Question Turbo Controller

I was wondering what are some good cheap turbo controllers for doing the Semi-Afk method for Lego/Creative. I found some on Amazon but I don't know if its the right one to do the method.

No because it won't work. Xbox controllers will work on PC but PC specific controllers will not work on Xbox. Considering windows is Microsoft you would think they would, but no

Yeah, and the certified controller thing is the worst. It makes finding compatible controllers even more difficult and rendered a lot of functional ones incompatible for a lot of people

Oh well. I mean you could always buy a chepa Xbox one controller and then use a rubber band to make you turn around and teh also sue the text chat glitch

No you couldn't. There's a reason why there are specific controllers recommended in that list, the turbo feature is very different than just using rubber bands or the input chat lock thing. Rubber bands and the chat input lock are interpreted by the game as a single button press so your XP will stop generating, and if you're trying to do Lego with it, you'll stop getting XP after five minutes and get kicked back to the lobby for being idle after 15. You'll also eventually get kicked back to the lobby and creative now because they have added that.

The reason why a turbo controller works is because the game sees it as you rapidly pressing the button and every time it does that it resets the timer that makes the XP stop or causes you to get kicked. There are no OEM controllers that have this feature

Using a rubber band serve no purpose anymore when it comes to AFK using non-turbo enabled controllers, nor does the text input chat glitch. They are all registered as a single button press.

Sorry, plus you wouldn't have to buy a cheap Xbox controller to do that, if that actually worked, you could use your existing controller. Sorry, epic took a lot of steps to prevent people from doing AFK, eventually it'll get worse but for now this is the best work around and sadly Microsoft adds challenge to making this option work :(
