    This is the 5th controller in 2 years. The audio jack failed so I could not use my headphones. Better than the no names.

    Was a little disappointed. After two days of use the button on the left stuck inside. I had to bang to get unstuck.

    I wasn't happy with this controller. It looks extremely nice looking like the colors combination but the build quality was ok. The plastic on the left side wasn't aligned well leaving a plastic lip on the side. And what really killed it for me was the Bluetooth. I might of gotten a defective product because the Bluetooth range was god awful.
