Reddit mentions: The best xbox one controllers

What system you play on is beside the point. Let's see what we can plan out for you.

I'm basing this off of your other comment's projected budget, $500 - $1000.

__

First and foremost, your wheel and pedals. Whether you start with your cockpit/wheelstand or wheel is mostly up to preference, but I'd start with a wheel first, since a wheel clamped to a desk with pedals on a floor is the minimum of simracing, whilst a rig with no wheel is just a glorified gaming seat. Plus, what you get first sets the budget of what comes after it, and I wouldn't prioritize an expensive rig over a good wheel.

Anyway, where you go from here pretty much depends on how much you're looking to spend. If your budget is $500 - $1000 and you're looking to get a whole setup going, I'd keep the wheel+pedal spending to $500 or less. This will leave you with a decent amount of wiggle room for rigs and accessories. All of the suggested wheels are compatible with Xbox One.

Wheels and Pedals

• Thrustmaster TMX
  
  A budget wheel if there ever was one. It's by no means a bad wheel, for $200. It has reasonably strong FFB and similar build to its more expensive counterpart, the TX. Though with a brushed motor and belt-gear hybrid system, it's not as strong nor as smooth as the TX. As someone who's tried its PlayStation counterpart (the T150, basically the same base with a slightly different rim), I'd say it's 75% the quality for 50% the price. If you're on a strict budget and know you'll be on one for a while, it's a pretty good deal.
  
  ^(NOTE: As of writing this, it's currently on sale for $160!)
  
  
• Thrustmaster TMX Pro
  
  If you're planning to drive with an H-gate shifter in the future, then this version of the TMX is a good deal. Instead of the standard 2-pedal Thrustmaster set, it comes with Thrustmater's T3PA Pedals. On top of getting a clutch pedal, it includes a conical brake mod, designed to give more tension to your brake pedal and allow you to better control braking. Plus, in just about any wheel-supported Xbox One game you can map the brake to the clutch and put the conical brake mod behind it, giving your legs more room if you're not using an H-gate shifter. Though if you know you never want to use an H-gate, it might be better value to just get the standard TMX and use a DIY solution for modding the brake.
  
  
• Thrustmaster TX
  
  In case you're wondering, yes, it comes with Ferrari branding as standard. Anyway, this is arguably the best bang-for-your-buck. TX TX's rim is interchangeable, so if you're not a fan of the stock one, you can replace it with another Thrustmaster rim of your choosing. On top of that, its belt-driven FFB system is a bit stronger and considerably smoother than the TMX, not to mention that it's hard mountable (is able to be screwed-in to a rig instead of needing a clamp). While some get the TMX as a starter wheel and upgrade later, this wheel is often people's one-stop for sim racing, since it's just that good.
  
  ^(NOTE: You really picked the best time to get into sim racing, this wheel is only $257 as of writing this! $400 is a decent price for this wheel but the current price is an absolute steal.)
  
  
• Thrustmaster TX Leather Edition
  
  Similarly to the TMX, this is Thrustmaster's step-up version of the wheel; not only does it include a special black version of the T3PA pedals, it also includes a much better rim. While its style is more akin to the TMX, its rim is made from a metal frame, making it feel more solid than the TMX and standard TX plastic rims, and is wrapped in a nice leather instead of rubber. For only $67 more than the standard TX, it's a significant savings over buying the parts separately.
  
  
• Fanatec CSL Elite
  
  This is the premium class of wheels, for the most part. Fanatec's hardware is generally only built from the best of materials and offer some of the best performance, along with being open to Fanatec's wider, more advanced selection of parts and accessories. However, unlike most wheel bases, this is only the wheel base, no rim or pedals included. If you want Fanatec's base CSL offerings for a rim and pedals, the price jumps to about $470, the same price as the TX, but that's only with two pedals. If you want their 3-pedal base instead, the price jumps up to $590, and if you want a GT style rim instead, you're already over $600 with the 2-pedal set, $700 with the 3-pedal set. Fanatec's gear is top-quality, but it comes at a price. Is the bit of extra quality worth the prices that the parts quickly add up to? That's subjective. At the very least, I wouldn't recommend Fanatec Gear if you're on a budget, but maybe consider it for the future.

  Rigs and More
  
  There are some Xbox One wheels for you to consider. I hope my explanations made sense, I wanted to make sure to convey the different aspects of each wheel so you could better make a decision.
  
  If you want my personal recommendation though, I'd say the TX, especially since it's on sale. $250 for that base is a great price, it's a near-perfect balance of budget with performance.
  
  Next on the list, a rig. If we're assuming that you're willing to reach towards the upper-end of your budget, then continuing here after you get your wheel is a no-brainer. Having a dedicated place to secure your wheel and mount your pedals makes for a far better experience than sitting at a table, especially if you're playing in front of a TV.
  
  Keep in mind that there are two types of rigs, wheel stands and cockpits. Wheelstands are only meant to mount your wheel and pedals, where you sit is up to you. They're designed to be foldable and easy to carry, making them perfect for playing in front of the living room TV or using in a small apartment. Dedicated cockpits take things to the next level, securing your seat to the wheel and pedals means that you won't have to worry about anything sliding around, and makes things more comfortable overall.
  
  As much as I want to continue though, there are many, many great options to choose from and reddit has a length limit on comments. For more information on building your rig, you can check out the r/Simracing Buyer's Guide in the wiki. It includes everything wheels and rigs to accessories and monitor mounts.
  
  Cheers, and let me know if you have any questions.

it's a matter of price in the end, but here's my ramblings.

The Logitech path sets you back $300 for a complete set.

https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Dual-Motor-Feedback-Driving-Responsive/dp/B016JBE8LU/ref=sr_1_4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1539590704&sr=1-4&keywords=logitech%2Bg29&th=1

However, there's no upgrade path from there, and if you decide to eventually upgrade to another wheel, you'll need an adapter for both the pedals and the shifter. Additionally, the FFB is not as good as the T300RS or equivalent systems and the shifter is worse than the TH8A, and is 6+R, not 7+R.

The Thrustmaster equivalent would be a T300RS or TX System (they are apparently equivalent).
Including the Shifter, it sets you back about $550.

https://www.amazon.com/Thrustmaster-Racing-Wheel-Leather-Premium-Official/dp/B0151K6FPC/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1539590463&sr=1-1&keywords=thrustmaster%2Btx&th=1

Comparing to the Logitech, the FFB is better. From what I've heard, the pedals are similar in quality.

I've used the G27 shifter and I own the TH8A and the thrustmaster is quite a bit better, and can be put in sequential mode as well. Additionally, it can be used as an analogue handbrake, which is pretty cool for the price. The shifter can also be connected by USB, so that's a component you'd be able to keep should you decide to upgrade in the future.

Also, Thrustmaster makes a variety of bases, some more high-end than what you're looking at, so you'd have an upgrade path without switching manufacturers and having to find a solution for pedals.

As for the TMX Pro, the wheel + the T3pa pedals + the shifter cost around $415. (look at the proposed sets)

https://www.amazon.com/Thrustmaster-Force-Feedback-racing-wheel-WINDOWS/dp/B01CI97DNM/ref=sr_1_3?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1539591097&sr=1-3&keywords=thrustmaster+tmx+pro

However, I would not buy the T3pa's separately. If you buy separate pedals, I'd go for the Fanatec CSL Elite Pedals with the Loadcell Brake. They are more expensive, but a lot better and have USB connectivity, should you switch manufacturers in the future.

https://www.fanatec.com/us-en/pedals/csl-elite-pedals-lc-usa.html


I hope I've not confused you too much.

