    Takes a short time to get used to it and so many aspects to customize that I didn’t even think I need but now I can’t do without them

    Great controller, however, I think even when purchase new these are actually refurbished, because my first controller after few weeks right shoulder button doesn’t work consistently and after a year later I exchange it for new one and this time the left shoulder button doesn’t work consistently… Bad on on Microsoft side.

    Random prolong vibration and stick drift

    I had an issue with the button schemes because it wasnt registering any inputs but it was mainly because of the Steam software and by deleting all inputs i fixed it. However i got a more serious issues and that comes down to the wuality control. The vibration motor on the left side works good but the right side sounds very cheap as if it is hitting some piece of plastic. The hair trigger adjustments makes the trigger sound hollow and cheap. Considering the fact youre paying a premium and receiving a poorly made controller is unacceptable. The quality materials they used on the other hand, is superb. Hands down the best controller on all platforms. But the QC is awful. Im going to get an exchange and see if i am going to encounter anything similar. If i get the same results, ill just get my refund and continue using my Switch Pro controller.
