    I’ve used my xbox 360 controller pretty much daily since 2008, mostly on my pc. Looks as good as new, but with some tiny stick drift since a couple of months back

        If you have a soldering iron and know how to use it, the repair costs less than 5 dollars with parts from China. It’s not hard, I wrecked one board by getting it too hot while desoldering the old sensor. You live and learn.

      Same!! Not daily, but at least 30-40 times a year for over a decade! Happy to find another 360 controller user. Those Xbox 360 controllers are fantastic.

      Had to stop using them last year. I had the wireless adapter plugged into a windows 10 computer, and its drivers kept failing to be recognized after every restart. After maybe the hundred time, I gave up and bought a $20 USB knockoff which so far, feels the same!
