If you're looking for the best gaming monitor in 2023, Alienware's excellent 34 QD-OLED still takes the cake. Despite all this, the standard Xbox controller is still the most durable one for those who don’t need extra buttons, and overall the percentage of people having problems with it is a LOT lower than those who bought the Elite Series 2.

That said, I want to point out that while the old Xbox controllers were quite reliable in the long run (my 360 and Xbox One controllers lasted for almost 5 years each), these new ones seem to have a worse build quality. However, following a solid month with the Wolverine I can confirm it’s one of the best on the market – if you can put up with the lack of wireless functionality.Competitive gamers are unlikely to consider sacrificing the improved responsiveness of a cabled connection, and the omission is understandable given the Wolverine’s overt eSports focus.

For situations where you need more speed (using an SMG or Shotgun in FPS games), use the shorter caps for tighter control. It’s also a clever controller in other ways: You can tune your own preferred thumbstick sensitivity, and program two back buttons to map to whatever you prefer. The idea is good, and it looks like the overall build quality of the controller isn’t bad either, but I read about people forced to disconnect and reconnect a part once in a while otherwise it would stop working properly. I would say that their products are a bit inconsistent, so depending on your usage you might be fine for a couple of years, or start noticing small/big issues after a few months. If you're looking for a great gift for a loved one or simply want to treat yourself, you need this deal.

The front holds the standard dual analog sticks in an offset Xbox arrangement, along with a direction pad, A/B/X/Y face buttons, menu and option buttons, and a light-up guide button. Note that the Recon controller (Series X) is a wired controller, so playing wirelessly will not be an option here. jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"