In conclusion:

Logitech
-> Ok Force Feedback, Ok Pedals, Meh Shifter $300 | No Upgrade Path


T300 (VG TX) incl T3pa + TH8A
-> Good Force Feedback, Ok Pedals, Good Shifter $550 | Upgrade Path for Wheel base/Rims


TMX Pro + Fanatec CSL Elite LC + TH8A ->
Ok Force Feedback, Great Pedals, Good Shifter $550 | Upgrade Path unlimited, all separately connected via USB.

All that said, it depends a lot on how serious you want to get. If you already know that you're not going to go full sim-racing, the Logitech is going to be plenty good enough for you.

However, if you want to start sim-racing seriously, and are looking at games such as iRacing, RaceRoom, rFactor, pCars, Assetto Corsa and the like, good pedals make you quicker than good wheels

They wiped out all support for previous 360 XID wheels, which is ridiculous. And they don't seem to be planning on making a new entry-level type wheel, like your official 360 one.

There are only two Xbox One supported wheels at the moment, the Thrustmaster and Madcatz (sorry for it being a link to Kotaku, but it is a good basic run down, with people talking about Microsoft's decision to stop supporting 360 wheels in the comments).

They're both $400 USD. I honestly couldn't tell you how good they are myself, but I'd imagine you'd be able to use the pedals, since the official 360 wheel's pedals were dogshit, these are more like just poop - useable (but no clutch pedal still).

But the Madcatz does have a lap base fitting you can use, and it is wireless. The Thrustmaster's more bulky and isn't wireless, would definitely need to be used on something solid like a desk or a rig.

So the tradeoff is that the Madcatz is more plasticy but more portable, tuneable, and comfortable to use (arguably). Then the TM is more solid, compatible with PC, and is sure to last on the outboard hardware side of things (TM's history with its internals breaking is a different story)

Here's an in-depth review of the Madcatz: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kyHwH5zCOk

And the TM:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhwe1DWF9x0

There should be more wheels coming down the line in the future, but I'm pretty sure it'll be no less than $300. I don't know why these companies seem to think there's no market for a solid entry-level wheel ~$150. People would eat it up.


Oh wow, as I was finishing up this post, I checked prices for the two wheels online and found a new wheel that's coming out October 15th, a "Hori wheel" that's $90, check it out:
http://www.amazon.com/HORI-Racing-Wheel-One-Xbox/dp/B00L6AVN6S/ref=zg_bs_6469287011_5

Seems like it'll be what you'll want if you don't mind the lack of FFB.

Also, the TM wheel is only $324 USD on Amazon at the moment:

|What games/sims are the most life like?

• iracing
  
• rfactor 2
  
• assetto corsa
  
• game stock car 2013/extreme
  
  All of the above games are more or less the most popular games with the best physics. They all have their up and downsides. They are all miles ahead of any codemasters f1 game or forza. They also all offer the ability to drive open-wheel cars, although some games require mods or dlc to do so.
  
  | What wheels are the best?
  
  If you want a good xbox one compatible wheel then you're basically looking at the Thrustmaster TX. It has a really good belt driven system and has a detachable rim. The downside is you need to buy a separate set of pedals and shifter if you want to drive manual. If you want something less expensive, the best bang for your buck IMO is the Logitech G27, but it is PC/PS3 only.
  
  |How much cost is associated with sim racing?
  
  Well essentially you need a wheel and a game. A good wheel will set you back anywhere between $200-$700, and most games are between $20-$60.
  
  If you want participate in competitive online racing, you are basically going to have to go with iracing. They have by far the best multiplayer. However, you have to pay a subscription fee and must buy most of the tracks/cars separately. This is where cost can get out of hand.
  
  
  I have a lot of fun with a pretty basic setup, however the sky is the limit as far as spending goes. But no matter how much you do end up spending, it will be a fraction of the cost of a trackday weekend.
  

For start, turn off any and all forms of auto-aiming where possible, as it's inconsistent in different games and really only helps if you're very casual and have blocks for hands. Start your aiming sensitivity on a lowish setting, then increase it by a notch every few games until you're at the highest one you can comfortably snipe with.

Also do yourself a favour and get yourself a pair of Xbone analogue stick caps and put them in your DualShock 4. It's very cheap and easy to do, sticks and instructions here:
https://www.amazon.com/Original-Black-Xbox-Controller-Analogue-Thumbsticks/dp/B00JQX91HU
https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/DualShock+4+Analog+Stick+Covers+Replacement/22675

Say what you will about Microsoft, but they understand gamepad ergonomics far better than Sony do... the reason that the left stick is high on their controllers is because that's a more natural resting position for your thumb that causes less strain when pressing the stick forward for long periods of time, which is what you're doing in most games, most of the time. Getting Xbone caps won't give you that but it will give you the other smart little touches they added.

Look at this photo and note the differences between those sticks and the default ones:
http://i.imgur.com/SJCIyVB.jpg

Concaves: it's harder to pull something than to push it, and pulling something without a proper grip is even harder again. You get a proper grip by applying force perpendicular to the object you're pulling, not sliding parallel against the sides. The convex stick tops that Sony uses ensures that there's always a degree of sliding against it, which is obviously not as effective as getting a proper hold into a concave like you can in the Xbone sticks.

Ledge: there's also a hard "ledge" at the outer edge of the concave that makes sure your finger doesn't slip off the stick, as opposed to the soft bump that allows more slippage on Sony's sticks.

Textured edges: these are there to ensure that you have as much grip as possible while moving he stick up and down, as your thumb doesn't push/pull from directly below or above the stick, but off to the side at an angle. While Sony's sticks have a texture too, the softer blunt bumps found on it will never allow as much grip as the harder sharp texture on MS's sticks.

You're probably thinking these are tiny things that won't make a difference to your aiming, but in terms of ergonomics, those little things all work together to make a pretty big difference. Try the yoga mission in GTA V with both sets of sticks and it'll become very obvious which ones allow a better, more precise grip.

Logitech MOMO and DFGT are at or slightly below this price range, but they're two good ones. I've used a MOMO for close to a decade now and it's been a solid wheel. DFGT is superior to the MOMO in most ways except the MOMO has actual paddles instead of just buttons, if that's a big deal for you. DFGT is like 2x the cost of a MOMO though.

If you can save up another $100-$150, or wait for a sale, you could get a Thrustmaster TX or T300RS. They share the same base, and it's one of the best on the market (TX's wheel isn't the best, but it can be replaced). It's miles ahead of all the Logitech wheels (G27,Momo,DFGT) because it's a servomotor with a belt. Logitech wheels are geared which makes the FFB less precise, weaker, and gives them a "notchy" feeling.

IMO if you're looking for a low-cost wheel to test the waters or are new to racing, get a MOMO cause they're very cheap (~$80-$90, vs $150 for a DFGT) and good enough. The MOMO's low steering lock actually makes it well suited for F1 and other open wheel racing. If you are still playing a lot after a year or whatever, put the money you saved on getting the MOMO cheaply into getting a TX/T300RS.

Any Xbox compatible 3.5mm Jack headset can be used with the official Xbox One Stereo Headset Adapter. They are about £16 ($20?) on Amazon (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Official-Xbox-Stereo-Headset-Adapter/dp/B00I41H7US/). This plugs into the rectangular port on the bottom of the controller, and gives you mute, chat / game balance, and volume up / down buttons. It's very simple to use, and gives you full control over the volume balance for game and chat.

