Xbox One Controller will last ten years - Microsoft
Accessories and hardware manager for Microsoft, Bob Brown, told Pocket-Lint that the aim was to create a controller that would last ten years - the projected lifespan of the Xbox One.
Brown explains that when testing the Xbox One Controller, "each button gets pressed over and over, between 4-5 times a second," while the thumbsticks are also tested with repeated use.
The test determines not only how the controller can withstand vigorous button mashing, but also whether each button delivers the right result, regardless of how many times it has been pressed.
The controllers are also dropped repeatedly in order to determine shock points, and to ensure the inside is not damaged on collision.
The Xbox One controller has been finalised, however Brown says testing is still ongoing. Currently, the controller can handle over 3 million button presses, which Brown claims is over the target.

All of you people saying that you'll put it to the test (although I know you're being sarcastic) really shouldn't start complaining when they break, if video games make you angry enough to damage your own property then you seriously shouldn't be playing them!
