Xbox Series X / S

I don't mind Xbox, PS5 or the 8bitdo. They all feel and handle good.

Cant lie the PS2/3 is a tad 2 small and make my hands cramp up after a while.

Astrum is just ****.

I'm glad I'm not the only one with a controller addiction.

I think this is just the start :eek:

* I have a third dual shock but it's with a buddy. Have to replace the thumbsticks on the two I have as they're really broken.

* Joy-cons don't count.

I don't have a controller addiction, more like access to game addiction. All 6 pictured above have a dedicated purpose, as in with them I have access to all generations of consoles, if not on said console directly then via emulation. :D

What, no white XB360 controller? Disappointing

Okay I also have 2 white Xbox 360 controllers and 2 black ones, also have 2 dual shock 3s. The only ones not really being used that much anymore are the 360s as they used to be used on the PC with a wireless adapter, but it turns out the one I have is going wonky now. Also after the One controller the 360 one feels a bit antique.

So far it's been 33 days, I booked it in on the 9th, have had no movement from UPS, says tracking number doesn't exist, you can't actually get ahold of anyone from Microsoft either. Wife has been using a R500 second hand controller picked up at a Cash Crusaders.

So a couple things on this, from my experience. Replying because when I had questions, I couldn’t find anything for help.


that UPS number is not a UPS number, it’s a Seabourne courier number.

call them and ask to speak to Xbox / Keneilwe.

I started the process on the Microsoft website, next day I got an email with the package slip / waybill. I packaged it and they picked it up like a day or 2 later.

2-3 days later the tracking said it arrived and it didn’t update on the Microsoft website but when I called, they said the system is processing it and it’s been marked as received.

Then just over a week later, I got a shipping notification from Microsoft with a UPS number, that was not a UPS number. It was a Seabourne courier tracking number.

The warehouse is in kempton park, and from what I gauge, Seabourne handle almost everything with this stuff and warranties.

the controller came the next day (they ship to you with next day shipping, nice.) and it was just a controller in a brown box with bubble wrap - I’m pretty sure it was a refurbish but I am not too sure.

The guy that picked it up told me that his picked up controllers from the same customer 5 times before.

The controller works fine, original issue was a broken aux port.

I've waited for over a month, who do you call to speak to Xbox? There are no contact numbers.

Call Seabourne couriers with your order number (from MSFT) // ask to speak for Xbox orders or ask to speak to kenielwe

Thanks for this, no way to contact Microsoft, they say it's a UPS tracking number when it's not. Seems the package was sent back to Microsoft as it was with them for 3 weeks already, not a single word from MS to go through and pick it up or follow up or nothing, just sitting on their website saying package is on it's way.

For all my controllers, there's only one that I find myself using.

Ever tried to slide, jump, shoot and reload without lifting your thumb from the stick? You can't on a normal controller.

I keep getting hate mail about how I'm going to be reported for cheating. On crossplay games I'm almost on par with PC players...

I could never get used to the paddles, I had to remove them because I keep accidentally hitting them and don't have the patience to relearn how I hold the controller.

Particularly for FPS that have cross play (but no separate lobbies) - can play with my PC friends and suffer for controller usage...

I have that issue with the small ones, so I just use the long ones and map them to the two most used face buttons...

Nice

pity all the FPS’s that I want to play don’t support keyboard and mouse.
I wonder as a developer how much effort this really is, as all these games are on windows too

There's growing support which I think is really cool.

I think any MS title will get it by default - and other development houses have the option.
