the official ones cost like thirty something dollars, right?
and unless if you smash em, they'll probably last at least three times as long.
I remember one time I pushed the right trigger on a friend's third party 360 controller and the back part of the trigger (the part you push) got stuck inside the controller and the front part popped out. so, in practice, since we were playing cod 2, I couldn't stop shooting :/.
also, the aiming was terrible even before that, because third party controllers are just usually pretty terrible.
edit: I've never smashed a controller, though. if you can't resist the urge, disregard my advice xd
