Xbox Wireless Controller

“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”

“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”

“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.”

“Xbox Series controllers are very good and ergonomic, but I've had sticky triggers (worn rubber bumper) and stick drift with the original controller that came with the console.”

“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.”

“I’ve honestly never used anything other than the Microsoft Xbox controllers and I need to get a new one once a year or so but there’s nothing actually wrong with them.”

“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.”

“If only I didn't have to replace it once a year due to buttons misfiring and sticks not being accurate.”

“I have both systems and not only is it more comfortable to hold, but the button sounds are less obnoxious. The triggers on a PS4 controller are sooo loud.”

“an Xbox controller remains a safe and compelling choice, supported by years of ingrained muscle memory and broad OS-level compatibility.”

“I also have a genuine microsoft xbox wireless controller and i hate it so much.”

“controller wise, Xbox has always been my favorite (360 controller is still amazing, wish One controllers were as sturdy, haha).”

“The knurls on the edge of the Xbox One sticks feel okay but the divet in the middle is too sharp, and the stick is a little small. Meanwhile 360 sticks feel perfect in every way”

“I have the generic and I play an unhealthy and embarrassing amount of hours and it is still working good as ever. I also love that it takes aa batteries so I can just pop in a new set of eneloops when it dies and never have to plug in the controller.”

“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.”

“I've gone through 4-5 Xbox One controllers, and 3 Xbox Series controllers...90% of those controller deaths were because of broken LB/RB buttons.”

“The Xbox One controller is the best controller I've ever used hands down. So glad iOS allow us to use it now.”

“Both are good, but the DS4 has miserable battery life compared to the X1S controller+rechargeable AAs.”

“The controller that came with the console became bad after 11 months. That was the right stick which made 99% of my games unplayable.”

“the bumper buttons and triggers are much better, they feel smaller and tighter than the Xbox One”

“Doing well on xbox and then a couple of nights ago, boom, crazy upwards stickdrift because my son used it to play cod.”
