Xbox banning third party controllers :mjpls:

[Return of the Jedi]

Yea, I tried to cheap out recently.

Sent it back to Amazon and got the real deal.

Yeah, one of the lessons we all learned as lads are the bargain controllers are pretty much never worth it. You really get what you pay for.

That being said, I wish Microsoft would just the free market do it's thing.

Sorry broke brehs, no more madcatz for yall.


But seriously, why did they do this? 8bitdo makes some good quality controllers and they got banned? Why?

shyt I forgot about them this is sad if you’re an Xbox only gamer

Says only licensed from these manufacturers.

Going forward, Xbox gamers should only use first-party or officially licensed products from the likes of:

• Razer
• Turtle Beach
• Power-A
• Thrustmaster
• Victrix
• PDP
• HyperX
• ASUS ROG

I mean what third party controllers that aren't licensed are even worth using?

Yeah I looked it up and 8bitdo is officially licensed by microsoft. The scary part is that 8bitdo advertised their fight stick as the only official xbox licensed fightstick on the market.

If that's true, then what happens to the other custom stick people use? What if someone built an entire flight Sim or forza rig using some unlicensed hardware?

Probably only affects a small amount of players, but it'll suck if someone spent hundreds building a rig that was made incompatible via patch.

This is probably to target Xim and other keyboard and mouse adapters. They've got built in recoil controls and all types of other cheats.

I think if you spend hundreds on a system and hundreds on game you should be able to use whatever you want with it
