So my old wireless Xbox 360 controller is kind of on its last legs, bad stick drift, thumbstick rubber starting to rub off, and I’m looking for a replacement. Would gladly just buy another 360 controller but they haven’t made them in years.
Got an 8bitdo Ultimate earlier this year and it has not lasted. Out of the box, the thumbsticks started losing sensitivity in one or two directions after a few hours of play, but I could get around this by messing with the deadzones in the software. Not an ideal solution, since it lowered the resolution, but it worked.
But now it’s got new and exciting problems that I can’t work around. Sometimes the B button won’t register at all. Sometimes the A button will press on its own. And my favorite, sometimes the entire controller just freezes and won’t accept any input for seconds at a time.
I had a coworker recommend a GuliKit but the face buttons are backward and that’s enough to put me off it.
Any advice?
Xbox One controller. I guess if you love the PS5 controller you could do that but i think Xbox One has better triggers by a long shot.
Edit: xbox one, xbox series, whatever the fuck it is lol. I think i bought mine when it was just xbox one
I find it deeply hilarious that nobody I’ve ever talked to knows the name of the current gen xbox without looking it up. Very good marketing.
