i think that the white ones are made a bit more ergonomically, so they're harder to break in.
and, imo, call for more precise L/R presses compared to some controllers...like silver ones...

depends how much the player likes to make excuses when the real problem is the player and not the controller.
i just bought myself a new white one . im in canada and i hope import duties arent too much . i play with an old silver one and i feel like im about to get ****ed over using this white one. but im determined. and if i start sucking at fox too much. i think i might just stick with my falcon haha.

That's just a fresh stick. The white ones take a slight bit longer to work in. However your pivot jab/tilts will be TAS godlike until then.

From having ordered multiple white controllers at once, I can say they're not all the same. Even between several completely new ones, there are subtle differences, which I notice especially in the L/R triggers. Nothing that would affect your play though, I think. Just a matter of getting used to one and sticking with it. Differences between two used controllers are way larger of course.
As for how the sticks compare to older models, I have no idea. Never been able to compare them directly, but I doubt it'd be anything significant. It should be just a matter of getting used to a less worn out controller for you, and them being white or not is probably irrelevant.
I honestly think the main difference between the white ones and older models are longer cables, and that's all.

What are these white controllers you guys are talking about? Would anyone mind sharing a link to ebay or any store that would ship these internationally?

what do u mean by catch? like once u press them down to a certain point u can feel that u need to apply a bit more pressure. does that go away with time ?

All right, thanks for the link.
Like if you press the trigger from a certain angle, down and in specifically, the plastic rubs together making it harder to press. It shouldn't matter if you only press straight in though. I think what you are talking about is just normal, and the more you play the more you will break in your spring/trigger point.
alright thanks for the followup on the question. have a good day !

Ordering one today, and figured I'd ask if there are any known complaints about the white controllers other than the shoulder buttons being a little annoying at times. Also, how long should it take to completely break in? like, a couple days?
Mew2king told me roughly 50 hours of gameplay and ur stick should be broken in enough. the triggers i couldnt get over how annoying they were so i just switched out the back with a silver half

I feel that some controllers have a less responsive stick. Some just take less effort to get that dash input. I recently got one of these controllers for back up. and hell it was better then my main controller. Maybe it's placebo, but something about the dash inputs feel right.
I'm fairly certain there's a difference between white controllers and older controllers in L and R. There's some mechanism which the latter has that the former doesn't. I think it has to do with the spring. Maybe someone can elaborate.
You can play Fox with the white controller just fine. It just needs to be broken in. I had "controller issues" when I was starting out but it all just boiled down to me not being technically proficient enough to control Fox with confidence that I wouldn't mess up and SD. I don't know if that's the case for you, but it's something you should keep in mind.

In my experience the newer white controllers have metal hinges on the triggers while the older ones don't. The metal hinges caused my triggers to jam sometimes and I've heard this happen to some other people too. When I removed the metal hinges from my triggers they stopped jamming. Again this is only in my experience so I'm not sure if the hinges directly cause triggers to jam or if they're only found in white controllers

The trigger jamming occurs occasionally to me as well on my white controller. Due to this I've just stuck to my classic black controller and leave the white one for friends hehe . Thanks for the information about being able to take out the springs.
