pushed in 0.01 mm steps, as % of axis active range (~32767 or ~65535).
Axis deviation: axis deviation from perfectly straight trend line as % of axis active distance (~5 to ~7 mm).
Axis spread: distance between axes as % of average axis active distance (~5 to ~7).

Position Tracking Sensors
These are the most popular types of position tracking sensors:
- Potentiometers measure position changes through electrical resistance variations as a wiper moves along a resistive track. They are the least precise but most affordable option.
- Hall effect sensors detect position changes based on magnetic field variations caused by moving magnets. They offer similar precision as potentiometers but don’t wear out because components don’t physically touch each other.
- Optical sensors use light to capture images and analyze differences between consecutive frames to determine movement and position. They are the most precise sensors among the three.
Given the high precision of optical sensors, their use in game controllers could significantly improve precision and enhance players' gaming experience.
Potentiometer (stick) operating life of 2 000 000 cycles ≈ 139 to 417 hours of gaming (source).

Actuation Distance
|
|
Actuation distance (mm): how far you need to push button or axis from initial position for value to change. It is better to have actuation distance as small as possible in hardware, if you can customize its size (make it larger) in software. Different actuation distances are not intuitive... like one LOGI controller button actuates at 0.29 mm and other at 1.14 mm.
Deviation (±mm): deviation from average. No deviation (0) would be perfect.

Actuation step size (%): size of first value change as % of axis range (~32767 or ~65535). For example, average first value jump size of LOGI stick is 6.4% (2088). Large value jumps are bad. Your car in game will make sharp throw to the side, instead of smooth turn. Sometimes you can fix that in software.
Average step size (%): size of periodically occurring value change (actuation step excluded) as % of axis range (~32767 or ~65535).

Max Pre-Actuation Gram Force
|
|
Max pre-actuation gram force (gF): max gram force before actuation. About 45-50 gF is required to hold natural weight of fingers. Exception is stick buttons, to avoid accidental press, while manipulating axes. If you need a lot of force to push buttons and axes, your fingers will hurt faster and more during and after gaming. Different gram forces of buttons or axes are not intuitive... like one LOGI controller button needs 108.8 gF and other 213.1 gF to actuate.
Deviation (±gF): deviation from average. No deviation (0) would be perfect.