You can also get aftermarket pads from PDP, which have a 3.5mm socket for any Xbox compatible headset with a 3.5mm Jack, and they have a special dedicated button by the right thumb stick, which when double tapped, mutes the mic, and when held down, turns the D-Pad into a volume up / down and chat / game balance control.

This is what I use, and it is so easy to adjust game and chat volume on the fly, I'm actually surprised MS don't do something similar - it's such an intuitive way of doing it. One thing though, is that I don't know whether PDP do a wireless pad with this feature, (I'd have to google it) as the ones I've seen on Amazon are wired (as is mine). They are only about £35 / $40 or less though, and the cable means the controller is light, and never runs out of battery! :D

Edit - Had a look and can't find a wireless version, but this is the one I have, and I am very pleased with it, cable is nice and long, and fits securely. It feels a bit different to a regular controller, some things better, some things worse. The home button is much easier to use, but the triggers are flatter. Buy from Amazon with free delivery and try it? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Afterglow-Prismatic-Wired-Controller-Xbox-x/dp/B00ZJRHSRW/

Ahh nice. You should be able to get a pretty decent upgrade.

Thrustmaster is probably what you are going to want to be on the lookout for, since they have some nice stuff in the $3-400 range when it goes on sale. The other option would generally be a Logitech G29 or G920, but while being solid, arent really worth more than $200. The Thrustmaster stuff will be better overall.

To that note, check out this link at Amazon. This was the sale I mentioned above, although it is out of stock right now. It was a bundle of Pedals (roughly $100 if bought separately), a Shifter (roughly $130), the wheel base (roughly $200+), and a wheel rim (roughly $150) for ~$475. If you have heard the term insta-buy, this was it. I would check this every day or two to see if it comes back in stock.

Around BF, Thrustmaster will usually have a variety of deals on the T300. There are a variety of wheel rims it might come with, or a variety of pedals. I would highly recommend getting the pedal set with 3 pedals (clutch, brake, and throttle). The 2 pedal set (brake, throttle) is really low quality and just cheap plastic.

Few bundles include the shifter, so dont go out of your way looking for everything I mentioned in the bundle above. For a TM bundle, it will include the pedals, wheel, and rim for ~$3-400 depending on what exactly is included. The bundle above included a different rim than what normally comes with the wheel base, so it's up to you to figure out what you would be most interested in.

To give you an idea, this might be a good bundle that you might be interested in. Might be under $400 for BF. The bundle I listed above comes with a Ferrari branded rim while this is just a generic TM rim made with leather. Still high quality though and still better than the normal rim is usually sold.

This sort of stuff goes on sale at Amazon every so often, so keep an eye out before BF too.

That's the guy I am using right now. I literally bought it because I wanted to do FFB with FM6 and try out iRacing. I tried FM6 for a few hours and just couldn't get the feel down. The way it feels when your back end starts to lose it is just so wrong it makes it super difficult for me to handle. After that I bought Project Cars on PC and wow, it was a huge different. PC isn't a proper sim, but the FFB is great fun. iRacing is simply amazing.

Possibly part of the problem is I started doing weekly races at CXC Simulations in Los Angeles, and their iRacing setups are unbelieveably amazing.

Besides being more comfortable, the XB1's dpad is significantly better. For example, I couldn't wall jump in Super Metroid with the 360 controller, and was only able to get past that part when I got an XB1 controller.

On the other hand, I completed Dark Souls with the 360 controller and it was a great experience. So I would get this $25 360 pad if you're on a budget, otherwise for greater comfort and usable dpad, I'd prefer the $73 Xbox 1 controller.

have you thought of just modding a regular controller?

https://www.amazon.com/Collective-Minds-Xbox-One-Mod-Pack/dp/B07H4MPJ5X/

https://www.amazon.com/Bionik-Quickshot-for-Xbox-One/dp/B01N1QO0TS/

i tried the elite controller but just wasn't a fan of how all the parts could come off, so i stick to a regular controller since they're way easier to replace and i love the bluetooth functionality. i use the x1 controller with the snes classic and emulators on my android devices and it works wonderfully.

i could understand if you got too used to the paddles though. i would have loved those when i was really into online fps a while ago.

If you're looking for cheap but good go for Power A. This is one of the few brands that can survive my kids. They usually have pretty good button feel for a cheaper alternative as well.

https://www.amazon.com/PowerA-Enhanced-Wired-Controller-Xbox-One/dp/B07DHY6YLM/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=xbox+one+powera+controller&qid=1556031714&s=gateway&sr=8-3

Personally I use a micro USB cable with the standard Microsoft controllers. They are more expensive but they last longer and typical repairs (new thumbsticks and sensors) are actually cheap and easy to do.

You made me check around Amazon :P.

Very Interesting. Infact, you can get this Xbox One Controller + Cable for $37, though it seems to be the Old version. You can also get this Xbox One "Wireless" Controller for $46. The difference?
> - Now features a 3.5 millimeter stereo headset jack that lets you plug your favorite gaming headset right into the controller.
> - Now the controller can be updated wirelessly instead of needing to connect a USB cable.
> - Contents: Wireless Controller and AA Batteries (2)

So if you care about those things it will cost you $9 more :P. Though, some of the reviewers also say the Bumpers are better, they look exactly the same in the photo, though I think it's actually a render and not a photo, so maybe they are better? I actually have this controller in specific though I'm pretty sure it's the same as the old version as it doesn't have the 3.5mm port. I don't have any complaints with the bumpers, and after many months of frequent use they show no signs of wear (which some reviewers seem to complain about with the old version).

The Thrustmaster TX is another option. I think it's a bit better quality than the Logitech and the feedback is better. It's a bit cheaper at $299 BUT the pedal set doesn't have a clutch. If you want the 3 pedal set it's another $150. I love my TX and I've replaced the standard wheel with the VG leather wheel (also $150,) and it feels great. You can also get the TX with the VG wheel and the 3 pedal set for $469 http://www.amazon.com/Thrustmaster-Racing-Wheel-Leather-Premium-Official/dp/B0151K6FPC/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1463535677&sr=8-2&keywords=thrustmaster+vg

There is also an addon H-pattern shifter available for $100. Yes you can spend a good bit of money on your setup but it's an absolute must for all but the most casual racing gamer.

Please note the differences between the Thrustmaster TX and the TMX.
The one you want is definitely the TX , with swappable rims and pedals, and the optional 6 speed shifter.
I suspect most (some?) of the people mentioning the TMX are actually referring to the TX: https://www.amazon.com/Thrustmaster-Racing-Ferrari-xbox-one-Windows/dp/B00ENFVS5Y

Edit:
TMX and TMX Pro are the same entry tier wheel, except for the pedals (Pro has the 3 pedal model)

TX is the mid level THrustMaster wheel (swappable rims). You should add the 3TPA pedals to that.

By the way, have you played Project Cars? I am really interested in that one. How does is play on the Xbox? I know it is supposed to be better on the PS4 (which I do own), but I can only afford to buy one driving wheel right now.

Since GT7 won't be here for about another 15 months or more, I am playing Forza 6. So...if I buy the thrustmaster vg tx for use with my Xbox, I'll want to play Project Cars on the Xbox as well.

So...can the Xbox handle it, or not?

