“The XBOX controller requires AA batteries and eats through them rather quickly”
“microsoft xbox wireless controller it just sucks even with kontrolfreeks, recoil is out of this world”
“The Xbox controller also uses standard AA batteries (I use Enloop rechargables) which is much more consumer friendly than the built-in proprietary battery found in the DualSense and DualShock 4”
“Don't think I've ever owned an official Microsoft Xbox Wireless controller that didn't get stick drift in a year or two. They're basically built to fail.”
“They are also solidly made and stand up to a bit of abuse. Another big advantage of a genuine Microsoft controller is that it is very easy to get replacement parts for them (such as thumb sticks or pots) if they do wear out.”
“Microsoft Xbox wireless controller. Can connect via usb cable or Bluetooth if your pc supports it. No issues so far.”
“I got it and plugged it in and the joysticks are completely wonky with their inputs, dead zones, and response times. I took it back and exchanged it for another one at best buy and the same thing happened again.”
“Sticks develop drift. I'd say any reasonable day to day use will give you pretty bad drift in 18 to 24 months.”
“I also have a genuine microsoft xbox wireless controller and i hate it so much.”
“Microsoft XBox wireless controller quality sucks balls. I've had numerous replacements, they seem to last less than a year before they become mostly unuseable.”
