    Was defective and I had to return it. One of the controller stalks was misaligned, not allowing for proper control. I said "yes" to recommend the item because I got a replacement which was fine.

    Great controller but I should not wear it out after a year of use. Even playing 15 hours a week should not cause this to wear out after a year or so. That’s my only compliant.
