    When I was growing up, the player two controller was always some shitty 3rd party controller. Now, you might prefer the 3rd part controller. 8bitdo has hall effect controllers for everything. I have a flydigi controller and an 8bitdo controller both with hall effect joysticks and they are both better controllers than any first party controllers I’ve had for any console.

      And half the price of a xbox controller. I bought an 8bitdo for PC a week ago…it is better than the xbox controller…the sticks, the rumble, the weight, the finish, the less annoying led, the connection, RF polling rate.

        When i had my original xbox the player two was a 3rd party controller, player one was a better 3rd party controller, player 3 if we had it was a first party controller-s and player 4 was the OG fatass xbox controller. My first choice was the mad catz controller that cost me 25 bucks and still works great to this day.

        People are paying more for the brand. Most people don’t know about alternatives (non-gamer parents, richer people). And 3rd party controllers still have a bad rep. In a few years that might change, and then we will either see a price drop, or quality increase.
