Sorry if this creates any bad reputation of some sort. Just trying to save someone's 5k.

I've given the XBox 360 wired controller 3 tries and all develop the same problem in less than a month.
-First they start to disconnect by themselves and reconnect
- then it starts to go one particular direction by itself
- other buttons then follow on and on
- until it frustrates you and you hit it against a wall, bite it, or endure till it parks up in less than 3 months

I bought different colors just to be sure but, they're all the same thing. I'm not sure if I'm just unlucky or they are all like that, or it's the set shipped to Nigeria that has that problem or the ones shipped to Nigeria are all mediocre products but, save yourselves some 5k. Use it to eat suya or roasted chicken... Seriously it'd be worth it more.

I haven't tried the wireless but, I'm hoping to give it a try soon, will give on whether or not they are preferable. Because XBox controllers are the only plug-n-play controllers for PC

Hmm... I'm thinking of buying from Amazon if i decide to buy a wired controller again.
The last one I bought was even white sef and I thought white looked more original. 3 weeks after the left joystick felt like a trailer gear box. I use hammer to hit it left to write.

Will do. Though, I've checked more than 4 sellers but, all cannot be delivered to my address or anywhere close. I think I'd check at SPAR at abj first then Amazon as last option through mallforafrica or some other sh!t like that

you bought fake !!!

I used the same Xbox 360 controllers since 2011.
I never had to replace them.
I gave my nephews about 3 years back and they still use them.
They are really rugged.

They are wireless Sha , but I got a usb cable for one of the pads

You are Correct!! But when customers are been advised, there is this "dnt tell me what to do" atmosphere. Best advice is to either use Xbox one or Xbox series controllers and/or install drivers to enable PS4 or PS5 controllersâś“
