Walmart and other retailers have the same price.

Go with Walmart for (edit) easier return.

New version of this controller coming out in April. These should drop to $35.

Really wish this included Purple, but unfortunately not

Amazon had $6.99 3yr protection on these. Anyone have luck with getting exchange when the inevitable stick drift kicks in?

I haven't personally owned, or played, a gaming console, since the Super Nintendo Entertainment System was popular (about 30 years ago, I would guess), and I'm not exaggerating. However, I have a dear family friend, who plays Xbox and loves playing Call of Duty. So, I'm wondering, would this be a good controller (and would this be a good price) to give him as a gift, to play Call of Duty on an Xbox One console?

If someone would reply and share some helpful feedback with me, I would really appreciate it.

Does he already have a controller? I think COD is a first person shooter with a single player on the screen. Unless the controller gift is to give them a controller with another color, I would hold off to give them an upgraded controller like the Xbox elite controller.

These go on sale every now and then, and when they do go on sale it is indeed a great deal. Plus what gamer wouldn't want a gaming controller as a gift

But this is so low quality compared to PS controllers. For OC Gamers though if they need something other than mouse and keyboard the PS controllers are the best, my prefared one is stil the DS4 from PS4 because it's light and very comfortable. I bought the xbox controller for aboit $25 when they had the tiktok deal, damn I felt the plastic was on par with the chinese knock off controllers. And I used to have XBOX 360 back in the day and used to think they were good controllers. But unfortunately the PS4 controllers usually don't last that lomg either and get a drift
I mean if you want anything high quality when it comes to controllers, you'll have to go with the elite version. Even then those $200 controllers develop stick drift. I have both Xbox and ps5 elite style controllers and I must say the Xbox feels more luxurious and bang for the buck but it's just personal opinion. I only said this was a good deal cause for #1 it's a gift to give someone. If it was for ones self I'd say just get the elite. Also they said they have an Xbox system.

Crap. Something may have changed. I was given 90 days on the previous controller I bought.

Easier returns I must say then.

Editing my post. Thanks for correcting.

Easy fix for this is to buy a potentiometer. Remove the round disk. open the controller with drift pry open the little green door place disk in and good to go no soldering required. I buy controllers with drift all the time to flip this fixes it 98% of the time. It shouldn't take more then 10 minutes.

You should make a YouTube video of that process. Probably get a ton of views.
