New red/white controller incoming, looks lovely. Really love the Series controller with that texturing on the back. Feels really nice to hold.

Yeah I really like the controller this time round it's the perfect size and the new texture bits make it much nicer to hold.

I've always had issues with controllers though Xbox i've always found to big and PS controllers always to small and with both i've always got pins and needles.

This time round that little bit of a smaller controller on the Xbox is perfect and other than twice since getting it haven't had my usual pins and needles and can play for hours without any issue.

I wish.

Much preferred the one controller.

The smallness of the new one makes my hands ache in a way I never suffered before

That's a shame at least you can still use the older controller.

Mine just get all numb and tingly and I get bad pins and needles with both the PS4 and Xbox One pad.

Series X pad had it once or twice, where as I would get it most game sessions with the other controllers.
 
I ended up buying another Series X controller because I wasn't happy with the replacements they sent, starting from the beginning.

The one that came with my Series X had an A button which didn't always register, I bought one from Amazon which wasn't smooth around the edge of the analogue sticks, made games like halo annoying to play, so that went back.

Borrowed a One controller from a friend and RMAd the original one, got it back and the right trigger was catching the shell when it was depressed, RMAd it again as the replacement had the rough analogue stick issue.

Friend needed their controller back at this point.

Bought another new series x one from smyths with Minecraft, this one is fine, nice and smooth and responsive buttons, shell feels slightly smoother than the other one which is maybe why.

Sent the original controller and Minecraft to Cex, just waiting to get paid, out of pocket by £4 but I'm happy now.

I had to repair my own Elite 2 controller because the Microsoft repair center workers are clearly incompetent.
 
One thing I've noticed about my Series X controller is that the edges around the trigger holes are pretty sharp. And that I constantly press the capture button when I'm looking for select. :p
 
My controllers feel sharp around trigger area too.

Had a crash in Cyberpunk that shut the console down yesterday. Not had that before but I’m sure it’s Cyberpunk as everything else is ok.

Mine are smooth and no issues at all, maybe it's a batch issue?

I got mine from Amazon almost two weeks ago.
