The Xbox controller has always stayed faithful to it's original but with more modern features, it is my favourite controller of all time.

[GetVladimir]

Why did they test only the buttons for 10 years of durability, but not the actual analog sticks?

Other than that, the Xbox controller is one of my favorite controllers.

I really like the quick sync button that lets you switch between synced devices with a double tap

The Series X controller is my most favourite controller of all time.

[SiskoSvK]

I can't think of anything else to be improved on the controller. I've got the basic one with my Series X, the Forza Edition one, the 25th Anniversary one and Series Elite 2 one. Top satisfaction with all of them.

Well isn’t this convenient timing? 👀👀 I just bought the Xbox Steller Shift controller bc I’m obsessed with Purple and I’M NEVER BUYING A DIFFERENT CONTROLLER! 😍😍

3 million presses shame the buttons don't always work

[Koukisx]

The Elite controller wants a word, the durability of the bumpers, especially last about 6 months IF you’re lucky. Same can be said for the stick drift.

[kemarchristie]

Actually never knew about that double tap sync button feature. Thank you for that💯💯

[Infiniteblue]

something i learned about Xbox controllers, is that you can have 2 controllers assigned to a profile at once. for certain games i will have two controllers on one controller to perform certain task and then i will pick my other controller if i need my character to do something specific. probably not what it was intended for but in came in handy when my best controller right analog was broken and it couldn't click. but yeah 2 ontollers to control one character like in Elden ring, Monster hunter etc.

The 360 controller is my favorite and i am super excited to hear that Hyperkin is making a series x/s verson of it in comming in June!🎉

[huer]

Greatest...damn...gaming controller EVER!💚😌

[prayyurlife]

Great video 👏👏 keep up the good work 💪

[noblewolf]

3 million presses?

I had my series S controller replaced twice for stick drift. But I can confidently say my 3rd controller is holding up nicely for over a year now

[WaynesWorldUnlimited]

I do enjoy the Xbox series X controller. Personally it’s my favourite controller but with all the money they spend on developing these things could we please have one where the D pad is not so bloody noisy. I mean really clicking D pad I have four controllers and they’re all as nosy as each other, and they’re brand-new

[xsiner]

You might have buttons that work a long time but I am sure your sticks won't, the one that came with my series X died within 3 months.

[SamuraiMerrick]

Fix the god damn face buttons already and go to Hall effect sensor joysticks.

[BA-rhhy]

The Xbox controller is very comfortable for me.

[JoshyH]

3 million presses and 3 clicks until the bumpers give in 😜😂

[FAKEgamerzTV]

I’ve had many controllers die before 3mil button presses. Even had a series 1 elite die in 3 months of daily use (cod gaming w/ eso) xbox support stated they wouldn’t honor the warranty on it due to mass failures in operation! Main buttons that failed on now 6 different controllers from orig xbox one to the series x/s controllers are the bumpers as well as the Xbox (home) button failing to register being pressed.

[jonathanwhite]

Haha I've gone through 3 controllers since getting the series x... still dreading the stick drift heading my way after buying the Elite controller😂
