Xboxelite wiresless 2 controller worth it

[Jonathan]

im searching for a wireless controller for my pc, as i hAve a bluetooth adapter (have no intergrated bluetooth) and my old xbox one controller (2016) doesnt have bluetooth,

so is it worth spending 200 euro for a controller i use mainly for the yakuza games? as i like my own personilized controller with ofcours bluetooth

opinions don't matter when it's an objectively terrible controller. you can still opt to use it tho. your choice.

I played both fh4 and 5 on the xbox app, using a dualsense with ds4windows... didn't have to do anything lol


this isn't my experience since even diehard xbox fans use third party controllers... I played yakuza too and it worked fine on my dualshock and dualsense.

stick drift is a big problem on xbox controllers. I have tested 6 new series controllers until I gave up and asked for a refund. the store I bought it from, even tested them and confirmed my results in front of my eyes. one of the employees even admitted people return xbox controllers more often than ds.

you probably have drift and don't notice it or it doesn't matter inthe games you are playing.

no i dont have drifts or i would notice for sure as im keen for quality, i have tried multiple times for my dualsense controler, cable/bluetooth but it still doesnt workl for me.

get ds4windows and set up hidhide. that way you won't get double-input and it will work as a xinput controller

i think i have tried that also but i can look back to it but the game would probably show xinput controlls my autism brain cant handle that lmao

Sometimes you can find the controller for at least 30% off but it is a good controller and modular which is interesting.

stick drift was just made up on the internet to mess with people anyway.. got xbox one (with bt) works absolutely fine

I have seen "analog stick drifting" that was caused by the games own code.

Stick drift is a real thing 🤦‍♀️ I have a Steam Controller which the analog stick is worn out and will input errant directional input when sitting centered. I have two Xbox One controllers with the left analog stick drifting. It happens because of the mechanical wear on a potentiometer. The same thing happens on the volume and tone pots on cheap guitars where you’ll start getting static and random volume changes / “wobble”.

And you are wildly confused on “games own code” causing “stick drift”. All analog sticks that are based on potentiometers will have some small amount of drift inherent in them. This means their “0 x 0” coordinate isn’t going to be precise. What you’re referring to regarding coding flaws is a result of either not having a dead zone or having the dead zone incorrectly sized so that the small errant values aren’t ignored.

@OP if you’re going to spend that much on a controller the King Kong Pro 3 is way better than the Xbox Elite 2 controller, especially for your use case.

Ew, no.

tbf i dont like the design of it my fiance next to me is saying ''its the same'' its not for me for me its a disgusting design

imho, no its not
it does have the more rubbery grips and trigger limits and a few other things like that
but its still the same pcb as the regular $40-50 controller

sticks will drift after a year of two of use

if yours is the launch xbone controller, non bt with face plate plastics not around the xbox button

the xb s/x controller is much nicer build inside

i had zero issues on all my controllers only some buttons getting stucxk bvut those days i was a child, i lived and breathed exbox without any stick drift but thanks for your opinion

i have a bucket of bad pots from stick modules that would beg to differ

can test with pulled out of circuit with a multimeter, they read 0 to 10k, and a few spots near the middle will be open
its the cap in circuit that slowly drains the charge that creates the 'drift' as its no longer being charged/drained by the voltage dividing pot

edit:
im pretty sure these are the ones i have been replacing them with

sometime i need to trim off the alignment pins on the bottom of their plastic base

I invested in rubber analog stick caps because I had an xBox 360 controller where the rubber part on top ripped clean off after like 10 years of use or so but other than that, both the regular xBox One and Elite 2 have not shown any wear or tear unlike the older xBox 360 and PS3 controllers (the PS3 controller had other issues).

No, just get Xbox Core Controller and a rubberized skin for it and maybe some thumb stick add-ons. Or look at the 8BitDo controllers

As for PS3 controllers, those are too much trouble when it comes to using on PC anyways.

It’s not gonna be the same, xbox elite 2 has very long battery life.
I’m charging mine once a month usually.

The Xbox One and Core controllers don't come with batteries. Those what is best is go buy a 2 pack of the aftermarket sealed rechargeable packs with wall charger that are around 2200Mah or higher. Those actually can last quite a while.

Paying over $100 for a controller is just dumb. And most of what an Xbox Elite controller offers can't always be utilized properly on PC

It’s one time purchase anyway, so who cares if it’s 100+

[Bad 💀 Motha]

Buy one yourself then from a place like Amazon that has easy returns. Give it a good run test for about a week. If don't like it, return it.
