that dpad is fucking disgusting.
Drop controller in 2019
>2. The first revision usually has tons of issues, so it’s best you skip it.
I bought a x360 wired pad as soon as it came out and it worked perfect for almost ten years.
Wow, really?? If (You) were lucky enough to not have any issues, then sure it’s all bullshit.
USB for a hard power source and also to recharge it if you have rechargeable batteries/the battery pack thingy they sell.
The USB is also there to hook up to PCs. The XBone controller is actually the comfiest controller I've held, competing with the Gamecube and Switch Pro at 3rd/2nd, respectively.
The 360 controller remains the only good one Microsoft has made. When the sticks on mine finally degraded to the point that the rubberized coating was flaking off, I "upgraded" to a new Xbox One controller. It's ASS. I hated the ergonomics of the piece of garbage so much I threw it out and got a PS4 controller instead.
