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.
yep, it seems that everyone is using the same cheap potentiometers. the only solace I can find is that there is a robust aftermarket for these things and you can find plenty of people that will help you solder a brand new alps piece on an xbox controller and fix drifting
Nice! Do you have any links you can share on that?
not really, i meant "people with soldering savvy will pry open the controller for you and install a new potentiometer for relatively cheap" but if you're looking for the easiest semipermanent DIY fix available, the helder's drift fix mod may strike your fancy which is a tiny board that compensates for worn out potentiometers

Oh I'm not scared of soldering at all, my first job out of high school was assembling PCBs, just asking where I can find the parts
