I've put hundreds of hours into my controllers and never had any break. I wouldn't expect the elite controllers to have better quality.

Back then, kids had better sense of what could harm them. Including the yardstick.

You're overthinking this by a lot. Pillows are such personal things, only you know what you're willing to pay for what type suits you.

Imo, and only after I have spent $600 in 2 years on different pillows, just stay with he box store options. Maybe not the $7 pillows, but $20ish. Don't fall for gimmicks, I tried cooling pillows (polyester cover on a regular polyfill) , adjustable cluster pillows (literally filled with foam trash), memory foam (too hot, hard, and odd to roll over), feather/down (too thin for side sleeping) and a few others. What I, personally, found is that an extra firm polyfill $20 no gimmick pillow from target is 1000% more comfortable for me (135lb side sleeper). I can roll over without having to readjust it or wait for foam to reshape, and when it gets flat in 8 months I'm only out $20. I do like to have an extra plush/soft pillow on the bed just for sitting up reading, but that can be any old cheap-y. Hope this helps, good luck!

My husband LOVES The My Pillow. Also his brother thinks they're amazing and replaced every pillow in his house with them.
Me, not at all. I just don't find them as comfortable as my feather pillows. (And my husband keeps trying to trick me by switching out my feather pillow with The My Pillow. I can tell the difference immediately.)
Seriously, everyone has their own preferences. What one person loves, another might not.

THEY don't have a serious problem with carpal tunnel or anything yet, that's why I'm looking to get them a wrist brace to help prevent it before it happens.

The battery on these can be replaced so that can extend the life somewhat and you don’t need the app to connect and use them. You can update the firmware with the app though.

I have the WH-1000XM3 headphones, I love them and they are still going strong after several years of nearly daily use. In that same amount of time prior I went through about 4 pairs of wired Sony earbuds. I really liked the earbuds but the wires seemed to always break inside from the constant use.
Not sure about the 5 but the 3 you can replace the battery with some effort. The original battery is showing no issues so far.

If you like firm, thick pillows, cotton filling is the best deal. Firm, cheap, and infinitely more durable than any polymer fill materials. Ideally buy pillows slightly larger than your pillow cases for truly bulging tautness.
The first pillows I ever bought were cotton-filled, and I wish I had never replaced them. They stayed with me for many years, and retained their shape. The polyester-filled replacements I bought were completely worn down after less than a year.
Mind you, the general recommendation for spine health is that you shouldn't life your head too high. But I can guarantee you, your pillow choice won't save your neck anyway. Exercise, posture, and an animated daily routine are the only true deciding factors of your orthopedic health. Just pick a pillow you like sleeping on.
If you prefer softer pillows, down or memory foam will treat you well.
If you want to go test pillows, make sure to find out your mattress firmness grading, so you can compare it on a similar mattress in a boutique. Apparently that influences how pillows feel quite a bit.
