The elite controller hasn't even existed 5 years ago.
PC Game Controllers
Oh damn, you're right. I just had to check my Amazon history. It was January 2016. So I guess $50 a year. Still not a bad deal in my opinion.
I've tested out many and this is what I came up with user.
For 2d platformers and 2d games that need a nice dpad.

there's the Astro c40 controller for $200 bucks, yea kinda pricey but it has some cool gimmicks. Although, it doesn't use USB-C which is kinda retarded
Considering I bought my Steam Controller at about the same time I got far better mileage with more features out of it so far.
8BitDo SF30 or SN30 pro controllers are pretty rad, I personally use the SF30 pro
Is there anything the pad does particularly worse than analog?
You mean the touchpad? The right touchpad is generally better than an analog stick imo as both are mostly used for camera controls.
As for the left touchpad, I don't ever use it as a stick replacement, there is a left analog stick after all. I just use that.
Considering this.
Are the sticks and d-pad decent?

Sounds like you're being disingenuous and arguing just to argue. If a $30 difference is a tipping point in your budget, you shouldn't be spending that much anyway. I'd also argue that the braided cable, carrying case and multiple thimsbticks that come with the elite controller more than make up the $30 difference anyway. But let's be honest, you're only interested in posting memes and being disingenuous so it doesn't really matter what I say.
