    This thing is a sculpted masterpiece! I loved the first gen controller and they went and upgraded it. This thing is incredible. I’m annoyed off though. One of my family members (I’m pretty sure) three away my d-pad and since Microsoft doesn’t make replacement parts I’m going to have to but from a sketchy third party and hope it all works properly.

    This was my favorite controller for years until I needed a replacement recently. They obviously changed their manufacturing because I exchanged it 6 different times and every single time each controller had the exact same issue. The left thumbstick is completely chalked. Can’t even move it in a circle smoothly, it gets stuck and sometimes it doesn’t even detect movement at all. Again, 6 different controllers from two different locations had this exact same issue. It’s like they know they are pushing out broken controllers but just don’t care lol
