My controller after a few months of hard gaming.

Is the lag the same if the controller is connected to the USB port? Also, have you tried a hard reboot of the Xbox to see if that corrects the problem since you say it just started happening after a few months of no problem.

Any good xbox one controller will do. After a few months of gaming it have to be replaced anyway.

That game was so much fun when it was released. The player base died quick after a few months and It was hard to find people to play with that's why u stopped.

My day One controller was problem free until a few months ago when I dropped it hard on one of the bumpers, my fault nothing to do with the controller. Replacement new controller was a sturdier build and was working perfectly. Had to replace console
so got an Elite model with the Elite controller and I can confirm it is Elite.

The elite controllers are really, really nice but my controller broke down after a few months but Im assuming that's because I dropped it on hardwood. So if you are trying to game competitively then use the elite but if you are not and want to stay low
budget go with the regular default matte black controller. Hope this helps!
