Got one, thanks! Even though all of these xbox controllers suck and need replacement after a few years (all of mine have stick drift or bumper issues), there really isn't any other option.

Gamesir is supposed to be coming out with a wireless Hall effect controller for Xbox soon.

Sure there is. Sony 4 DualShock and DualSense 5 controllers. Still have my old DS 4 from 15-20 years ago, and 2 more purchased new in the box for backups. I did switch to a DualSense 5 about a year ago though. Could never see myself going back to Xbox controllers (always hated the cheap feeling, plasticy triggers on top) unless they start to make them with Hall Effect switches and sell them for the same price as these..
This is fine for PC, but if tdizzle is using an Xbox then they are restricted to Xbox controllers.

I have switched mostly to 8bitdo controllers with Hall effect sticks. About the price of this "deal", but with much better longevity, and customization.

I just got a couple 8bitdo Ultimate controllers and they're great so far. Hall Effect sticks, so theoretically no issues with stick drift.

If you are handy with a soldering iron you can swap the sticks out to Hall effect sticks for about $5 per controller (purchased off aliexpress). I just did it on two controllers with drift and it worked great. Same sticks worked on an old micro-usb controller as well as a newer usb-c/Bluetooth controller.

My barely used DualSense 5 controllers have drift. Drift is such a common issue you can buy replacement parts to weld.

I didn't take that into consideration. I haven't owned an Xbox console since the original one before the Xbox 360. You mean modern Xbox consoles don't have the ability to pair with other bluetooth controllers? Wow, that's limiting. When I used Xbox 360 or XboxOne controllers, I only used them for PC. Then about 10 years ago I switched to Sony controllers (first DS3 controllers - which developed terrible drift within weeks - then the DS4 controllers - never had drift with one - and now DualSense controllers; knock on wood) for my PC using 360 emulation software like DS4Windows.

My guess is that it will be $35 again before BF hits, so if you don't need it right now you can hold off to save a few bucks.
