I need a new Xbox type controller for PC. my last two MS ones got stick drift within a year, is this a good deal?
Unless you are enamored by the color or need it for an actual Xbox console (this supports Xbox wirelessly), I'd opt for the Ultimate 2 instead. Key benefits over this:
1. TMR sticks versus Hall Effect. Higher resolution, lower power consumption.
2. Clicky LB/RB buttons versus membrane. Membrane shoulder buttons are what you would find on PlayStation controllers.
3. Click d-pad versus membrane. Ultimate 2 clicky d-pad feels much better than the Xbox d-pad too.
4. Additional L4/R4 buttons. Both controllers have rear paddles, but the Ultimate 2 has extra shoulder buttons too.
5. Minor point, but the Ultimate 2 has a color matched dock.

Check to see if you already have the pins on your existing 8bitdo controller.
Not all of them have it and if you don't have the pins, it's not going to work.
