Microsoft is the shadiest company on the planet. I swear they make these things with the intent of having them break like glass. It’s not like a wireless controller some new invention. They don’t even have the typical variety of colors, if you want anything but white and black, you need to buy a special edition xbox to go with it.
It’s about time they sell a red controller solo, but of course it’s not just the controller, you have to buy the charger kit that comes with it too. Yet I can’t get a replacement for my Halo edition green controller or buy any cool ‘ice’ controllers (see through chasis) which Sony has offered for over a decade. God forbid you try to mod the thing, M$ uses security pins in all the wireless controllers to prevent you from customizing or repairing the equipment you paid $50 for.
I’m glad I bought a 360 but it’s such a hassle to replace these crappy controllers after only a few short months. If there were any viable 3rd party option (Saitek is mostly a PC gamepad and MAdCatz has sucked for ages) I’d go with them in a heartbeat.
