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.

              Could be they started cheaping out after the console launches since those launch controller units are the ones reviewers were going to be looking hard at. Yeah, i definitely meant more durability wise when i was referencing the 360 controller.

              Glad you've had a better experience than me though.

                      Yikes, if you're doing worse than Nintendo in controller quality control right now, you have some problems with your shit.

                      I've heard of 8bitdo. I mostly use my controllers for the Xbox cloud service and my steam games. So a controller that's mainly desighned for PC anyways would probably better for me honestly. Ill check them out next time im in the market for a controller instead of picking up an official Sony or Microsoft controller

      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

        I'm left handed and vastly prefer asymmetrical sticks when I have to use both sticks

      The 360 d-pad remains my least favorite d-pad ever. One big, shitty face-button to command every direction, oof.
