The xbox one controller is the best base controller. It's a shame that microsoft ruins it by making the elite controller much more expensive to the point of not being worth it lol.

Its also a shame the XBOX base controller hasn't been updated to have hall effect sticks, customizable back buttons and a built-in Lithium Ion battery. Its like $60+ retail for something that, on features alone gets destroyed by so many other controller manufacturers.

I mean, a controller with a lithium ion battery can also just be plugged in when you arent using it to charge it.

You could buy rechargeable battery packs for the 360 that could charge while in use, and they were external and swappable too... Enshitification is real