I don't know about Playstation controllers, but I use a 3rd party Xbox 360 controller that works well:

https://www.amazon.com/Afterglow-AX-1-Controller-Xbox-360-Blue/dp/B003ITY98O

If you prefer the feel of the Xbox one controller, they make it as well:

https://www.amazon.com/PDP-Afterglow-Prismatic-Wired-Controller-Xbox/dp/B00ZJRHSRW/ref=sr_1_1?srs=3038123011&ie=UTF8&qid=1483457064&sr=8-1&keywords=afterglow+controller+xbox+one

I personally like the Afterglow controllers because they're well built, proportioned correctly, and feel good in the hands. Also, the annoying glow effect can be disabled...there's a button on the back side that changes modes from on constantly, flashing /w rumble, or off completely.

I bought a PowerA controller and while I like the ergonomics of it, the construction quality isn't the greatest. The A button started to stick after a short time and one of the bumpers started to misfunction. I had a super hard time getting it replaced through their customer service and eventually had to bitch at their twitter account to get a replacement one. Then the A button started to jam quickly on that one too. I was able to open it up and do some work and fix it, but that obviously isn't ideal.

I'd suggest just getting a new controller if you still have the option to at best buy until they improve their quality standards.

If you are looking for a decent cheap controller, I've heard good things about this one.

https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Xbox-One-Wired-Controller-Version/dp/B07D12RPHX/ref=zg_bs_6469279011_9?_encoding=UTF8&refRID=ACT0A4XB9N92RQPCXGB8&th=1

Although I don't personally own it.

Yea it's a very common thread there, and you can't blame people, you'd expect better from a $150 controller than some flimsy parts and a 90 day warranty. Seems like people either love it or get a crappy one. It's what's kept me from getting one even though some of my friends rave about it

Also check Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00ZDNNRB8/ref=cm_cr_arp_mb_bdcrb_top?ie=UTF8

It has like 20% 1 star reviews, seems like meh build quality and/or qc

It is unfortunate that so many games now have such complex controls that it invariably ends up less accessible to people like us with mobility based disabilities.

One thing I would recommend, though it won't help with the games you've listed here as they're PS4 (or at least console) exclusives. Consider moving to PC gaming. I personally prefer console gaming, with PS4 being my system of choice, but the ability to change key-binding with PC makes it much more accessible. I'd also highly recommend this controller.

The added flexibility this controller gives should improve your gameplay experiences.

I originally had purchased an Elite Controller and had the same headache with hardware malfunctions and the nightmare that was dealing with Microsofts customer support and so called "warranty".
I wasn't as persistent as you are with your claim so they pretty much told me tough luck and that I would ultimately have to pay for repair or a new controller entirely.
That's when I had enough and started doing research on alternative "pro" style controllers.


Ended up going with a Razer Wildcat. Now this controller is not perfect, I experienced my share of hardware issues on this controller as well. The difference was the customer support was easy to communicate with and they support a 1 year warranty that covers "normal wear and tear". They ask you to walk through some trouble shooting steps but after that is done they send you a free shipping label to send the broken controller in which gets replaced with a brand new controller that arrives within a week or 2.
If you are fed up with the issues that come with the Elite controller, I would honestly recommend this one.


Here is a link for anyone interested

The way it fits in your hand, the responsiveness of the buttons, the range of operation, the number of different buttons it has, the battery life, the overall look and feel and the quality and it's $14.00 vs $50.00
https://www.amazon.com/Talon-Media-Remote-Control-Blu-ray-Streaming/dp/B01GOK34SO

Honestly, I have both. I had the cheap one for about a year then I "assumed" the $50.00 one was better so when I bought a 1X I bought the more expensive remote. After using it for about a year I went through my drawers until I found the cheap one I was using with my 1S and swapped. Now I am much happier. It's Amazon. Buy both and decide for yourself and return the one you don't want.

Like anything there is no agreed upon "best".

None of which might fit great now that the rubber on your controller is actually falling apart. Might require some hot glue or something else if you want them to stay in place.

A lot of people eventually switch to xbox style sticks, not just because the material doesn't fall apart but because it's actually a much better design. These compared to the DS4 sticks is night and day in terms of control and your thumb not sliding all over the place.

http://www.amazon.com/GAMING%C2%AE-Original-Xbox-Controller-Analogue-Thumbsticks/dp/B00JQX91HU/

Not that hard to install. Hardest thing about taking the controller apart is getting the shell separated for the first time and the fact that the triggers and springs might fall out, so just work on a clean table where you'll be able to find the little springs. Watch videos on how to take it apart.

I buy Sony TV's because I prefer the picture quality over the competition. Yesterday I ordered a Sony 65" X900F knowing full well that the Android TV experience is going to be complete garbage, just like it has been on my Sony 55" X850D.

As someone else mentioned, you can update the OS with a USB drive. But even with the latest Android OS my X850D still has a bloat-filled, laggy interface. Using ADB commands to clean it up has helped but it still lags.

I gave up on the Android TV experience over a year ago. My solution is to plug in an Xbox One X and use it with (THIS) remote. The combo of the Xbox and that remote makes the Xbox a fabulous media center. The Xbox houses all of my streaming apps (Hulu Live, HBO, Netflix, Amazon prime Video etc.) and has a very snappy/intuitive interface. And with the Xbox setup using HDMI ARC for TV and my surround sound, powering the Xbox on with the remote turns the TV/surround sound on and gives me full audio control over the surround sound. Turning the Xbox off with one click shuts everything else down as well.

With the above setup I haven't even seen the Android TV experience in over a year and honestly forget it's there.

With that said, you can accomplish essentially the same thing with the nVidia Shield, if you prefer that over Xbox. Just keep in mind that there is no Hulu Live app for Android TV, so if you use that for your live TV streaming (like I do), the nVidia Shield won't be a good solution for you.

Haha thanks! Didn't even realize, and yep there is! The original giant Xbox logo is now an OLED screen that plays the original xbox startup animation when you press it.

If you can afford the exorbitant price of $150, the Xbox Elite Controller is downright amazing. It feels great, you can map any button to any other button, you can switch out dpads and thumbsticks, and it has a nice weight to it. comes with a really long USB cable too, and it works with the Xbox One Wireless Adapter if I'm not mistaken. Here's the Amazon link- http://amzn.com/B00ZDNNRB8

I'm on Xbox and previously used bumper jumper. But I recently bought this and mapped the right paddle to jump and left for reload. I use puppeteer and switched the bumpers in the Xbox controller settings so melee is LB and grenade is RB. Now I can skate/jump pretty well, shadestep/slide/TG, aim my super better, and melee quickly after firing.

Really the only downside is I can't wombo combo (smoke/grenade) too fast or else I'll activate my super.

Have you owned the Afterglow Controller? I'd be curious how they compare. I just bought this controller and it's so much better than the original xbox one controller. The build quality is amazing, the buttons, bumpers, and triggers all feel far superior to me.

I definitely think you could get a quality wheel for $300. The nice thing about Thrustmaster is that you can buy them from other retailers, such as Amazon, Walmart, Gamestop, Best Buy, etc.

I know I was watching this T300 w/ Alcantara because it fell to $300 in December of 2016. Similarly, this TX w/ leather wheel dropped to $300 in November 2016.

This one is considerably smaller than the standard xbone controller and works amazing. Best 3rd party controller i ever bought. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01J36HGC6/ref=zg_bs_6469279011_16?ie=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=4T7FJPHKTKR4TE4FP6JX

I use this one from PowerA.

