In Destiny, go ham, turkey, and chicken with this controller.
I was looking for a new Xbox Controller because my previous one had a strange drifting issue that I assumed was due to normal wear and tear. I came across this controller on the Xbox marketplace and decided to try it out. When I first opened the box, I noticed that the bumber and trigger keys were significantly more durable than previous iterations. This one lacks controller grip padding, which may detract from the star rating for some. However, I have enjoyed using this controller for the month that I have had it. So, if you're looking for a unique controller, this is the one to get. It also comes with a semi-automated system. If you like it transparent, go for it. I'll keep you updated if anything happens.
It's a good-looking controller that does its job well. The vibes are fantastic. The controller is fantastic. One issue is that the analog sticks are uncomfortable; the controller that came with my Xbox had better analog sticks. That's the only thing about the controller that I don't like. (It could be that I'm still getting used to the controller. ) I strongly advise you to purchase the controller, and I would recommend it to anyone.
Quality is a major concern for me. I like the color of this gamepad, but I'm not sure how useful it is. It's a standard xbox wireless controller that I use with my computer, so I purchased the wireless transceiver from Microsoft as well as one of those built-in microsoft batteries (charge and play). br>br>However, I have serious reservations about the product's rigidity, durability, and quality. br>br>The left joystick click is shaky, with a double click effect. When you press on it, you'll feel and hear a small click before the real click, giving the impression that you've already clicked when you haven't! br>br>The Battery door is flimsy; if you press on it while it's locked inside the gamepad, it bends and makes a variety of noises. It moves slightly even if you just brush against it. Giving the impression that this item is not at all rigid. I'm afraid it'll be all over the place if just one person falls to the ground. br>br>On a few occasions, the gamepad has turned off unexpectedly while being used. When I check the battery in the windows xbox accessories software, it says medium battery, and on rare occasions, full. I keep playing and it goes on for hours, so I'm not sure if it's a transceiver issue, a battery issue, or a problem with the gamepad itself. However, since I purchased all of them as official Microsoft products, I'm just going to state the obvious: there is a flaw in their ostensibly "ecosystem" of gamepads. I have no idea what it is.
The Grade Aaa controller appears to be fantastic.
Seriously, how does a product like this get past Microsoft's testing? Although the controller performed admirably, I do have two issues. br>1) Oh, my goodness, the texture is revolting to hold. The "painted" effect is similar to sandpaper with a very fine grit. I'm returning it for that reason. 2) Using Bluetooth to connect to a computer is inconvenient. After that, unless you pull the batteries, there's no way to turn off the controller to avoid power drain. Even though the laptop shows that it is paired, it will not reconnect. You must first uninstall it from your laptop's Bluetooth settings and then reinstall it from scratch.
A controller that is defective. I've purchased two Xbox One controllers from Amazon, both of which have broken. The first within two months (right bumper stopped working altogether) and the second within two weeks (glitches so bad it freezes up and stops working even when the light is on, and even after you unplug and re-plug the battery). It's safe to say that buying a new controller from a local store is preferable to having one sent to you via Amazon. Both were almost certainly used and were simply labeled as new.
This controller has been in our possession for two months today. right- The button is broken (as have been reported by others). When you try to file a service claim to have it repaired under warranty, they will only send you a standard controller; Guys, don't pay a premium for this piece of garbage; my son plays it a couple of times a week as well. It's not like he has a lot of power. Every day, I spend countless hours gaming. 60 days of casual use equals a broken controller. This is typical Microsoft behavior. What the hell was I thinking? br>br>Number of controllers I had to replace over the course of 8 years with the PS2, PS3, and PS4: 0br>In the next two months, I'll have to replace the following number of Xbox controllers:.
