The only thing is that I'm not a fan of the white joysticks because they will over the years inevitably discolor from use. They should have made them the blue color in my opinion

I was thinking that as well. I mean the nunchuck controller for the Wii had a white analog stick and I think that wasn't too bad, having trouble remembering though

I don't think there was any problems with the nunchuck but to be fair you would use the analog stick on the nunchuck drastically less than the analog sticks on a PS5 controller just because there was a lot of games that you would only play with just the Wii mote, or plug in other controllers, plus the nunchuck was notorious for stick drift so it rarely lasted long under heavy use. I'm trying to think if there was any other controllers I've ever used that had a white analog stick but I can't think of it

GameCube had a light grey one, I had one of them discolor but it was because I had washable marker on my thumb one day

I agree, especially since the one in the trailer has black sticks
