It's less precise for sure, but I feel like the ones I play typically ask less of you in terms of raw accuracy than first person shooter games, and the non-shooting actions feel better with a pad. I vastly prefer Resident Evil & Control with a pad after spending time with both options.

Failing that, any other 3rd person action game or 2D game will feel better with the controller than kbm

if you get a controller with gyro its pretty accurate desu
that does mean you have to waggle the thing around which is annoying compared to just using a mouse

Literally anything that's not an RTS, first-person shooter, point and click, or certain puzzle games that would be better off with a pointer than a mouse. The overwhelming majority of TPS games are also designed and developed around using controllers while sometimes taking advantage of auto-aim.

Rockstar games are pretty much entirely built around auto-aim. In RDR for example Dead Eye serves no true functional purpose on PC and the birds in RDR2 are intended to be snapped to with LT/L2 and then shot immediately because they're extremely hard to spot otherwise as they blind into the environment. Many of the challenges in RDR2 also ask you to essentially run around snapping to heads which is why they want you doing it without being damaged or being shot more than two or three times.

There's also cases where the UI is just objectively better with controllers. Wuthering Waves is the most recent example I have where controller UI is smooth and also makes the UI visually better by hiding clutter whereas MKB UI has hotkeys in really awkward spots, UI elements requiring you to drag your mouse around the screen, having to hold Alt to access manual mouse movement to quickly click some menu buttons instead of flicking your stick once, etc. The only time MKB has ever been good in WuWa is specifically regarding the TCG minigame, that's one where MKB is so much better and faster it's insane.

some games won't control better are still better to play socially if your friends also have a standard controller

Hopefully it isn't pic related or you'll be replacing it in 2 months due to stick drift and broken triggers.

First party has been dogshit for the last 10 years. They purposely use faulty potentiometers in the sticks that are guaranteed to start drifting after 3-400 hours of use, no matter how clean your hands are or if you put your shit in a plastic bag after every use, no amount of precaution will save your sticks from eventual deterioration. They refuse to use hall effect or TMR modules that are immune to drifting.

No. Dualshock 4, DualSense, Switch Pro Controller, or one of the higher end (Read: $60) Gamesirs. Xbox controllers not only got worse after the 360 era but they do not come with gyro at all which many games natively take advantage of. The Elite controllers are so bad they are an enormous waste of money, and even though Sony's own answer to the Elite in the Edge is a complete and utter waste of money it still generally holds up better than an Elite with less issues and more features. First party controllers nowadays tend to have issues with stick drift thanks to everyone cheaping out on them which is why more people recommend third-party ones nowadays.

The only reason Xbox controllers are "better" is because Xinput is the standard for everything and it's literally plug and play for every game. Games since late gen 8 have been featuring Direct Input (A much better standard of input) more and more out of the box so generic controllers, Nintendo controllers, and Playstation controllers work natively, but it's still not as common as native Xinput support so you sometimes need to use SteamInput or something like DS4Windows/DualSenseX to convert to Xinput for some games.

Things aren't like they were back in the day with Madkatz. Gamesir controllers, 8bitdo controllers, and other third-party controllers are on par with first-party controllers and have been since at least Covid, maybe a bit earlier, because they come with TMR/Hall Effect sticks to prevent stick drift issues, they're typically compatible with official hardware out of the box (Switch is a bit fussy with what can wake the system or not), they're almost always Xinput-based, and they usually have back buttons which a lot of people (Not me) like.

It's not like you picked badly, the Xbone/Series controllers are still fine if you're not planning on using gyro or just want out-of-the-box compatibility with no hassle and they're like $40ish so don't really beat yourself up about this because it's still a perfectly valid controller choice. When you want to get into more controller-rich features like gyro, back buttons, ergonomics, or haptics that's where the Xbone/Series controllers start showing their downsides.

If you ever do look into newer controllers then I'd go to a store (Assuming you're in America) and see if they have a PS5 demo unit to feel the DualSense because I can't go back to the DS4 ever since using it due to how comfortable and weighted it feels. Switch demo units are everywhere but I don't know how common a Pro Controller might be in your state or country, however with the Switch 2 release it might be easier to find now.
When it comes to third-party controllers generally you're looking at something like the Gamesir Cylone 2, the Flydigi Vader 4 Pro, or if you want to get into a cheaper $20 range the 8BitDo Ultimate 2. Third-parties generally knock off all three controllers into one amalgamation of a controller with good features from each, and they also have support for Android, Switch, Direct Input, and Xinput typically through a button combo or a manual switch/button.

Keep in mind that with official controllers you should plan for an eventuality where you might need to swap out the sticks with TMR or Hall Effect sticks because even with the Switch 2 they're still cheaping out on it.
