    One year in and entire left side is dead

    Honestly it worked great and I loved playing Xbox and playstation on the go. However, randomly, without any damage on the controller the entire left side is dead. No input, no matter what button i press or how hard. The right side is fine. Further reasearching this issue it appears common as the constant streching of the controller for your phone cause the ribbons that connect the two sides to not function properly. So at the moment its an expensive paperweight.

    backbone itself is ok the only two issues i found with it are that the handles are kind of small and i feel like i don’t have enough grip on them the second issue is that there is a little bit of lantacy on them no a lot but when you are playing you need good grip on no lantacy
