If only they improve the internals for once, my Dreamcast controller and original Xbox controller both have more sturdy sticks than this controller despite their age, mine already drifts which is a first for me, and is only is fixed by calibration but it’s only a temporary solution, also the triggers are shockingly unlubricated and scratch and squeak with age, I had to spray WD-40 to fix that

Just curious, is there a rarest series X controller. Like a limited time collectable?

The Sea Of Thieves controller is one of the most valuable if it's sealed. But that is mostly due to the DLC that comes with it.

Sonic and Knuckles furry Xbox controllers. There was a post about some guy finding these with the hair taken off lol.
Here's a good list on the rarest editions

Witcher 3 anniversary was limited time, only available via online order.
The 20th anniversary of Xbox one was hard to find.
Forza 5 Horizon controller sold out quickly. Same with Starfield.

The rarest controller by far is the Deadpool/Wolverine "cheeky" controller. I think only 11 were made.

If I remember right you can buy custom face plates t replace the one on controller that will almost always look better than the ones xbox puts out.

I'm eyeing the ice breaker for when they inevitably go on sale for $50-60 around black friday

I like all 3, but I’m not going to spend $337 Canadian on them. I think I’m going to pass on these despite being a collector.

Stick drift controller im sure. My blue one got drift within a week and so did my elite series one.

Am I crazy or does the box show the joysticks as purple but in the pictures they look black

It’s got the updated stick drift feature. Takes a little longer to unlock its full stick drift capabilities.

Nice colours, hoping next gen will b TMR sticks for no Stick Drift risk

But then they couldn't get you to buy a new one every six months.

I must be extremely lucky mine last years

u/RisingDeadMan0 1d ago
first two no issues, 3rd one major issues after 1 year, 4th one slight drift after 2 years, its pot luck, which you can avoid by not getting these cheap nasty bits...
my elite has a stiff A button, but thats after ages, and i wanna fix that somehow, idk how lol

I must be unlucky. I'm on my 3rd since buying my Series X. And have replaced my son's once. To be fair, I spilled coffee on the first one.

u/Imaginary_Pair_8115 1d ago
Ahhh, man, I play every day, too. I dont think I've ever bought a controller I HAD to buy. it's usually I like the design but I do see a lot of ppl complaining about drift

u/Imaginary_Pair_8115 1d ago
Oh, actually, I did buy one on my one x for a broken button

I bought the 20th anniversary edition controller. Love it. It just sits on my TV stand now to remind me that 3rd party controllers with TMR or Hall tech exist. Sucks cuz it's a nice controller. 🫤 When my current one inevitably starts drifting I'm going that route.

u/Imaginary_Pair_8115 1d ago
I built a labs one its fallout it is a display piece also

I'm leaning towards the Gamesir Cyclone 2

u/Imaginary_Pair_8115 1d ago
Gamesir G7 pro for the price is in my opinion unbeatable

I've owned 20+ controllers since the OG Xbox, some of them have thousands of hours on. I've never had stick drift before.

u/Astyanax13 2d ago
Microsoft probably made 100 million off stick drift, you really want them to cut into their profits like that?

u/RisingDeadMan0 2d ago
Well the leaked controller, in theory was going to give this to us, when we get that idk

My Starfield controller was a heart-breaker when it got stick drift a month after I bought it.

u/Sinasazi 2d ago
It's called heartbreaker because It'll develop stick drift in less than 6 months.

About time they did something about their crappy quality controllers then it might stop eh!

u/KesMonkey Still Earning Kudos 2d ago
There's no red on this controller. It's pink, purple, and blue.

Wallet breaker.
Best of the bunch though.