Quality wise I am satisfied. Sure it doesn't feel quite as good as an official one but it is fine. The sticks feel good. The triggers do have a cheap feel, for the price I don't notice.

Compatibility will be a hit or miss I think. Mostly it just works and is recognized as an Xbox pad. Steam works. It is all about the device IDs. If you can find a way to edit the reported USB device ID to the offical pad it would function exactly the same way.

I don't know about with emulators. I have had just one game not recognize the controller and that is Dirt Rally. The fix is to add my pads ID to the inputconfiguration.json in the game files. Surely other games would have this issue but not many.

I'm in exactly the same position as you, and as I don't right now have the money to spend on a scuff or a cinch, I've actually just picked up one of these

https://www.amazon.com/PowerA-Enhanced-Wired-Controller-Xbox-One/dp/B07DHY6YLM/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1537582843&sr=8-2&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=enhanced+xbox+controller&dpPl=1&dpID=41Bnmj45hGL&ref=plSrch

I haven't really had a chance to try it yet but I can let you know how it goes if you like, I really bought it so I could try out the extra buttons before spending big on one of the big brands. It does feel kind of cheap to be honest and I don't think it will be a main controller for anyone who plays a lot ... but just to try out the extra buttons it should be ok............ I think!

That tmx wheel is pretty entry level wheel and pedals are horrible and no clutch.

I recommend to go atleast t300rs or tx but those also have poor pedals. But you can buy tx base + rim + better thrustmaster pedals.

Something like this:
https://www.amazon.com/Thrustmaster-Racing-Wheel-Leather-Premium-Official/dp/B0151K6FPC/ref=sr_1_3?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1479745654&sr=1-3&th=1

t300 and tx are belt driven wheels and those are much smoother than new logitech wheels wich are basicly old g27 wheels with new colors.

i got this in white. . . one for both of our model 3's. both work great! bad reviews are from the 1st gen of the controller. 2nd gen apparently doesn't have any problems and it's made by amazon so apparently they back it well if it does break. so far it's been great!

Any deals on this Controller + Play and Charge Kit combo anywhere?:

http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Controller-Play-Charge-Kit-Xbox/dp/B00CMQTUY2

It's 74.99 everywhere, but I may just go to Best Buy and get a controller for $40 + Play and Charge Kit for $25 = $65

Yeah. The Xbox One S has an infared blaster I'm pretty sure. So it should work with pretty much any TV. That's how it controls cable boxes if you use that.

This is the remote I have https://www.amazon.com/Talon-Media-Remote-Control-Blu-ray-Streaming/dp/B01GOK34SO/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_63_t_0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=VTZZ81ZWAAS87B8NV6JP&dpID=315Qbn6Jr8L&preST=_SY300_QL70_&dpSrc=detail

If you can find the tx with the leather wheel and better pedals it makes it an even better setup. The price is generally much cheaper than buying everything separate but I don't think it's available in all regions. As a TX owner you will not regret buying this wheel.

> I originally was looking forward to the fact that I wouldn't need to use the Xbox 1 controller to watch something and have the TV remote but this not being able to switch profiles is a total deal breaker.

I bought one of these and love it. It is a huge step up from an xbox media remote .

https://www.amazon.com/Talon-Media-Remote-Control-Blu-ray-Streaming/dp/B01GOK34SO/

I set up my xbox to turn my tv/receiver on and off and then use that remote for everything else.

I would add Eventghost to the list (based on Phyton), with that you can automate some tasks (example.... if this exebutable is opened do this and that or else..... if this window is focused or non focused do this or that and stuff like that).

​

As for the remote, I would recommend you the non official "Xbox Remote" from PDP (Performance Designed Products) with combination of FLIRC USB, that mentioned remote even has "motion backlit" for all the buttons (white) just like "keyboard backlits" but the difference is that the "lights" turns off on itself after some seconds if you dont move your remote which ofc saves your battery:

amazon.com

amazon.de

​

One thing I should mention about this remote is that you need to be careful because the case can easy wear out if you dont treat it well (avoid water, fluids in general and everything will be fine).

My point is that there is a TX version that does have FFB. See here

Furthermore, my point is that OP is not referring to the TX version, so the version he is referring to does not have FFB. We are already in agreement here.

2. That could work. I mean people really like the XB1 elite controller (link for reference) and it has a few buttons in the back. I think it's a not a simple thing to pull off well but is possible. I'd like to try the elite controller in person to get a better idea

I would love the Elite, but really just can't afford it. I'm considering buying the strike pack controller modifier- Has anyone tried one of these? I would love to hear some input on it

Market price: $149.99

Member price: $149.98

What a deal

Edit: but in all honesty the title on the Dell page is "Dell - Hard drive - 36 GB - hot-swap - 3.5-inch - SAS - 15000 rpm - for Dell PowerEdge 2950 (3.5-inch)" which this is not a HDD unless the controller has some flash storage or huge updates.

Edit#2: Well Amazon has a decent amount of 1 star reviews which may steer people away from these controllers.

Best controller? I'd definitely say the xbox one elite because of the paddles on the back. You could also just get a battery pack that has paddles. They're a lot cheaper, and work with your existing controller.

The paddles are important because they allow you to keep your thumb on the right analog stick. I switched from controller to MKB in open beta because I didn't like the idea of having to move my thumb to GBC, dodge, or feint.

I'm not sure about best controller settings. You definitely want to lower your dead zone setting to probably 5. Someone might be able to recommend good controller settings.

First I bought this: X-Box One thumpsticks for DS4

It was way better than the original sticks. 2 days ago, I replaced them with aluminium ones: Aluminium sticks

It's a bit slippery, hard to grasp. I think I'll put xbone ones back. I've been using those for months and they were great.

Honestly it's now around 10/10 australian hot in here, I have got no more biscuits left and my dog has fallen asleep on my foot and it's beyond asleep (the foot and the dog to equal parts). These are very basic and I would go for either EVGA, seasonic or corsair for the psu. Optical drive you probably won't need, unless you plan to convert your VHS to dvd and then to convert them to digital you rip them with the drive (too hot to think). OS you don't need to worry about, just get win8.1 64bit. Wireless adapter, because screw having a ethernet cable running through your living room, also simpler to setup.

Edit 3: I would get an Xbox one controller, http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Controller-Play-Charge-Kit-Xbox/dp/B00CMQTUY2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1420187632&sr=8-1&keywords=xbox+one+controller, they are an actual improvement on the X360 controllers, in my opinion, and feel more solid and well constructed. Plus the buttons clickity click, which could potentially make up for the lack of mechanical keyboard.

Edit 4: This build is cheaper and doesn't feature overclocking potential, honestly I would still go for the first build, or something similar, simply having the option of going oc later down the road, should you ever need more raw power, is earily worth the little bit you pay more

No way on earth you're reading all of that, so I hid three Gandalf's within the url links, gl finding em

Yeah, I'm completely sure. I liked the original Fat Xbox controller.

In fact I just discovered that this thing exists and I might buy one. https://www.amazon.com/Hyperkin-Duke-Wired-Controller-Windows-Black/dp/B079ZPCCLM

If it were me, I would get this:

https://www.amazon.com/Thrustmaster-Racing-Wheel-Ferrari-458-Italia/dp/B00ENFVS5Y/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1480174329&sr=8-1&keywords=thrustmaster%2Btx&th=1

The pedals are meh, but at least you get the TX base which I would place awfully close to the T500, but significantly better than the G29.

