anyone has experience with refurbished controller from tesco?

Heated, very good price for this.

ordered for my new (amazon warehouse) white 'one s'

Does this fall under the 4% TCB Electronics cashback offer?

most of the time yes. But I also have heard quite different stories....
op heat added :smiley:

Thank you, finally able to order one to replace my 8 year old xbox 360 controller.

The last refurbished deal I got a perfect controller but someone else got one that looked like bogies were in the box and the controller was disgusting wasn't from tescos though

They're pretty good controllers. They do feel a bit cheap and flimsy in some ways but overall the design is an improvement over the 360 (it fits my hands better, at least). My main complaint is the huge gaps next to the triggers when you push them in fully, sometimes catching your fingers between them and the outer case. That and the thumbsticks seem way too loose, but maybe that's just me. I do like the grips on the thumbsticks though - and you can't beat Bluetooth connectivity and the 3.5mm input is really handy.

Bought the black one at the same cost thanks!

is this the same controller? maybe a scam? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Xbox-One-S-Wireless-Microsoft-Controller-Glacier-White-Brand-NEW-w-Bluetooth-/262979390746?hash=item3d3acb0d1a:g:KEwAAOSw5cRZFAW6#shpCntId

blue one for £2.50 more http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Microsoft-6CL-00002-Xbox-One-Wireles-29-00-/401286584531?_trksid=p2047675.l4066

I bought refurbished tesco controller. joystick was faulty. however return was easy

You can put the Xbox One thumbsticks on the 360 I believe as an upgrade. Agree on 3.5mm+Bluetooth.
The recon Xbox one S controller may have a little more weight to it as it's a slightly more premium halfway house between elite and a standard controller with textured grip on the back.
Yes thumbsticks aren't as tight as 360 as they moved away towards the PlayStation thumbstick modules. :disappointed:
Re: trapping have you tried trigger tread to give you a bit more height on the triggers? May be just enough to stop trapping maybe? The adhesive can be weak so perhaps supergluing them on would be better if you find they really help during testing and you want them on permanently.

Does anyone know if I can use the BT to connect to a Steamlink? I read the S works after an update but can't find confirmation on this model. Thanks.

Thanks for this OP! I wonder does it come with a BT dongle or should I buy one?

Oos expired? :disappointed:

Heat added - although out of stock now.
I paid £29.99 for the "original" Xbox One controller through a Groupon deal posted here, so this is a good price - thanks OP!

Back in stock for 99p more

Has anyone received theirs? I just got a blue one in and the condition is dreadful - dirty, sticky stuff all around headphone socket and there's a loose part inside too. Sending it back for refund. For some reason I'm still tempted to order a white one and chance it!!

OP here i received a control that looked good but the thumbsticks were funny and some moving parts inside, ask for a replacement and send it back

I've had mine, white looks new batteries still sealed. Problem is it will switch the Xbox on, then the controller shuts down. Fine with a cable in, I updated it via the Xbox ok. Sending it back.

I received mine - it's really dirty, just like a controller you would expect from CEX! Also it's the original model 1537 in a 1708 box. So no headphone socket and no bluetooth for me :disappointed:
I have put in a return with eBay...

OP update #2 After sending back the controller they send me another one, as good as new now i need to find games for 2 players :wink:

They have offered me a £5 refund? I would prefer the item I paid for at the price I paid, although having an extra controller for £24 is attractive. What do you reckon I should do?

I send back mine, because i was not happy, i would not have kept it even at half price. it was in pristine condition externally but the thumbs were wonky

And they send me a brand new and now im happy so is up to you really
