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 enjoyed the 360 controller immensely. It seems as soon as the Xbox One hit, Microsoft started cheaping out on the parts for the controllers. This is like the third time now i've started having problems with the left Joystick on a microsoft controller two Xbox One controllers and now this Series X controller. Hence why i made this topic.
I mean you're still correct on the price, controllers are more expensive now than they're ever been, without losing their disposable nature. At least back in the day you could get a new DS2 for like 10-20 bucks. Having an Xbox controller fall apart in your hands after spending somewhere between 50 to 100 smackaroonies stings.
Definitely stings. Will agree with you on the DS4 though, i dropped that thing plenty of times and it didn't break. MS controllers nowadays literally fall apart as you use them within the first year.
