this almost feels like a part 2 of the
video that I just recorded like a week
or two ago when I actually went ahead
and uh I reviewed this controller
unboxed it and review the brand-new
Microsoft Xbox one green or gray / green
controller and I said in that video that
I had a buy a new controller because
this one broke again for like the four
hundred and eighty seventh time so in
this video I'm gonna go ahead and to
address the glaring issues with these
Microsoft Xbox one controllers so sit
back watch and enjoy like I said in the
beginning it was just about a week or
two ago that I made a video reviewing
the brand new Xbox one green / gray
controller and I said in that video then
I would be making a rant video about the
Xbox one controllers and aimed at
Microsoft because yet again I had to go
buy another one no this is not a DJ
Khaled song I literally had to go buy
another goddamn Xbox one controller now
you might be saying to yourself what do
you mean another one why are you stating
it like that well the reason is because
this is like the fourth damn controller
I've bought and in the past two years
yeah that's a lot now mind you I only
play on my xbox 1s by myself I'm the
only person that uses my xbox 1s I am
the only person that uses the controller
now this is not no new thing
anybody who's all in the next box one or
an Xbox 360 for a long period of time
pretty much knows that if you use it on
a daily basis or any long gated period
of time over time something will go
wrong with your controller and it's
usually the same exact things that
happen all the time now it seems that
recently though you know three years ago
Xbox controllers used to last me for
about a year and I thought that was bad
you know these controllers are not cheap
they're $60 apiece
sixty-five dollars if you want the
brand-new one that I just reviewed but
there's $60 each that's not cheap when
you're paying three to four hundred five
hundred dollars for a console and you're
paying forty fifty sixty dollars a
hundred dollars for video games the last
thing you should worry about replacing
all the time is the controller that you
use to actually engage with the console
these things should last for a while now
I can understand if these things lasted
for two to three years and you how to
buy another one you know that's cool but
that's not been the case for me and for
most of people I know and I've talked to
a lot of friends and a lot of people
that have had the same issues with these
controllers now I think that Microsoft
makes these controllers more cheaper
nowadays personally because they know
that people have no choice if they want
a game on their xbox if your controller
breaks you have no choice you got to run
right out to your local Best Buy Game
Stop or Walmart and go spend 60 bucks on
a new controller or maybe you order it
on Amazon have it shipped my prime but
you gotta get another controller they
know that they have you at their mercy
because if your controller goes out you
have a paperweight of an Xbox can't use
it so I personally think that they've
been making these controllers much more
cheaper because in the past two years
like I said I have went through four or
five of these things I think this is the
fifth one I bought in the past two years
now maybe they market these controllers
towards very very very casual games
maybe they just market these controllers
towards the person that's gonna turn on
their Xbox and maybe only game for one
or two days a week for maybe two to
three hours at a time now I can
understand if you gamed on your xbox
maybe one or two days a week and you use
it for two to three hours at a time if
you are only putting four to six hours a
week in on your xbox
maybe the controller will hold up a lot
longer for you but for a lot of true
gamers like myself we came on our Xbox
is way more than anything I'd say I
probably gained four four hours a day on
my xbox so now I'm gaining theoretically
as much in one day as a normal person
who only plays one or two days a week
for two to three hours at a time I'm
gaming as much in one day as that normal
person doesn't
week sometimes and you guys have been
there as well you know when a new game
comes out you get excited you want to
play maybe you got the day off from work
maybe or got the day off from school
maybe you're on vacation and you want to
get some long gaming sessions in you
know what new game just came out you
know you've been there as well as I've
been there as well
well you'll sit there with your friends
sometimes they'll play a game for 8 10
12 hours a day for like the first week
it comes out that's a lot of wear tear
under controller and that's usually what
I do and these controllers they usually
break and it always seems like the same
issues with these controllers all the
time all the freaking time you would
think by now so many people have
complained about this on forums look at
their reviews on the official Microsoft
website where people are leaving one and
two bad star reviews on the controller
stating that something on these
