I now have the third controller and the third time the same error image: I play fifa 19 and whenever I press something harder while navigating the player, then there's a crack and the left stick does not perform the inputs properly and make even wrong entries, say I pass to the left and the pass goes then where else very different. Super annoying, you know what that is? And how can you fix it? I have read some reports now, the problem was already in 2014? Can't be that MS has not fixed the problem? Are there alternatives that can withstand more pressure?
Only that I understand it correctly, by pressing too strong, so push on the left stick he breaks with you?
I myself am an XBox player from the very beginning and have never heard of such a problem before.
Of course, they wear out gradually. Just the left stick is gradually worn down by the pushing in and the same upwards, which serves to sprint in almost every shooter. But this refers to the spring mechanism inside and is a creeping process. This means you notice it and the stick is less and less accurate over time.
But what you are describing is a sudden mechanical failure. So without wanting to get too close to you I think that you claim the controller over moderation. You obviously lack something the sensitivity in the left thumb. Especially since it requires little force to push the stick and the way to the pressure point is very short.
So of a design error, I do not go out but quite clear of a user error. For your question about alternatives. Surely there are but experience shows me that the original controller are still the best.
Have yourself a grounded under exactly this error picture.
Believe me, especially at FIFA one presses already very hard. That is a problem of the operator.
My solution was the Xbox One Elite Controller. Much more precise and the most valuable thing I have ever seen, and much more robust, because many parts are machined from aluminum, which are otherwise made of plastic.
