Several models in stock including PUBG limited edition. These controllers are compatible with Xbox One and Xbox Series S/X models. Best price all year and likely last we will see of these older (arguably more comfortable) controllers.

If you have big hands, these are more comfortable than the new "series" controllers.
New generation are only 10 bucks more. https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/d...leshopping
I think I've only ever used it once, it's not a huge deal.

Yes, these aren't the new USB C Series controllers.

These are last gen controllers for the X1/X1S/X1X that work on both that and Series consoles.

Yup.

Thanks for the heads up, just updated mine!

just sharing my experience. Believe me im not a disgruntled xbox owner. I have a 360 and those remotes are still kickin ass to this day. The one that came w/ xbox one S drifted and a secondary that i purchased also failed. Luckily my credit card helped me get replacements at no charge.

Since then I got two newer remotes w/ the screen capture button in the middle. They feel exactly the same but I hope they truly arent. I've had the newer versions for at least 1/2 a year now and no sign of driftage.
I have the same problem. Did your credit card cover the replacement for the drifted one also? I assume MS would not cover it under warranry...

Just FYI, there was a potential controller firmware update (just for the ones that have Bluetooth) in the mid-November Xbox Series X update. I don't use BlueTooth, but it seems worthwhile to upgrade the controllers. For some information on how to do it from PC or from the an Xbox Console, here's some more info:

https://www.theverge.com/2021/11/...i-features

https://www.lifewire.com/update-x...re-4580209

It doesn't seem like the Xbox Series X automatically pops up a notice if firmware is out-of-date (you have to go to the Devices section to check). I hope this helps!
Quoting so i remember where to look for updating fw

On the other hand, iOS / android compatible?

Yes, all of these Xbox controllers will work with iOS and Android, since they support Bluetooth. I think, in general, newer versions of the Xbox One controllers and all newer ones (Xbox Series S/X) apply.

On PC, I really prefer to use the standalone Microsoft Xbox Wirelesss Adapter (USB), though the price seems a bit steep. It should offer better connectivity and lower latecy, plus none of the compatibility and connection quality issues with Bluetooth.

Nothing screams joystick drift like this generation of remotes. I'd steer clear and wait for the newer ones to drop in price. I've had 2 of these remotes and they both drifted in a year.

You are right. Same with me

i believe microsoft only warranties 90 days for remotes purchased separately from console bundles? I didnt try because it was past 90 days. My credit card covered it.

If I use apple pay my credit card number shown is not the actual so is it possible to still get extended warranty claim ?

Edit
In fact in my orders detail it just shows Apple Pay no CC number.

why is this a thing ? it's previous gen controller and 40.00 really ??? I never paid more than 29.99 the whole life cycle of my xbox one for one of these.

I get it they may be in short supply due to Next Gen controllers which by the way could be had for 35.00 at certain stores during the past sales weekend.

to each their own but Next Gen controllers are backwards compatible so not seeing this being such a great deal.
Please provide links sir tinyhands

The eBay details receipt for me only shows Apple Pay and no cc info so is it still possible to make a cc extended warranty claim?
