My original PS4 controller is still working fine.

In fact so is the pad I got with my fat ps3!

MS should be providing charge and play on their premium console. Probably my only criticism of a very premium feeling machine.

I hated the rechargeable controllers on the PS. For one, the amount of time the battery held a charge decreased over time and two, if I hadn't played my PS for a while and then fancied a game of something. Invariably the pad would be dead and I'd have to either play with it tethered to the console or charge it and play later.

Everyone has their own preference I guess but I prefer the choice of batteries. You can always use rechargeable batteries too.

Yeah it doesn't render in 2160p and the high resolutions it hits aren't constant either. It does a pretty good job all the same though.

When playing Forza 7 tonight..I was doing an hour endurance race..and the strangest thing happened..

When at high speed at certain areas of the tracks, the analog stick would not allow me to turn :confused:

Does this sound like a console, game, controller issue??

I would say a controller/software issue, I cannot see how it's console related if the rest of the pad was functioning ok. If it does it again and you have a cable handy plug it in via the USB and that should confirm it.

Do you have controller assisted steering on?

100%

This Xbox One X issue thing is getting out of hand... ran out of toilet paper..? damn you Scorpio!! *shakes fist*

Well after getting my returns request thing sorted my Xbox has now decided to work perfectly. It must have updated something in the background, no more errors (fingers crossed) all weekend, everything installing ok etc. Setting the power option to the fast one seems to have helped weirdly. Got the elite controller though i'm finding the extra triggers a challenge.

Any of you guys have a recommendation for a good headset to pair with the X?

I was considering getting the Turtle Beach Elite Pro (without the mix amp) or perhaps Steel Series Artis 3/7 (think they are compatible) Does anyone have experience with either of these or a good alternative. I play exclusively with a headset so happy to spend a little extra to get the most out of it.

Just to add. I'm not fussed over 7.1 as it appears to be virtual on most headsets anyway so don't want it to detract from overall sound quality. Hence the Mix amps omission from the Turtle Beach

I bought a Plantronics 800LX wireless headset that comes with a Dolby Atmos code, it works brilliantly and the battery genuinely lasts 24 hours.

So they only last 6-8hours and you throw them away once internal batteries are dead?

I prefer xbox way, 40+ hours and quick swap of batteries and it's working again.

Have you seen the switch Pro controller? Thing lasts for ages, probably about 40hrs

You don't need the pad physically connected to the console at all... I've had my PS4, OG Xbox one and Xbox One X Scorpio controllers connected to my iPad charger for the last three years as it provides enough power for all functions and this sits at the side of my bed with a 2M Micro USB cable. Works a treat. Sod paying for a play and charge kit - I hardly notice the cable connected to the controller.

Disabled assist steering in Forza, so far seems ok. Thanks guys!

BuffetSlayer · 20 Nov 2017 at 19:53

Well - after my comments regarding the headset situation it seems I owe the X an apology. Used a 2 into one cable from my pc gaming headset (QPAD QH-90) and pluged into the pad and bosh. Sound and chat in co-op on Halo 5 no issues. Really happy about that. Tried the same on my PS4 ages ago and it didnt work. Obviously isnt mega sound but its better than my PS4 is when running sound from the pad.

Im also finding the xbox app a lot better than the playstation equivalent too.

Happy days.

Zeebedy · 21 Nov 2017 at 17:30

I’d rather have AA batteries to be honest. At least tbey lost a lot longer.

On my Hisense, the Input button brings up the list of inputs, you then use the arrow keys to move up to the top and click the Rename button.
