What do you refuse to get generic versions of?

    Game console controllers. Miss me with that flimsy shit.

    Except the Xbox Series X controller. That thing’s a nightmare. I use my old One controller for that.

      Interesting. I still use the 360 controller on my PC because that thing is a tank. Basically indestructible. But my One controllers are garbage. The plastic was so badly formed I got aftermarket grips because it was constantly pinching my hands. It also feels like I could twist it in to pieces with by hand. The Series X controller fails to live up to the 360 but it feels significantly more solid and the pieces at least fit together.

        I do feel I could break my xbox controller easily if I twisted it. It’s got some heft but not much. The 360 controller did feel a bit more solid.

        The series x controller is also nice. Disturbingly light but I appreciate that it’s good for long sessions to have a light controller. It’s just the damn button sound. It makes a nasally little twing-click sound each time the button is pressed. Drives me nuts.

      What’s wrong with the series x controller? I bought one for my pc when my xbox one controller died. I haven’t really used it loads yet to be fair, but it seems fine to me. I preferred the +style dpad on xbox one but other than that it feels basically the same to me.
