Going forward, Xbox gamers should only use first-party or officially licensed products from the likes of:

• Razer
• Turtle Beach
• Power-A
• Thrustmaster
• Victrix
• PDP
• HyperX
• ASUS ROG

Only the finest

Stupid. I don't like this. I mean I use an elite controller and wouldn't use anything else, but to ban controllers is kinda childish and apple-y. Let people choose what they want to use. Don't force it

[BobbyWojak]

Terrible decision and goes against the modern Xbox ethos, hopefully they reverse this.

Is this to stop cheating?

Yea, I tried to cheap out recently.

Sent it back to Amazon and got the real deal.

DOJ should file a antitrust suit against them for this.

What about fighting game brehs? The Xbox controller is great for third person games and FPS but it's awful with fighting games.
