Depends. But this is cooler as a collector piece more than anything. There are countless third party controllers that are so much better than the Xbox first party ones. The only appealing thing for me was that these used to be like $55 retail and the third party ones upwards of $100. Now you have $60 retail third party ones that are insanely good and $90 retail Xbox controllers that have suspect build Quality
These were just released on 10/20… that's less than 3 weeks.
Your "high chance of stick drift" is nonsense, just more baseless garbage in an interwebs forum.
OK since you seem to know the reason there are so many open box controllers available. Can you share that with the rest of us?

Go tell that to everybody who bought a pre-owned Xbox microcontroller from Best buy recently.

all those are people bought a controller that was released <3 weeks ago? literally just hit the market the end of last month.
if we were talking about a generic controller that's been around forever, sure, someone bought to replace their broken one and just returned. but that ain't the case here.

November 4th 2026 is when the Xbox nano controller released and as of yesterday it was already an open box. slick deal at Best Buy and everybody complained about the stick drift.
