"Microsoft and other licensed Xbox hardware partners' accessories are designed and manufactured with quality standards for performance, security, and safety," said Microsoft in a statement via Windows Central. "Unauthorized accessories can compromise the gaming experience on Xbox consoles (Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S.) Players may receive a pop-up warning that their accessory is unauthorized. Eventually, the unauthorized accessory will be blocked from use to preserve the console gaming experience."
And the saddest part of all of this is the shittiest turtle beach, madcatz or powerA crap controllers are going to be certified and the people with disability focused or repaired devices are going to be the ones getting the brunt of the issues.
Jokes on me I bought an elite xbox controller thinking maybe the quality would be better than my normal one which got stick drift. the shoulder button on the elite broke almost immediately. I thought "maybe I just got a bad one" and replaced it using the warranty, the same exact thing happened again. I used the warranty again, and surprise it happened again. I decided to just buy better replacement shoulder buttons on amazon and fix it myself which solved the problem but then I got the same stick drift I was originally trying to solve.
lmao

the standard being "breaks within 10 hours"

never again
I went through like a dozen controllers during the 360's life cycle and I guess their standards for quality haven't improved.
