Review on ๐ŸŽฎ Discontinued Special Edition: Microsoft Xbox Wireless Controller - Phantom Black for Xbox One by Trey Crosland

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Very easy to break

So the color and style of this controller is amazing. Unfortunately, that doesn't make it any more robust than their cheapest controllers. For some reason, during the most panicked and tense moments of a video game, I squeeze the joystick a little harder to dodge to the side. Because of this, most of my controllers only last about 9 months. I dodge to the side and inside, under the stick, some small, probably plastic limiters rip. From now on, if you try to move and press L3 (joystick click) at the same time, the joystick will get stuck a bit. In addition, it immediately begins to generate a drift. This controller went from brand new to drifting so much that I couldn't fast travel in Fallout because the joystick was drifting too fast for me to even pick a location on the map. If they were a bit stronger (or even if the joystick was easier to replace) I would give 5 stars, but even 3 is too much for a product that breaks so easily. 3 stars.

Pros
  • Xbox One
Cons
  • Long
