    It's okay about the kids, if I can get enough rewards points I can probably claim them back

      I'm on rewards week 88... I think this is the longest streak I've achieved without forgetting something in the app and hitting a reset.

          In 6 and a half months too
          It was one of those perfect storm weeks this week where I got near 4,000 points in 24 hours. I think I've discovered every viable non-payment related way of earning now and am in a proper daily routine with it too. Must be getting 600-800 points per day minimum on average.

            Nice I've spent a bit out of my rewards lately but I think the next thing I'm going to save for is a design lab controller.

              I wobbled with the Elite Controller 2, same the other day when they were going for £64 on Amazon but I couldn't get over the scale of complaints about them. Can't believe in the post RROD era MS has still never addressed the Elite Controller issues properly

                Yeah I've steered clear of the Elite 2, sounds like they have nothing but issues and you're better off sticking with the default controller.

                The only other controllers I've got my eye on are the PopeArt custom ones. That guy has a talent for really cool designs but hasn't made that many available for sale.

                They go for £130 so ain't cheap but they are a piece of art in many cases.

                  I really don't get how all the company's making controllers cant find a reliable supplier for analogue sticks anymore, during previous generations you'd get controllers failing but not to this degree, i have gamecube and ps3 controllers that are still going strong so it must be a new issue. The elite is a bit emperors new clothes as far as the sticks go too they use the same moduals as the Standard controllers so its only the outer shell materials that are premium.


                  Its not just an xbox issues though, the amount of ps4 controllers Ive gone through made me seriously consider getting a de soldering station ive just lost my first PS5 controller to drift so its not an issue that's gone away.


                  if its just a case that the sensors have a limited life then make them replaceable, the steamdeck has done this, and The Astro C40 showed how easy it was to create a user friendly system. Id rather go out and spend 10-15 on a new analogue modual every few year than have to replace controllers.

                    Has anyone made a Hall effect sensor controller yet? These expensive ones should be using those. You’d get no drift then.

                        Can confirm the series 2 controller is both an amazing controller and one that falls to pieces. On mine the right bumper barely works so I had to map them both to the paddles, also the left side of the controller is seperating along the seam.

                        I love the controller but wish it wasn't built out of shreddies and PVA glue

                          What on earth are you doing with your controllers? Bolth my original One X and SERIES X controllers are solid. The series X controller gets so much use too as I also use that on my PS4 via a Brook adapter. Sony's pads suck in my opinion. Uncomfortable analogue stick placement and ****ty "D-pads" that they've been using since the original PlayStation.
                          The only Microsoft pad that had build issues in my experience is the 360. The rubber coating on the Analogue sticks breaks off over time.

                            They’re talking about the Elite controllers which are indeed garbage.

                              Never had any build quality issues with the standard Xbox one and series X controllers. Just the ones that retail for £160...

                                Ooh, that surprises me. You'd expect them to be way better.
