    For the price, I would avoid these. They are too prone to issues (mine developed occasional stick drift after a few months). If they get down to $120, and you have Totaltech, they are pretty good. I use mine on my Switch, with a Bluetooth adapter, along with my Xbox, and it's nice when it isn't having troubles.
