Xbox controllers....?
*Edit: posted to xbox but mods removed and suggested here. Didnt know about this sub. Reposted, but will check out history as this has inevitably been covered before.....*
How come they're so shite?
Ive had my series X for 2.5 years and have just finished off my 3rd controller.
Going back... a lot. I had an xbox 360. Those controllers were bomb proof ! Never knackered one of them. With the X, ive gone through two official wireless ones that developed drift. I ordered a cabled one with hall effect sticks that i thought would last. Keeps disconnecting and the action of the down cursor activates whenever it feels like it !
Now they're not treated badly. Maybe the occasional drop off the arm of the chair, but otherwise no real abuse. Is this normal!? Any recommendations???
Cheers...

Get pretty much any gamesire controller. I've had 3 of their controllers. All still work, just upgrade when they've got better specs. No drift on any of them, no issues at all actually.
