I tried that but I could never get it to turn off fully. Every day I'd go to play and realize the battery was dead, or I'd get up for a drink in the middle of the night and realize the pairing light was still flashing on the thing.

Have you tried not waking up in the middle of the night to get a drink and seeing if that fixes the problem?

PS controllers will always be better than xbox for one reason: a good dpad. whoever designs them for microsoft needs to have their thumbs cut off.

The SNES had the first, last, and only good D-pad of any controller, and this is a matter of public record.

congratulations on not playing fighting games / shmups / anything that requires precise digital input friend

xbox dpads have always been mushy pieces of crap. the rest of the controller is near perfect though, i'll give you that.

Are you talking the 360 pad because that was utter trash. The Bone has a classic nintendo dpad thats snappy and accurate in everything Ive used unlike Nintendo who somehow has made two different terrible dpads this generation.

I understand the appeal of the mouse but playing games with a keyboard sucks rear end and is the worst.

Every option available to me at a convenient button press?! How terrible! I'd rather have a gamepad where every button has multiple functions mapped to it accessed by differing length of holding down the button.

Exploration is ill-advised.
Kinda funny about wireless controllers being heavier because I've been using them (and portables) for so long that now I find the weight reassuring and wired controllers feel weird.

"Made for the sole purpose of playing video games" doesn't mean "better than". It's demonstrably worse and even unusably bad for many genres.

Also, force feedback is a dumb gimmick I always disable.