controllers always goes out always
bricks and you would think that
Microsoft would learn from their
mistakes and it's been like for years
and people have been complaining about
the same issues with these controllers
but yet the exact same issues keep
happening with these controllers I would
even spend more money on a controller if
it was beefed up with better parts and
don't sit here and try to tell me that
the Xbox one elite controller for 150
dollars is a beefed-up better controller
because you want to know why I bought
one not only did I buy one the big Andy
Botwin my friend homicide on one and two
of my other friends owned them as well
in five to seven months down the road
the same exact problems that we all have
with the regular controllers happened as
well with a hundred and fifty dollar
elite controllers the exact same problem
so I'm like well [ __ ] if I'm gonna have
those issues on a $60 controller and I'm
gonna have the same issues on a 150
dollar controller then I'm not gonna go
ahead and waste 150 dollars on the
controller that's gonna have the same
issues as the $60 one it's a waste of
money now what are those issues you're
talking about well I'm sure if you're
watching this video you're probably in
your head already know the issues and
I'm talking about because I'm pretty
sure it has happened to you as well on
your Xbox one controller
some of the greatest issues of all time
this is like a top 10 list or it may be
like a Greatest Hits list greatest hit
number one the triggers it seems a lot
of times when you use these controllers
the triggers after a while will start
going
down and down and down more and they'll
start just getting really soft to the
point where they just don't work that
well anymore but that's not even the
biggest issue let's go on to another
bigger bigger issue because this is the
one that seems to happen all the time
for me the bumpers the left bumper
especially and the right bumper but
especially this left bumper it seems
that when I'm playing a game you know
I'm sitting there and I'm playing I'm
hitting this left bumper I'm hitting
this thing probably hundreds upon
hundreds of times a day it seems that
after three to four months the left the
bumper stops working I'll hit it it
won't register I'll hit it again it
won't register I'll hit it again it'll
register it seems like it only works
like fifty thirty percent of the time
after about three to four months we've
all had issues with the D pads as well
all of us sometimes our D pad you go to
hit up on it it don't register
you're gonna hit down on it it doesn't
register the main area that you use
let's say you use the up on the d-pad
you know ten times more than the left
rider down eventually after a couple
months the up is just not gonna work
anymore or it's only gonna work half the
time but the major major major issues
major issues we're going into another
one is the buttons getting stuck in the
controller if you play first-person
shooter games like Call of Duty or maybe
you play shooter games in general Call
of Duty battle of a battle field I was
gonna call it battle something else
battlefield fortnight then you know that
you use your X button all the time to
reload your gun and I could tell you so
many times after owning a new controller
for about four months that my X button
will start to get a little sluggish
you'll push it in sometimes it'll stick
and it won't come back up sometimes it
happens and it sucks and it happens a
lot but the biggest issue of all the
number one greatest hit this problem
spent 18 weeks straight as the number
one hit on the charts at one time is the
thumbsticks the old analog thumb sticks
and then you might be saying to yourself
what are the issues with the thumb
sticks well it just seems that if you
use your controller a lot like I pointed
out earlier inside of this video that
your thumb sticks will start to walk on
you in about three to five months now
maybe you know what I'm talking about
and you know what it means to have your
thumb sticks walk and maybe you don't or
maybe you know what I'm talking about
but you never knew it was called walking
so basically you have your thumb stick
here okay now when you first get the new
controller this is a brand new control I
haven't even use it you can see on this
thumb stick when you go to move it
slightly very very slightly with barely
no pressure it doesn't move it doesn't
move at all now let's take this
controller iPhone since March and it's
July so I've only had it for about four
months now let's do the same little
amount of pressure you see that I don't
know if you guys could see that on the
camera but the thumb stick ever so
slightly both of these they ever so
slightly get loose and they start
walking theoretically on their own have
you ever had your controller and you're
using it and stuff and you go to like
hit you know a button and then you don't
touch it but then you see the character
on your screen is still like walking and
it's still moving and you're not even
touching the controller that's because
