Ranking 5 of the Most Popular Xbox One Controllers

Looking To Upgrade From Your Traditional Xbox One Controller? This Post Will Lay Out Some Of The Pros And Cons Of 5 Of The Most Popular Xbox One Controllers.

Xbox One Series 2 Elite controller

• $189.99
• 4 mappable buttons.
• This controller is touted as having the most solid feel, with some of the most convenient features. From the 4 mappable buttons to the charging case, Microsoft went all out with this controller. While expensive, the undeniably high-quality feel of the controller takes gaming to the next level. One of the greatest features is the charging case.
• With a 5m long cable, you can plug right into the case and place your controller inside to charge it. Otherwise, you could just plug it straight into your Xbox or PC to never have to worry about charging. The charge itself holds for approximately 15-20 hours. However, many people (me included) have found the RB/LB to be overly fragile. Both of mine broke within the first year. Next, my A button became stuck, and both of the joysticks developed stick drift. Fortunately, you can buy replacement bumpers for the controller. However, plenty of customers have gotten lucky and report that they have never used such a remarkable controller before.

• Comes with a carrying case.
• Second faceplate for extra customization.
• Two tall, two concave, and two convex interchangeable thumb sticks.

• While the buttons of most controllers feel spongy, the Wolverine sports buttons that are more akin to mouse clicks, offering very quick pressing and an incredibly satisfying sound.

Other reviewers, however, have had similar problems with this controller as with the Series 2 Elite.
