Nope... the main issue with near all Microsoft controllers for Xbox One (never once had an issue with numerous Xbox 360 controllers or OG) is the fact that they simply have drifting issues that are awful. I have gone through numerous controllers of which the majority are drift issues with their analog sticks.

I will never spend the amount of money they ask for an elite controller simply because I know the odds of it soon having drift issues is greater than it not. I am worried that Scarlet too will come with elite type controllers and simply be further drift issues as all the Xbox One controllers had.

@RememberThe357 - the only controller for Xbox One that I have consistently heard is good is the Wolverine controller. Tempted to purchase it myself but still gun shy after all the other past controllers I have had to buy.

Tis a really expensive controller so something like this shouldn't happen- twice. A controller that is a step above the competition but has such fundamental defects is simply not acceptable. This isn't soup kitchen money- this is a top of the range product so its just ridiculous that not enough quality testing went into it to ensure that this issue isnt a widespread one.

Haha bro no one's questioning your gamerhood. But it is kinda funny you spent all that money on a controller you're not even using. Good for you man! 💰

@ElementX

What does that have to do with the replies that you have been getting?

Anyways it still isn't proof that you own one. All you can do is say that you do and trust that people will believe you. I own an XBXX, PS4, Switch and gaming PC but even if I take a picture of everything and put my name to it, it still isn't proof that I own them.

@cornhole What do you want me to do? Continue to have everybody doubt everything I say? Continue to be treated like some kind of MS fanboy who doesn't own a PS4? Obviously a photo isn't infallible proof but why would I go through the effort of faking it? Do you think I went around asking people if they have a PS4 and Elite 2 controller so I can come over and take a photo? Do you think I photoshopped the sign? I don't even know how to. Do you think I have a roommate who owns them? I'm a self sufficient grown adult, I don't have a roommate. I get downvoted because people don't believe me, even if I give direct quotes or explain my logic. They think I'm some kind of fraud or something, but I'm not. Give me a break. Jesus some people are never satisfied or doubt everything anybody says.

@ Master Corn

I think element is on my gamer list or we've pm'd. He's 100 legit

@ Element Thats one flash ass ps4og tho... Skinned or stock special edition?

Oh, Ive not seen people question your word before... you just have a preference and carry yourself well unlike some *o****£@@~~##;)(s lol

It's the gold slim PS4.

I buy controllers to replace the broken controller that I can't functionally use anymore. So that is about every other month if I am lucky.

ElementX,

"What do you want me to do? Continue to have everybody doubt everything I say? Continue to be treated like some kind of MS fanboy who doesn't own a PS4?"

Yes. I would expect you to do exactly that. I would hope that you would not feel the need to prove something like this to a group of strangers you'll never meet who have no real impact on your life.

I think if this is your reasoning, you care far too much about the opinions of others. It's a collection of people you'll never know, so why do you need their validation?

@TFJ

I actually bought a PS4 at launch. Then I moved and it got left at home. Then I bought a Switch and after that a GoW PS4 Pro. After a few months I got myself an Xbox One X to play several 360 games and shortly after that I built my gaming PC.

Hopefully that helps.

Edit:

Saw that my comment is a bit broken.

" Someone that simply interested in PS4 exclusives."

Someone that simply -isn't- interested in PS4 exclusives"

Sorry about that.

@darthv72 Fair comment buddy!

No reviews have said it's 4 hours. I'm sure it's a great controller but don't fudge the figures, it's worse than the dualsense.

@ActualEngineer

Hmmm, nope. No one gets confused on left and right. Your brain already does this for you. Asymmetrical controls work in an industrial environment for safety hazards such as low light conditions or reducing a bad habit of operating controls the wrong way. Such as trying both hands on the left hand side of equipment that purposely splits them apart by function. The grips will be shaped in a way to know it's on the left or right side. The seat you are in will direct your body as well to know what is in front, and therefore left and right. In this case those controls tend to be less oftenly made as anything but a generic knob shape that your hand won't differentiate.

This already does apply to all controllers by the way. Try holding the left side of your controller with your right hand. You can differentiate it, right? Are you confused by what side is what if you go to hold the controller in the dark? Nope. The left hand is actually not more active in many games. The right analog has more precise movement most of the time while the left is normally held in one direction with no effort for accuracy.

Also, you don't make something parallel by changing the whole layout. It's less parallel because the layout is not mirrored.

Nope. I don't rest that way at all. If the controller is making you rest a certain way then this is how you know it strains your hand out more and your body is not comfortable or able to find a resting position with either hand lower than the other. This is a realistic engineering argument because an ergonomics engineer can tell you the left analog being higher but with the same hand grip means you are naturally extending your thumb north to move the stick. The natural resting motion of your thumb is more suited for a playstation analog layout.

I know you're either over-complicating or trolling but still this is how misinformation spreads, lol.

@ActualEngineer

If you introduce assymetry into the mix, than you're risking of alienating some people, just like ergonomic mouses only for right-handed.

@ActualEngineer:

I am Batman and your comment sounds more like Feng Shui than engineering to me. But that may just be, because I've used both types of controllers and never had any issue using either configuration. To be fair, that may be because I'm super intelligent (being Batman and all) and my brain manages to adapt to the seemingly impossible task of moving one thumb in a slightly different position, without rendering my hands dysfunctional.

Do you expect an ergonomic analysis of the grip posture and the stresses to the individual tendons, of me?! Your cns is trained to function in a certain way, at all times and under every condition. When it comes into contact with something unnatural, it can adapt and create a new neural path for it BUT there is no point in doing so since you can just leverage a better hand posture by moving the damn thunbstick in the upper left position, so that the position of the stick and the overall thumb movement express a better parallel towards the physiology of the function at hand (literally lol). What you said about industrial controllers had NOTHING to do with industrial design - industrial design is the architecture of goods consumed or used by a sentient being, but I have to say that it was a nice try in sounding credible. In the end it is the analog to the physiology that is not right when you have to extend your thumb to go right and withdraw for left, it is simply a neurological mindf**k to which your brain has been adjusted to. Also you are stressing the metacarpophalangeal joint aswell as the extensor and abductor tendons in your thumb. ALSO the upper position provides a higher level of control.

Now this is enough time I'm willing to spend, arguing with little kids in the comment section.

What a shame that you couldn't coherently convince people so resorted to attempting to degrade those responding to your points.

My comment was definitely in jest because of your wording however, but I raise the question of other devices. If we remove the controller for a moment and think of everything else we use two hands for including our phones, symmetry is key. Even the mighty apple hasn't tried to rebrand in the name of ergonomics and psychological use.