It's too late for him at this point. The covers will only fit properly on undamaged thumbsticks. The only solution now is for him to get a new set of thumbsticks on Amazon.

I recommend aluminum ones:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K23LKK4/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_1?pf_rd_p=1535523722&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B00K7UHG8W&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0BEJE28Z7F7P8AC75XH3

But if you prefer rubber, you can't go wrong with X1 versions:
http://www.amazon.com/Original-Black-Xbox-Controller-Analogue-Thumbsticks/dp/B00JQX91HU/ref=pd_sim_vg_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=1Q6NM0PJT9TQPJCGT8CW

I bought this for my Xbox One controller (I play on PC) https://www.amazon.com/Collective-Minds-XBOX-ONE-Strike-Pack/dp/B01720MZJO. It adds paddles and is relatively affordable compared to the Elite.

Definitely worth it IMO -- makes GB tech infinitely easier and allows you to keep your right thumb on the stick most of the time.

Do not, and I mean DO NOT, get a Scuf controller. They are overpriced and breaks insanely quickly. You'll be lucky to last even a couple months with one.

Razer are an okay product. I don't particularly like them. They are popular only in name alone, imo.

I'd say, even if you don't run Windows 10, still go for the X1 Elite controller. The default button mapping is fine and it's the only controller in the market that feels genuinely premium and will last at least a year.

But if you still refuse the X1 Elite controller, your best option are one of these.
https://www.amazon.com/Collective-Minds-XBOX-ONE-Strike-Pack/dp/B01720MZJO
https://www.amazon.com/Collective-Strike-Dominator-Controller-Adapter-Paddles/dp/B01L8QHXJA/ref=pd_sbs_63_img_0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=HBG35K784WBJMXD6G4E4

Here's a cheaper alternative but I would say yes if the price doesn't go above $140. Also, Xbox Elite Controllers are the same thing basically with better paddles. http://www.amazon.com/Collective-Minds-XBOX-ONE-Strike-Pack/dp/B01720MZJO/ref=sr_1_6/186-8082418-4017529?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1463971487&sr=1-6&keywords=xbox+elite+controller

You can't (unless you want to pay way too much), they're discontinued. People have been using this instead. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GOK34SO/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Not as durable, but still pretty nice.

> you can use tac com without taking your thumb off

With this little number you can have the best of both worlds.

Been playing Tournament with two active back buttons/paddles since UE. Never looking back.

The wheel I have actually has really strong force feedback to be honest. But yea, I have Forza 5/6, Horizon 2/3, Project Cars, and Dirt Rally. I have the [Thrustmaster TX Leather Wheel] (https://www.amazon.com/Thrustmaster-Racing-Wheel-Leather-Premium-Official/dp/B0151K6FPC). Was able to get it on black Friday for $350.

I recently just picked this up and also mapped the paddles to A and B. Did you find yourself still pushing the buttons instead of the paddles?

Also, can you share your sensitivity/ADS settings? I’ve been messing with both for a while and can’t seem to find a sweet spot. Im looking for similar to cod ADS since I’m so used to gunfire in that game. Nice W!

It is The Thrustmaster TX 458 Italia set.

Thrustmaster TX Racing Wheel Ferrari 458 Italia Edition (XBOX ONE/PC) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ENFVS5Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_oVOMDbZPQ5XCW

Thanks for the details. I'm pretty happy at the moment with my setup, but one day I know I will upgrade.

I have a wired 360 pad (but /u/Vulfilla posted a link to the wireless one) and I can say that I am very happy with the ergonomics, I have an old one with both sticks on the bottom, like the Logitech, and I feel that the 360 layout of having one stick at the top is much more comforable.

You might consider an Xbox One Controller, which people describe as being even more ergonomic, or a PS4 Controller.

Pretty sure this is the exact 9or very similar model) https://www.amazon.com/PDP-Afterglow-Prismatic-Wired-Controller-Xbox/dp/B00ZJRHSRW

Price: $20 shipped sound good?

Thank you for all the help, I ended up buying this http://www.amazon.com/Thrustmaster-Ferrari-Edition-xbox-one-Windows/dp/B00ENFVS5Y/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 after doing some research on it. Seems really good and I plan on getting a different steering wheel for it in the future

https://www.amazon.com/Talon-Media-Remote-Control-Blu-ray-Streaming/dp/B01GOK34SO

Man, I was super stoked to hear about a controller that had mechanical switches for its buttons, but the reviews on Amazon indicate poor build quality/quality control with a high rate of dead/stuck bumpers/joysticks/triggers/etc, and controllers breaking after only a few days or weeks of use. Thanks a ton for the recommendation though, I am definitely adding this one to my list of controllers to look out for. But for now, I continue on my quest to find something better...

Xbox One Chatpad + Chat Headset (plugs directly into Chatpad) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0136JPA56/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_Ask7wbZSVKRD0


Dunno if the headset stuff works, but otherwise it's totally functional. Great little gadget.

I'm not quite sure about the size difference between this and the Microsoft one but it seems smaller to me. If not, there's a mini version of PowerA. Hope it helps. https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Xbox-One-Wired-Controller-Black/dp/B07CZTVHY8/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=xbox+one+wired+controller&qid=1559118258&s=gateway&sprefix=xbox+one+wired+&sr=8-3

You might be interested in knowing that most analogue pots (the things that the analog joysticks are put onto) are reverse compatible with other analog sticks.

That is to say, if you have a controller you prefer for hand feel, and another you prefer for analogue stick feel, odds are you can buy the analogue joysticks online and swap 'em out. It's like eight screws, and they pop right off.

On this Amazon page, you can see someone replaced the PS4 joysticks with the XBox One joysticks.

My 360 controller's joystick broke, and I replaced with the joystick from a Duke. It works!

no worries fam just grab one of these and you can play with one hand. you can remap any button fuction anywhere and there are 4 paddles on the back (two on the right) so the only issue might be using the left stick for looking but no one does that anyways. Also chat might be difficult but hey thats what rehab is for.

Looks like this one should match the Go pretty well.

Do you have an xbox one remote? Plugging that straight into the computer will work.

If not here are some links to amazon pages, They are actually pretty cheap.

Have you read all of the reviews on amazon? Is the 90 day warranty true? $150 is a little steep when you consider that the Xbox 1 is selling for under 200 used with a controller. I'd guess the price drops later this year, and definitely next.

https://www.amazon.com/Xbox-One-Elite-Wireless-Controller/product-reviews/B00ZDNNRB8/ref=cm_cr_dp_qt_hist_one?ie=UTF8&filterByStar=one_star&showViewpoints=0

Use an Xbox One Elite Controller.

Got one when they released, just feels right now. It doesn't actually help at all with CS:GO, I only use two paddles, one is assigned to push to talk, and the other to inspect, which is why I'm inspecting all the time. I just always have my finger on the paddle.

https://www.amazon.com/Xbox-One-Elite-Wireless-Controller/dp/B00ZDNNRB8/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1524657847&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=xbox+elite+controlller

Really overpriced, but again, I just like how to feels. It's extra weighty, and the leather grips feel nice.

Xbox One controllers made by Microsoft all work as both wired and wireless controllers.

My guess is that the $20 one you saw is a third party one, like this one made by PowerA which looks almost identical to a Microsoft one: -

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Enhanced-Wired-Controller-Xbox-One/dp/B07DHY6YLM/

All third party controllers are wired only, as MS doesn't allow companies to license the Xbox Wireless technology when it comes to controllers.

