Xbox One S Controller Stick Tension?

Of all the ones you listed the Xbox 360 controller is the best quality by a landslide.

Sticks have higher tension and feel more accurate, the controller itself is at least 5x more durable and reliable.

Worst controller you listed would be the standard Xbox One controller. it's the least durable of all of them and lacks Bluetooth. Tension is also the lowest.

The Elite V1 is just a modified Xbox One controller so you get all the draw backs but amplified more by heavier sticks (aiming feels even less accurate thanks to that) Grips peel and like the launch X1 bumpers are known to break easily.

Xbox One S controller is better than the launch in pretty much every way. Higher stick tension, better durability and the addition of Bluetooth so you can use it wirelessly w/ your other devices.

Stick tensions:

Launch Xbox One: 60g

Xbox Elite V1: 60g

Xbox One S: 80g

Xbox 360: 110g

Personally I've had 2 Launch Xbox One controllers break (stick drift)

1 Elite V1 controller break (stick drift)

3 Hyperkin Duke controllers break (stick drift on all three, red one the triggers also malfunction and activate themselves)

Never lost an Xbox 360 controller and I was waaaaaaay too rough with them. I'm shocked that they're still alive. I pretty much baby all my X1 controllers and I've had bad luck.

It's unfortunate that we cant use Xbox 360 controllers on the Xbox One.

With that being the case your best bet money wise would be to go with an Xbox One S controller.

Personally though, I prefer the Hyperkin Duke in every way (incredibly comfortable, b&w buttons are way better than bumpers, sticks feel amazing, ABXY are nice and clicky unlike mushy X1 controllers.) but it's hard to justify $75 for a controller that lasts
3 months tops.

Tension should all by similar but if you are talking about sensitivity, that can vary. I play a lot of shooters so I often calibrate all my controllers via the device and accessories app or in-game options.

Hello David,

Thanks for coming to the forums. Indeed all the tension across all controllers is set up the same.

Thanks,

They all should be the same if you're talking about how much resistance you get when you try to move the sticks.

There's no reason to have them be different - if anyone says that I believe that's just personal opinion.

It is the same stick tension. Most games will allow you to personalize the setting in their options menu.
