Need feedback on 3rd party controllers.

Sabertooth is a great controller. Only thing is for me one of the four buttons on the bottom which work with the rockers on the bottom finally broke a week ago and before that like eight months in one of the metal rocker spring cages broke from fatigue.
I mostly blame myself since I have it bound to the A button and played a lot of GTAV so I was mashing that thing pretty hard and at times a couple hundred times a minute running around for hours. Could have just took the rocker off and put the cover back on
and wouldn't have ever noticed it, but the underside rockers are just so useful. Took it apart and soldered a replacement button in myself didn't even need to pull out my custom bit set since the screwdriver to remove or attach the toggle triggers works on
all the other screws. If it was still in warranty I would have sent it in for a replacement Razer since their warranty support is really great. When I broke the rocker for the Sabertooth they wanted the controller back and broken rocker, but let me keep the
carrying case, break away cable, and working rocker. Shipped me back a brand new boxed one plus an extra set of rockers. Before that I had a Razer Onza I let someone borrow since they broke their official controller and they broke a stick somehow. Still under
warranty and all they wanted was a picture with the cord cut and they just shipped me a new controller which is still in it's box.

Besides that one button I replaced for the underside toggle rockers the two sticks are still rock solid centered and the buttons used for everything else AYBX, Bumpers, start button, LCD controls and top bindable buttons are a different better type. A lot
better than the rubber contact type in the official controllers. Triggers still have identical pressure as new even though the right ones gets a lot more use. Feel of the controller is great and the rubberized coating is still in perfect shape. As soon as
they release a model with the same features for the One I will buy it even with how great the Ones controller is.

If you are going to purchase a 3rd party controller just make sure that it is an officially licensed product. As un-licensed products can be in breach of the T&C`s.

Hello Jordan davis.,

Welcome to the Xbox Community Forum. Thank you for sharing your concern with us today and we hope that all is well.

If your headset works correctly while using your Xbox controller, then we recommend that you continue using your Xbox controller instead of a 3rd-party controller for your console use.

Microsoft can't guarantee that our accessories will work with 3rd-party accessories, or that 3rd-party accessories will work correctly with our hardware. Please refer to the 3rd-party controller manufacturer website on how to properly use it with an Xbox or a headset, or if it even supports headset use for the console as some 3rd-party controllers may not.

Additionally, you may need to update your 3rd-party controllers' firmware using you PC in order for it to work properly. In any case, you will need to check the manufacturer's website for both your headset and your 3rd-party controller to see if they support connectivity with one another and to the console.

Sincerely,



Xbox Customer Success Manager

Hey,

Just need a bit of info, is this a 3rd party controller or is this an official xbox controller also is this a wired or wireless controller.

You might find a 3rd party controller that fits your needs, but I couldn't find one, wired controllers are not that popular... sorry
