Until fairly recently all 3rd party xbox one controllers cost basically the same amount as the official controller, and were built cheaply to boot, why would you even buy them over the official one.Finally now we have 3rd party controllers that are actually cheap! This isn’t as good as the official controller but its WAY cheaper and still works great. Its less fragile than an elite 2 controller at least, its pretty sturdy in fact. If you have clumsy kids who throw things or if rage while you game you might want this controller just because its much more likely to survive being dropped or thrown.Finally weve reached the days of decent budget controllers for modern consoles, like in the days of the original xbox and xbox360. Glad we finally got there.
