    Owned this controller for about 4 months and I am already sending it back to Microsoft support due to left analog stick failure. First it started with a drift and then the left thumbstick has stopped reading any movement. Dead stick. Luckily I'm within the short Microsoft warranty and hopefully the replacement will be much better and last longer.

    Love this controller - it will genuinely make you better at whatever game you're playing. Quality is not great. I've had it for 8 months and I'm having severe stick drift where it scrolls so quickly I can't choose the option that I want. This isn't a situation unique to me - I know a couple others that have had it happen to them too. For something that costs almost $200, I expected it to last a lot longer.

    The new hair triggers work wonderfully, the usb c charger is so much better! But most of the grips a completely different and shouldn't (hopefully) start to rub off after a while.
