| Hey I was wondering if anyone knew what the warranty period is on them. I am having issues with mine. Its a wired one and telling me to "Please re-connect the controller to the Xbox" I have changed the usb port that it was plugged into as well as checked all the connections and still having issues. | |

| No no they won't I got an email reply last night their warranty is only for 90 days. Really? 90 days?? I spent over 120 bucks on a controller and they only have a 90 day warranty, I would have expected at least a year. Well never again. I will talk with a friend that has experience in taking apart controllers for repairs and see if he can replace the wire on mine since that is the problem there is a break in the wire.

| I was thinking of looking into this too. Mine will be a year old soon and not only has the rubber grip on the PS3 stick worn off, but one of the paddle switches is starting to get a little sticky. Too bad the warranty period is so short. Guess I will just have to pay for those repairs. | |

| Or buy a new one exactly the same as your old one, wait about 1-2 weeks, clean the old one to look as new as can be and return for either a replacement or for a full refund. It's not exactly ethical or even legal but you can always say that you thought it was the new one instead of the old controller you were returning. My take on it, these things were built for less than $15 bucks, I'd even go as high as $30 maximum to manufacture one. They should warranty the suckers for a year at that price. | |

| easy repair job but should try taking the nylon braiding sheath of an old hdmi cable or buy a lenth too protect the wire and stop it from twisting so easily .if your attempting to solider it youll need a low watt iron and low heat solider .a gas solider pen is good for that as you dont want a high heat destroy any the circuts in the head. i had the same problem come to me with normal wireless controllers that needed a replacement battery .....hope you have good luck whatever |

| I just scuffed (sort of) an old controller I just added the trigger stops I am getting a tool kit to take apart all the controllers and systems and I will be scuffing controllers locally for a fraction of the cost once I get everything in line. Trigger stops = 60 cents vs 120.00 controllers who wins now? | |

| Never heard of this type of stuff, I may have to get me one. Is it worth it compared to the normal wireless controllers? | |

| Migs, the last thing you need is more of an advantage on us! If you have an extra controller laying around send it on to Tyden!
Drop shot bitch!!!! | |

| I may have to if Tyden would want to do it - I have about 6 of these controllers that me and my kids use but they are all regular - wouldn't mind having one with some perks | |

| Tyden, can you somehow put a slow-mo on Mig's left trigger by chance? | |

| haha I was looking for the topic that I posted about the Sabertooth controller but I ran into this one. it's really not that hard to do by yourself. The hardest part is to get the proper bit for the screws. I did what Gun did was cut the springs down to give me the hair trigger as for the buttons on the bottom I really never used them all that much I just miss the triggers and on my Sabertooth which is having issues and I am pissed because I mailed mine in for an RMA is taking so damn long because of the same issue with the wire but they can't just send out a replacement. I have made myself a promise I AM NEVER BUYING ANOTHER controller that is not from Best buy and I am getting the Black tie protection on it so no problem returns and instant gratification. | |
