Doesn’t have gyro. I like playing games without aim assist preferring raw input aiming with mouse bound to the gyro.
I’d pick up other third party controllers over a Xbox these days, since hall effect and TMR sticks are standard. Extra grip buttons are common on third party controllers too without paying Xbox Elite prices, which are notorious for breaking down despite the premium price. And lot of third party controllers offer gyro too.
My 360 controller still works and I’ve used them for playing through Yakuza on the PC. But, when it comes to buying a new controller Xbox is last on my list now. Too many missing features while not being cheaper than the alternatives out there.
Yeah I never considered gyro. I don’t play FPS as I get motion sick. The one where vision shows movement and body isn’t moving, compared to the other one where the body is moving but vision is not which I don’t get (e.g. ships, cars, airplanes). I have never thought about this use case, gyro in shooter. Dunno if it also works in other TPS like gta or read dead2.
The last and only game using gyro I played was flower on ps3.
But yeah it’s probably a deal breaker if features you need are missing.
Yeah, gyro is often a hate it or love it type of input.
Back buttons though I can’t do without anymore. Like being able to map jump and crouch or dodge buttons to them so I can keep my thumbs on the left and right joystick instead of having to lift off and momentarily lose movement or camera control has been a nice convenience.
Driving is also where I’ve really loved the back buttons for driving games and setting them to gears. Before third party alternatives became common I had planned to get Xbox Elite for that reason until I saw all the complaints about them breaking despite the premium price, and people getting things like lifetime warranties and paying a portion of the controller cost whenever they went to get it replaced throughout the year over buying a whole new one.
I passed on the Elite because of that, since I could have put up with the high price if it was actually durable. Not sure why they dropped the ball in that department when my 360 has been a tank.
