Why the hell did i get cod on X1

Uh no I don't think so Az, It's as Floppy says it gives and flexes in the hand when squeezed tightly due to the construction, nothing to do with feedback through it.

 

My Day One controller's case doesn't sit properly on the left hand side. Still works fine. Just a niggle.

Sure it does.



It goes both ways. You can squeeze your controller and feel that it might give a little but you're not going to break it unless you try to do so on purpose.



The thinner design allows for the more subtle feedback that you get from your more complex controller.



Don't believe me?



Ask Microsoft.

 

I don't need MS to tell me what my hands are feeling and my eyes can see. If you wish to go on convincing yourself of that then be my guest.

 

So Microsoft thought they'd save themselves some money by building a thinner lighter shell?



And then tried to trick us with the trailers they released about the controller?

Also, I've used various XB1 controllers, my own, family/friends etc but anyone else get the impression ( I'm not saying that's the case ) that maybe their not put together quite right? or the quality might not be the best? because and maybe I grip the controller
too tightly but they do make some weird "crinking and cracking " .. ( best way I could describe it ) noises, I get the feeling sometimes it will just fall to pieces in my hands lol.

Yeah, mines the same, it's the way the main body of the pad is made from what I can tell.... It seems to be 4 pieces (top, bottom and each side at the back) instead of the usual 2 (front and back). There's definitely a bit of "give" in the joins....

EDIT: It certainly makes it feel more cheaply made, but judging by the rest of the pad I don't think it's that, just a poor design/construction choice.

I agree, I don't think it's cheaply made ( Even though it does give you the impression it is ) by all reports they put a lot of time and money into the new controller, like you said, probably a poor design/construction choice.

The reason I posted back in here ( Probably jinxed it myself since posting lol ) is my daughters controller developed some kind of fault with the right trigger, over recent weeks it did stick now and again, today it packed up completely, just wouldn't work
at all.

Luckily GAME replaced it today with a brand new one so all is good again. What's interesting though, the guy said, since Xbox One launched, they have had 4 ( including me today ) people come back in with faulty controllers and all had issues with the right
trigger. I know 4 people with the amount of consoles they have sold isn't a lot, weird all had same issue though.

 

@ Az - You'd be surprised to know that Microsoft are in this game to make as much money as they can from us. They'll tell us what we want to hear if it means the consumers handing over their cash.

Sorry to be the one to break the news to you, but that's just the way it is.

Yeah, I still think they put more effort into the XBox ONE controller than you're prepared to give them credit for.



Which games have you got?

 

I think its fantastic how if the One is turned off and you pick up the controller and give it a reasonably firm grip it makes a creaking sound and the seam between the two plastic joins seems to give a little, now that really is feedback.

 

I'm going to have to try that now

lol ...

Like I said, overall I do prefer the ONE controller over the 360 ( The actual feel of it ). With the 360 one though it felt robust lets say, the ONE controller gives the impression it won't stand the test of time.

 

^ Thats exactly right Lofy, I like the controller itself I have no issues with its performance.

of the techies from MS discussing it

I get what people are saying about the slight creaking sensation, although I only notice it when pressing the analog sticks in for sprinting/zooming etc, overall I love the controller - fits like a dream in my mitts! got the Titanfall ltd ed on the way to accompany
my day one : )

 

Nope Im still not having that what I experience with the creaking and the seams widening under pressure is a deliberate design innovation.
