3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

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

csn you get stick drift repaired?

[–] Schmuppes 1 points 10 months ago

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!