I didnt spend 300. I bought scuf extended domed sticks ($13) and scuf grips and trigger stops ($25) and installed them on my controller that came with the console. ($0). So $28 for a better preforming controller (In my mind at least). Debating on wether or not to get paddles for around $50 and installing them. $78 for a homemade Scuf is a lot better than 300 IMO.

edit: links added

Wireless KBM is probably what I would end up doing.

But really I was considering getting one of these for my controller, if it worked for Skyrim hotkeys. I haven't had a chance to read up on it yet.

Have never tried playing Skyrim via controller or on big screen, because I need muh hotkeys, and Dragons Dogma is unplayable via KBM, imo (the UI nav is ridiculous, to say the least), so was looking for a solution to play both from my couch with a controller, for funsies.

Also, was finally checking out the Lock On mod the other day. Looks like it'd be great for couch warrior, joystick combat.

I doubt you’re going to find MS replacements. They don’t want you to repair your controller but buy a new one. I found these from Best Buy: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/insignia-analog-stick-covers-for-xbox-one-and-xbox-360-black/4691501.p?skuId=4691501&ref=212&loc=1&extStoreId=478&ref=212&loc=1&gclsrc=aw.ds&&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIi7Ktw4mc4gIVwuDICh19MAWqEAQYASABEgIMjvD_BwE

This is the best deal at the moment, that I can find.

Force Feedback, and the ability to upgrade to a stick shift and/or 3 pedals. $286 USD. Normally $400.

If you're on Xbox get the Xbox One Elite, not a SCUF. It comes stock with all the customization options that would cost you over $200 to upgrade to with a SCUF.

Unless you value cosmetic customization more, then SCUFs are great.

Had this for a year. The quality is superb and the shoulders still click like day one to this day, and I'm pretty heavy on how I use it because I play Devil May Cry 4 religiously. Highly recommend it bud.

Fantastic, thank you! Going to pick up some of these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JQX91HU

This is the one I use. I got mine at my local Walmart for like $4 cheaper but they’re the same thing. The downsides of it are it has to be plugged in all the time (it comes with a 10ft cord) and I can’t figure out any of the other things it does lol

It’s supposed to be able to a whole bunch of stuff, but I just use it for the paddles.


Edit: I forgot to add that sometimes my friends complain about static or feedback coming from my mic, but I just unplug and re-plug it in, and it fixes it.

Since I run TTR via Steam, I use Controller Companion with it, which is an app for Steam. I've tried others, but unlike most other software, Controller Companion can actually bind the Xbox Home button to something.

Regardless of which software you use, however, if you haven't gotten it already, I highly recommend this little adapter for your controller, because with it you can type from the controller as well. Therefore, fully replacing your mouse and keyboard with the controller.

I mean there's this thing here But it's nothing like the actual Elite Controller. As a proud (and very cheap) owner of the Elite controller, I'll tell you it's definitely worth that $150.

This should fit your needs perfect for your price range.

Amazon Basics have a wired controller if you have prime. I think it’s like $20 bucks? I’ll link it in a sec I’m on mobile. It looks like it has a unremovable cable unlike the PowerA branded ones I’ve seen.

EDIT:

Nothing yet, but along with rumours that Treyarch is taking advantage of the new 3-year CoD developer cycle to help develop this game, the official controller has shown to include some familiar marks as seen on Black Ops games to indicate the existence of zombies

You can get the Microsoft one that has a lot more features and an extra mic for $30, or you can get an Ortz chatpad that has less features and is $25. I really like my Microsoft one. You can map keys to do certain things, like pull up the friends list or take a game clip in the push of a button. There's a lot of complaints on Amazon about the Microsoft one but I've never had a problem.

Why isn't Cortana available in your geographical location? I didn't know that was region specific.

Is it still being manufactured? You can probably get close in the design lab, minus the sticks (the best part)

Edit: found on Amazon for $46.99, not bad

The PS3 and Xbox have special media remotes for them that look and operate just like normal remotes.

I think the Xbox One even has infrared so you can literally use any universal remote on it.

Dedicated Blu-ray players are just trash, they often run Java on weak hardware and never get software updates despite talking to the internet. They're frankly a vulnerability. Sure you may find a good one among hundreds but why bother when an Xbox is so cheap and you already have one.

Edit: here's the official one:

I was going to offer selling this controller, but I realized you'd be better off buying it on Amazon really.

It does take a tad more space though.

If you're on Windows 7 or 8.1, you'll need separate drivers from MS to make it work, but it's well worth the price and effort.

I do prefer the real xbone controller, but this one: https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Xbox-One-Wired-Controller-Black/dp/B07CZTVHY8/ is the one I have 4 of for party games since its cheaper and seems to work fine.

I can't recommend these more: Click

I have changed them on both of my DS4 and they are awesome. You can actually get them cheaper if you don't feel like spending $15 on them. Check sites like http://tinydeal.com or http://dx.com

Get yourself a play-and-charge kit and a chatpad for your existing controller.

the PDP Talon has been working wonders for me tbh, it may not be the original but its pretty damn good

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01720MZJO/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1451180916&sr=8-1&pi=SX200_QL40&keywords=xbox+one+scuff&dpPl=1&dpID=51L6Trs%2BHxL&ref=plSrch

Here try this..... Much cheaper alternative and offers a lot of the perks of a scuf... If you would like to go even further with the controller, scuf does a package which I forgot the name that comes with back grip plates with adjustable trigger stops...
Hope this helps

I got this one and it works great for all of the games, it even rumbles! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07D12RPHX/

You can see the D-Pad pretty well in the product pictures: http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-One-Wireless-Controller/dp/B00CMQTUSS

I would expect a used one would cost at least $30-$40

I would recommend getting this remote. It makes using the Xbox as a media center a lot easier, plus it has x,y,a,b buttons.

Fun fact if you didn't know already, you can get a new one now. It isn't cheap, but it's available.

Edit: actually not a bad price on amazon https://www.amazon.com/Hyperkin-Duke-Wired-Controller-Windows-Black/dp/B079ZPCCLM

this controller with the optional accessory is the best i have came across so far.

I have this one and i love it.

The best one is the talon remote. PDP Talon Media Remote for Xbox One https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GOK34SO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_ehKIzbNRPVXZE

Amazon Basics are decent too, not the cheapest but they are every bit as good as teh MS XBox ones and less money.

I use this controller addon to add two paddles to the back of my Xbox controller for Rocket League. The problem is, after a month or so, the paddle I use for boost always ends up breaking. I've just spent a few days iterating and have come up with a replacement that feels even better than the original.

>plans on giving every citizen 800EUR per month for being a citizen.

That would be our lovely neighbours Finland, not us. Although from my own socialist perspective, it could only cause good if that law came into effect in Sweden, but that's a discussion for another time.

Also, the other controllers in sweden cost around 300-400SEK = 35-47 USD

EDIT: Found the controller on Amazon. Without Swedens high taxes, it's still way too expensive, imo.

I reccomend getting a Power A Mini Controller if you need a smaller controller. The Power A stuff is pretty durable and inexpensive also all of their wired controllers have break away cables.

I've been using a Power A Fusion Pro Controller for over a year. It's a wired "elite" style pro controller. I've got nerve issues with my right hand so I needed a controller with back buttons. I put a lot of extra abuse on the left half of the controller. It has held up really well even with being dropped and tossed on a regular basis. It is available for <$50 from other sellers.