your thumb sticks have been wearing out
and they're starting to drift on their
own and why is that bad well it screws
up your aim completely it completely
screws up your aim and shorter games or
anything else you're doing that little
you know a couple you know milla inches
if that's even a word that that your
controller is off when you're actually
moving it is gonna screw up your aim
it's not going to reset back to zero
quick because it's walking all over the
place it's very loose look man $60 is a
lot of money for one of these
controllers it seems that every four to
five months max max I game for maybe
five hours a day I have to go buy
another controller because I just had to
replace this controller with this
controller like I said I did a review
video on this I'll link it in the
description I just had to go out and buy
a new controller I just bought this
controller at the beginning of March of
2018 I just bought this controller the
first week of July I think it's like
July 8th right now July 9th when I'm
recording this video what is it three
and a half not even four months this
controller went out of me already had
four months of normal gaming guys I take
very very good care of my equipment as
you can see I'm an adult I'm almost 35
years old I don't throw my controllers I
don't eat and get grease on my
controllers I take care of my stuff I
take care of everything I own when I'm
done gaming with this
controller I set it down and I put it up
there on top of a dock I even have a
dock that it sits in so it's not ever
being used and look how clean it is I've
owned this controller for four months
it's clean
I didn't haven't never only thing I've
wiped this controller off in months I
take care of my products but still I've
only owned this controller for less than
four months my LB button doesn't work
60% of the time I'll click it won't work
I'll click it won't work I'll click it I
have to like click it at the very top up
here just to even make it work if I
click anywhere else don't work my left
analog foam stick constantly drips and
walks on me everywhere my up on my d-pad
works less than 50% of the time and
sometimes it makes this weird clicking
noise when I actually go to clicking it
my ex button maybe works 50% of the time
when I hit it it'll get stuck and then
come up off slowly or I gotta like take
my nail and hit it again and then it'll
pop up it sucks okay the quality
assurance and the quality control on
these and Microsoft Xbox one controllers
is a travesty like I said in the
beginning of this video I don't know
purposely if Microsoft is making these
controllers cheaper than they used to be
but I know like three or four years ago
when I was buying the controller they
would last me for about a year before I
had to replace it that's not that long
time these controllers should be lasting
for two to three years Menem but a year
is a lot better than me having to
replace them every three to four or five
months that's just ridiculous and it's
an issue it's a quality control issue
Microsoft and it's a quality assurance
issue and us as consumers not just
gamers because we're consumers because
we spent money on your electronics and
your gaming related peripherals and
accessories us as consumers deserve
better if we spent four or five hundred
dollars on your console and we spent $60
on your game and we spend another $60 a
year on Xbox Live Gold
we shouldn't have to buy a new
controller every six months or less for
$60 you need to make these controllers
better you need to use better parts in
the thumbsticks
okay the analog sticks they need to be
beefed up somehow so they don't walk as
much more tension or something maybe use
metal instead of plastic I don't know
you need to use something different on
the bumpers the main issues that most
gamers and most players have with these
controllers the parts that go out the
most are always the bumpers and the
thumb sticks those are the number one
and two things
the X buttons the X Y VZ UGG buttons
issues with those the triggers issues
with those you know if they made a
controller that was like like I said
these controllers were $59.99
if they made a controller that was like
$79.99 whoa that's a lot of money if
they made a controller that was $79.99
or even $99.99 that was just the exact
same controllers but maybe it had a
rubberized nice soft grip on it like the
elite one does really really you know
good the grip nice and soft but they
used like metal thumb sticks or a better
tension that used better buttons they
beefed up the parts the actual internal
parts inside of these things they beat
them up so you knew that this controller
would last you two to three years maybe
they even stood behind it and they said
we will give you a no-questions-asked
three-year warranty on these controllers
because these controllers don't have no
damn three year warranties because they
know that they're gonna break but maybe
if they beefed them up they sold them to
you for $99 and they said it includes a
three year no question axe warranty
replacement plan I would spend $100 on
