Just bought a Microsoft official Series X controller so I could enjoy cloud gaming and use it to play stardew valley on my pc. I can already feel the Joystick on this thing slightly falling a part. Like, i think in a few months i might have some real problems with this thing.
Kind of bullshit considering it was damn near 70 dollars. 360 controllers did not feel cheap like this.
I never had problems with mine, that’s just my anecdote though. If those were considered bad by the majority, then I can’t imagine how people feel about the Xbox One controllers and this new Series X/S controller. The thing feels light as air and like it could fall apart at any moment.
my ~1 year after launch one feels considerably lighter than my 360 pads, and if i run my fingernail over the plasic it sounds “more hollow” if that makes sense
the plastic also feels noticably shittier
i got it brand new with a console
I got it directly from gamestop brand new. IDK, this is just my experience. It feels light to me compared to other controllers but that’s relative.
If it does break on me, ill just call customer support and see what I can work out with them.
Also horrid for a lot of left handed people with the asymmetrical analogue stick layout.
As a left handed person it’s why I probably leaned to PlayStation as a kid
They’re trying to make you buy a second one
Still have a third party wired 360 controller that I got as a spare when my 360 was new. It sits proudly plugged into my PC. Some of the rubber has come off the sticks, but otherwise the damn thing is in great fighting form.
Meanwhile I had to repair my brothers Series X controller by blowing into the RB as they’re really prone to jamming up from a tiny bit of dust.
Now buy a pickup
