Fx10 series also suffer from sticky soft-touch coating after about 1 year of use. Overall not good experience, but early parties were at least built robust enough, before Logitech dropped the gamepad business. But hey, meme controller!

Not F310, though. It doesn't have the soft-touch coating. F510 definitely does (mine was so bad that I scrubbed all of it off). F710 probably too, but I never handled one.

F310 is the underdog that just delivers. I have two, one of them is maybe15 years old. They just work.

F310 has horrendous dead zones. If you need to do anything that requires precision, avoid like a plague.

And they still make them! You can still buy F310 and F710 new. F51o, on the other hand has been discontinued shortly after release.

That's kinda true, although there is a lot of confusion as to when/how the dead zones manifest themselves.

I don't know man, I find them to be just fine..

I've never had any issues with my F310s, even the ones I pick up at thrift stores, so I keep buying them. Thankfully, Logitech reversed course and halted the discontinuation of the controller in favor of it's wireless offerings, so I buy them up whenever I come across them in a store, which is unfortunately not often at all, since many retailers dropped them from stores, in favor of wireless products.