PowerA Wired Mini Controllers For Xbox One https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PHDC224/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_dbRTBb4K5MA5Q

They’re playing with standard controllers now though at ages 7 and 3. She must have really small hands lol

it's this kind of low level hardware, i wouldn't advise you to buy one as the buttons are too small and the gameplay impossible on this. You should take a wireless 8bitdo if you want a themed controller otherwise you can go with any kind of controller you want such as a Afterglow Prismatic Xbox One controller they often are in sale and look way better (it's not wireless thought).

I'm surprised they're not at major retailers. I can have one delivered to me within 2 hours from Amazon Prime Now. $24.99 plus taxes, delivery fee and tip so it ends up being closer to $35 anyway but if they have it I bet some places you're not thinking to check will have them for the standard $24.99 price.

Edit: you can also get this - https://www.amazon.com/Xbox-Chatpad-Chat-Headset-plugs-directly/dp/B0136JPA56

That has a 3.5mm jack and the same audio controls as the adapter plus a keyboard and it also comes with a cheap headset. My friend just got one to replace his headset adapter that stopped working.

PDP has the upcoming Talon Media Remote coming that has D-Pad and A, B, X, Y functionality as well as a number of other buttons not available on the OEM remote. It's also a full size remote unlike the OEM remote which can be awkward to hold due to it's smaller size. It'll undoubtedly be IR since there is no point in it not being so and not touting that fact.

Amazon says, October 16th but PDP's web site says December for a release date.

I would not be surprised if we see an OEM revision by the time the Scorpio is released. I have the existing OEM remote and the PDP model looks a lot better.

If you're not aware they recently brought it back
for the Xbox One and PC. If you're so inclined I'm sure you can even get an adapter for PlayStation as well.

This one?!

I was in Walmart JUST YESTERDAY and was so damn close to buying it haha.

Answering your question: PowerA makes a decent wired Xbox One controller. Amazon.co.uk link

Fixing the issue: Have you tried a different USB cable or port? There's a chance that the port you are plugging into cannot supply enough voltage to power the controller and operate the vibration motors simultaneously.

Additionally, you could just turn off the vibration and see if that helps.

i mean i'll spend a little more I suppose. Get the thrustmaster TX?

Get the official chatpad. That's what I use. Then you don't have to worry about wires and you are still able to plug a headset in if needed. There are also two programmable buttons at the bottom for whatever your heart desires (I use mine to turn the TV volume up and down). It's also backlit and times put after about 10 seconds of no use.

Xbox One Chatpad
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0136JPA56/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_GNTjzbF6J8BPK

You can bluetooth with the PS3/4. My old Turtle Beach Earforce PX5 headset only needed a chat wire for the xbox one and xbox 360.

The headset I want does game audio along with chat. So it's better than a standard headset.

An alternative to getting the chat adapter is this it has the same use as a headset adapter with the keyboard.

Thrustmaster offers a TX bundled with leather rim and T3PAs that starts at 470. Should be discounted (was last yearl

Yeah it’s just a standard XB1 controller. I’m curious where he found it for $30 but maybe on sale it could be?

This is a much better wheel than the logitech and in a sale at the moment ($300 currently) so it's only $50 over your budget.

You will have to do alot of upgrading if you ever plan to get a shifter for it though (T3PA pedals, TH8A shifter for a combined extra ~$200).

You can get it with a leather wheel trim and T3PA pedals as standard for $450: https://www.amazon.com/Thrustmaster-Racing-Wheel-Leather-Premium-Official/dp/B0151K6FPC/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1479573211&sr=8-2&keywords=thrustmaster+tx

Keep an eye out for it being reduced in the Black Friday sales next week.

If you can't afford that, the G920 with Driving Force shifter is a decent fallback.

Yeah that is the Amazon basics wired controller.

I was planning on wireless, but it looks like a company named PowerA makes officially licensed wired controllers

I'd suggest checking out an Xbox one s or x.

​

Xbox one S

​

Xbox one X

https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Xbox+one+x&ref=nb_sb_noss_2

​

I'd go with the S if you just want a 4k bluray player. Go with the x if you're also worried about playing games on it.

​

Don't forget a remote,

One of these guys will work well as an all around media device for your 4k tv.

looks like amazon has them, just look for ones without 3.5mm jack for headset

man a week too late, i just opened a controller i bought back in 2015 that is one of these

Dang. Well, if I have to pony up for an official controller anyway, I may as well go big or go home.

Relax and go click pre-order now!

The newer ones have a different design than the original Xbone controllers I think too, the originals had shiny plastic at the top above the Xbox logo, meanwhile the newer ones have the same type of plastic all long the body.

yup. i've grabbed this multiple times (they sell a 4x pack too http://www.amazon.com/Original-Black-Xbox-Controller-Analogue-Thumbsticks/dp/B00JQX91HU)

i've converted 6 controllers so far for myself and friends and these are the go-to sticks.

Here's the Amazon link to it.

Bonus content is an in-game "Supply Drop" which are usually earned for leveling up. They give you random cosmetics items and guns/attachments.

That's unfortunate....I really like the thing.

This thing also has the buttons: https://www.amazon.com/Xbox-Chatpad-Chat-Headset-plugs-directly/dp/B0136JPA56 ...but it's bulkier, and the main buttons you'd want are smaller.

Here is a Razor wired controller that is similar to the elite, at only 83$ it’s actually really nice. https://www.amazon.com/Wildcat-eSports-Customizable-Premium-Controller-Programmable/dp/B0177G3QV4

I would say that these are your best bet. It's going to be tough to find an actual custom controller for that price.

1. Titanfall Controller
   
   
   
2. Advanced Warfare Controller
   
   
   
3. Midnight Forces Controller

It's fabulous. Hibernation is greatly underrated.

The sticks I bought cost more than I remember... I'm not sure if they went up or I can't math.

Here's the link anyway. (I'm on mobile so I hope it works.)

The Afterglow controllers are some of my favorite I've ever used:

https://www.amazon.com/Afterglow-AX-1-Controller-Xbox-360-Blue/dp/B003ITY98O for the xbox 360 style

https://www.amazon.com/PDP-Afterglow-Prismatic-Wired-Controller-Xbox/dp/B00ZJRHSRW/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1474851345&sr=1-1&keywords=afterglow for the xbox one style--also is RGB instead of one color

Flattered, but I just use a normal Xbox One controller:

https://www.amazon.com/Xbox-Wireless-Controller-Grey-Green-one/dp/B074FBKCMB

Also, didn't downvote you, was busy playing Cities: Skylines.

Yes. The Titanfall one is out of stock in most places now, but you can still find it here:

http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/en_US/pdp/Xbox-One-Titanfall-Limited-Edition-Wireless-Controller/productID.295576100

The Call of Duty one will be sold seperately at most retailers, but is $5 cheaper at Amazon than everywhere else:

http://www.amazon.com/Xbox-One-Limited-Edition-Call-Duty/dp/B00MAQ02OG/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1408250902&sr=8-2&keywords=cod+controller+xbox+one

This one is WAAAAY better and only costs $20.

I find the pdp officially licensed even better as the battery life lasts longer.

PDP Talon Media Remote Control for Xbox One, TV, Blu-ray & Streaming Media https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GOK34SO/

I’ve had much better results with this one. Buttons still light up and it has more functions to boot.

My Favorites are the Xbox 360 controller and the Xbox One. Those two work with every game and the buttons show up correctly since both Windows and Xbox are made by Microsoft.

Amazon Price Matched it as well