that controller in a heartbeat
I might even spend 150 just because I
know I'm getting a quality product and I
know if I have any issues with it that I
could just replace it out but instead I
have to keep going buy $60 controllers
every four months and it's a goddamn
shame you know another thing I was
looking at is now while I was reading
this box this new box I got I'm looking
at the side of it I'm looking at the
back of it I'm looking at the other side
of it I'm looking at the top and I am
also looking at the bottom and nowhere
on this box does it say anywhere how
long the warranty is on this controller
doesn't save on the box anywhere even in
the fine print right here it says you
must accept the warranty and agreement
at Xbox comm / Xbox one slash warranty
and software license agreement at Xbox
comm / xbox one slash SLT it doesn't say
anywhere on this box anywhere how long
the warranty actually even is it's like
they're hiding it from you because they
pretty much know that they don't offer
no warranties on these things and they
pretty much know that these things are
cheap pieces of junk and you're gonna
have to buy another one but with that
being said there are a couple ways of
roundness now if you're like me you can
go I buy most of my stuff at
by if you're like me you can go to Best
Buy and you can buy a controller for $60
you could then purchase a Best Buy
two-year replacement plan on your
controller it's $11.99 it'll last for
two years if you have any issues at all
with your controller you bring it back
to Best Buy any time within two years
and they will replace it out for you
free of charge because you bought the
warranty now at the time that you buy
the or you replace out your controllers
say this one went out and I had a two
year extended warranty on it I take it
back to Best Buy they exchanged it out
for me for this controller at the time
that you buy this controller you could
then go ahead and purchase another to
here replacement plan on your new
controller for $11.99 in two years after
that one if this one breaks you can then
take this one back and buy another or
get another controller for free well
theoretically not for free but for $12
for two years six dollars a year and
then when you go to replace out this
controller you can buy another two-year
replacement plan for $12 that's good and
bad the reason why it's good is because
Best Buy is going to have your vacuum
short other you know other stores and
you know competitors offer extended
warranties on their things but I shop at
Best Buy because I'm loyal to Best Buy
but it's good in bed because it's good
because Best Buy is going to take care
of it for you just to walk into any Best
Buy store and then replace out your
control freak but at the same time it's
bad because Microsoft is making you
spend an additional twelve dollars for
two years on an extended warranty that
we shouldn't have to spend our money on
if they just made a quality controller
that would last longer than three to
five months Xbox Microsoft look you guys
are a long tenured company in the United
States you have a lot of loyal Xbox and
Microsoft supporters you know Windows
supporters Microsoft supporters the
whole nine look we we love you guys we
love your products but at the same time
we need better Xbox controllers man stop
feeding up this deceit junk made in
China
cheap controllers that break every three
to four to five months it's terrible we
deserve better we will even pay more
I would I would pay more I paid extra
twenty bucks or $40 for a controller I
know that's gonna be beefed up
internally and have a longer warranty by
you guys no questions asked but you
offer that so it's 2018 pounds would be
2019 in about five months I think it's
about time you guys stopped dropping the
ball and started actually picking up the
ball and solidifying your products and
your accessories and your peripherals
and making them last longer so could sue
so consumers can feel like they're
getting more value out of your products
and would recommend it to other people
to buy and would stay loyal to your
brand so basically I know this was a
long video and those was a long ramp but
it's years in the making if any of you
guys have ever owned an Xbox controller
I'm sure that you've dealt with the
issues that I've went through I
guarantee you anybody watching this
video that has owned an Xbox 360 and
Xbox one and Xbox 1s or an Xbox one X or
any Xbox console you have had to replace
your controller at one point due to
something malfunctioning on your
controller and at $60 a piece it's a lot
of money when you have to replace them
as often as you do so if you guys could
take your time to share this video with
your friends share it on Facebook share
it everywhere maybe just maybe if
Microsoft actually sees this video they
will start making changes to better the
equipment and better their quality
control and quality assurance on their
products thus making them last longer
thus making us the consumers actually
save money and once again become a
believer in their products so if you
