Just the cautionary tale where I reinforce doing research before purchasing.
It's the same as people complaining about stick drift, of all the years of gaming in Xbox (and Switch) I've yet to have a single controller go bad on me. Maybe I'm just crazy lucky but I doubt it. I think with anything the internet amplifies issues where every single person with that issue joins in on the conversation, yet the vast majority have nothing to say because it doesn't happen to the majority.
Bottom line, don't not grab this if you fancy the color, based on a few people saying theirs chipped. Xbox has a great warranty too.

I mean when multiple people state that the inner rim is also painted and that has chipped off considering how analog sticks work it's the clear indication that the paint has caused a lot of people's controller to drift. I have facts, you have opinions. good for you what do you want a farking dog 🍪
Check the target reviews a lot of people stating that the controls started breaking down in 2 months. How oddly specific for multiple people to state two months...
I use an xbox controller, but I use it wired, so I don't have to worry about batteries.
It's not something to worry about. Lol. I have a charger that I keep eneloops in 10 feet away from my Xbox. Once my batteries get low it takes seconds to replace. Having battery built in is awful. I hate playing wired, even if I have a really long wire. It's no good. Replaceable batteries the best way to go
Exactly! Swapping in a fresh pair of Eneloop rechargeable batteries into an Xbox controller takes seconds.
With PlayStation controllers, you either have to switch to wired when the controller gets low - which feels awkward after using it wireless and may require super long cables if you're playing on a TV from the living room couch - or have a spare controller charged up and ready to go - and for the cost of one spare controller on sale you could get a charger and a whole pack of rechargeable Eneloop batteries. You can have unplanned couch co-op sessions without worrying about whether every controller is charged and ready to go because if any controller is low you just swap in a fresh pair of batteries and get back to playing

To be fair, I didn't realize my Xbox 360 controllers exhibited stick drift because almost all games have sufficient dead-zones to hide it. But then I tried to play Metal Gear Rising Revengeance, which doesn't have a dead-zone (at least not on PC, I'm not sure about consoles), and out of my 5 X360 controllers only one made the game playable - the other 4 resulted in the game camera constantly rotating to the left and/or my character always walking to the right

I know with the PS5 you essentially need to have two controllers and those things are really overpriced. About twice as much as an Xbox controller. I have kids so if they play the PS5 they may not always remember to charge it and then when I go to play the controller is dead. And I refuse to play with a cord so I just don't play PS5 much.
Replaceable batteries is the way to go. Buy a pack of Eneloops and a charger and keep them right next to where you game. It will literally take less than ten seconds to replace and keep playing. With Playstation if you don't have a second controller you're out of luck. MS has the right idea and I hope they never go away from using AA batteries in their controllers.

I was actually going to get the rechargeable battery for the xbox, but it's way too expensive, and I just really don't like dealing with rechargeable AAs. It's extra mess that I don't like have sitting around.
Right now you can get a PS5 controller for $49. And that's a lot cheaper than the xbox controller with rechargeable battery.
And I really understand not enjoying playing with a cord, especially if you're couch gaming. I strictly use my xbox controller (wired) for my PC.
If I had kids perhaps I'd change my mind, but I don't, so I'm speaking with what I prefer from a controller.

Ps5 isn't a good comparison because once the internal battery dies(and it will die) you cannot replace it. The controller is dead. With the rechargeable battery for the Xbox you can toss the battery and buy a new one. The controller will work forever. Much better value imo
