Series x controller(s) are definetly loud. I have one that came with the console + 20th anniversary one.
While buttons feel bit "loose" and noisy, the worst thing is the sticks, damn they make LOUD noise when they touch the sides. Like going from one extreme end to another -> sounds almost like some one would be hitting a hard wood with a spoon loudly. And no, I dont use aggressive force when I game, even normal moves of sticks make them sound like a drum set.
clank clank clank clank.. clank clank..
Few my friends have commented that "lol that is too noisy!" when I brought my series x to them to show stuff out, as none of us have really been xbox gamers.
We even started to laugh to how ridiculous it sounded when two player did the "clank clank" noise in the same time.
And no headphones can mask that out, I would say it is so loud that it would make night gaming impossible even from next room, if there would be someone sleeping on the next.
It is not "game over", but noticeable flaw. I guess if someone have been playing xbox for years and they have got used to it, they dont even notice. But as Playstation gamer for decades, it is just weird how hard plastic they use around the sticks.
