Bought this for my 6 year old daughter. Love the colors and designs of it. Price was low. Decent quality for its price. Works great, and controller is very light. Easy to use plug and play.

In today's market for controllers even a wired one is usually in the ballpark of $50+ dollars. But this one is very low price. But because of low price you can expect the drawbacks that would come with it. In my experience the controller is too light weight. At around 6 oz maybe? And maybe for some of you that's fine. But I have large hands and this make it feel like I'm going to break it. As for durability however, I'm not rough with my equipment but since I bought this about a month ago it has yet to degrade in any way. Buttons work fine. The thumbsticks don't have drift. My largest complaint is the weight. The controller is sturdy in the hand and it doesn't seem shift its plastic or anything like that with small hand movements but I feel like if I just twisted it even a little too much it would snap. Though as I said before this is a price point. It's cheap and you get a controller that works! And if it does happen to break? It's not going to be a $70 hit that a pro controller would dish out. 6.5/10 you get what you pay for and it works, would recommend heavily if you're in a pinch
