    Why are the controllers such junk?


    I mean, I love the design and comfort of them, but they are just built so poorly. If you get a good one, its great, but two out of three xb1 controllers I bought were defective. The first one had the right side front and back plates seperating. I mean I
    could literally just pull it apart. Not a problem, I thought, probably just a launch issue. I swapped it out at the store. Now this one wont take the headset. The headset WILL NOT fit in the port at the bottom. Unbelievable. And I waited on the phone/chat
    for an hour to be asked to "re-enable some settings on the xbox 1 dashboard." are you freaking kidding me? I told them "I honestly dont thing settings will change the fact that the port is screwed up." So after all that work, I have to ship it back to them
    so they can eventually replace it. Junk, seriously. Rant over, sorry.

    :)

  2. Dear, Mr Mattrick and Xbox Executives.

    What if I only want to play Kinect games? They should make a SKU without a controller. Controllers are such a gimmick! WHY DO YOU HATE YOUR CUSTOMERS, MICROSOFT!!!

    Modded Controllers grounds for banning?

    No the reason people get banned for "modded controllers" are usually banned for lag switching. Microsoft are actually supporting modded controllers such as scuf.

    everytime I go and play on the 360, as soon as I pick up the controller I think I wish I could use the XO controller

    Bit unlucky to have that many problems with a controller. But thankfully I haven't had any issues with mine. I always thought the 360 controller was perfect, the the XB1 for me is a massive improvement.

    I think the build quality on the xbox one controller is nowhere near as good as the 360 controller, The left hand side of mine is loose already.

  14. Maybe you're just an aggressive gamer? Hehe, I haven't had any issues with my Xbox One controller at all. Feels sturdy and comfortable. I guess you just have bad luck.

  15. I've got 3 and haven't had any issues, my Kinect on the other hand isn't working. I guess it's just luck of the draw.
