Aliexpress Xbone Controllers

found this on Aliexpress, way cheaper than buying one here ($75~80) for only $33..

Hmm, they look OK but with everything from China it has a high possibility of being total crap in the quality department.

 

Maybe the pcb will be worth using for a stick or something, then selling off the case an buttons

 

Nice idea.

 

IMO, controllers are the worst accessory to get "alternative"
I just don't trust it will behave the same, including rumble, sensitivity, oh and even the battery consumption should be different too

Edit: should have used acessories*?

 

I hope this is the case of a night build job...
Basically during the day they are making controllers for MS at night they flog them off aftermarket. See this a lot with some mobile phone parts, sometimes you can find them still in the service box minus the RMA warning sticker


(Samsung insists you ship all faulty parts back to them, even out of warranty and thus put big red or orange RMA warning labels on parts..)

 

I doubt the analogue sticks will be any good, and same with the trigger sensitivity.

 

The chinese PS3 controllers had a problem with the analogue sticks. If I remember correctly, the analogue sticks were very hard to push down when you were moving the stick. So in FPS games were sprinting is used, these controllers were garbage.

These Xbone controllers could be hit or miss.

 

I may buy one next week and see (I need a second controller for my wife )

 

Looks really legit, report back here if you buy one.

 

Pretty much this.

If it's not 100% original or third-party by Hori or Logitech, i just stay away.

 

In my experience chinese off brand controllers are pretty good, especially for the price. Pretty much all have their share of issues, but me being cheap they are very good for the price.
I currently own 1 PS3 controller from china and 3 WiiU pro controllers. All cheaper then the second hand price and not bad. (although in case of the WiiU controllers I need to put them on chargers a day or week before as they slowly drain over extended non use)

 

Yeah, I have a WiiU pro controller I got off eBay and it seems alright, I just got it, so I haven't used it a ton, but for half the price of one from Gamestop, it's a steal.

 

Tell me more... Do they do this with apple as well? I'm tired of shit screens.

 

Normally you don't see them on ebay and the like, ordering from china they often come in foxconn boxes, everyone I've seen lately even have all Apples QR codes on them with a sticker or blob of sharpie over them..
Recently there was a importer over here who got busted because the parts they where selling where cheapies with apple logos on them..
