    Guys, I've brought many xbox controllres from ebay that were cheaper from the microsoft ones. But i swear, after 2 months tops, something goes wrong. (mostly from analog stick falling off to the sides). Now looking at my friend who plays halo1+2 like NUTS! for many years, still has his controllers working FINE! wtf?!?!?

    Can i fix it somehow? what's wrong?!

    should i just buy the microsoft ones?!?

    Thank YOU so much..

    as with all consoles, first party controllers are the best..... sorry pelican and other companies... you just can not compete with the first party paddles.

    It's better to just buy a controller from a store, they aren't too expensive these days.
