I know the Series S gets panned by many a PS fan but honestly it is a very impressive little system. I have mine in my bedroom and I don't find the buttons any louder or quieter than any of my XBO controllers. Comfort is a personal thing and the weight of the controller is perfectly balanced for my tastes. Too lite and it can be tossed rather easily (not that Im prone to tossing them). Too heavy and it can be uncomfortable for prolonged sessions. Seeing as this is your first xbox, then you have no prior experience. You don't know the evolution of the controller from the old days of the Duke to the 360 pad to current. Each iteration has been better than the last.

If a controller with some heft is your style... get an Elite. Yeah they are pricey but oh so worth it. You may also find the offset stick layout weird at first but you get used to it really quickly and may even find it more natural. I say definitely play the games you downloaded and over time you may find xbox grows on you like it has done for many other PS only gamers that chose to give it a chance. I think that's fair, giving something a chance that you previously had reservations about. Enjoy it.
