    I like it, not sure if it's worth the price, I do love that all the pieces come off and the paddles make playing a lot of games easier

    We’ve had to change it every year and buy the insurance bc we know it’s going to break, but other then that it works pretty good. Insurance is to high on it.

    Good controller for the price but understand if you are a heavy gamer, you will probably be needing a new one in about a year.

    I order a used controller in good condition, missing parts one but that’s fine I don’t care about the attachment pieces, what do they send me? A totally different one that is supposed to be in better condition. Why am I complaining? Because the controller that’s in “great condition” is broken and badly stick drifts along with the rubber grip peeling up in the corners.. honestly this company is a massive pain to deal with so I just took the loss. NEVER SHOP WITH BEST BUY. Also not to mention they broke my car in geeksquad and it took them a year to pay me for the damages but that’s a whole different story.

    This is the second of these controllers we purchased for our grandson, this time we got the warranty plan... Evidently, it's all the 15 year olds want to use and are sold out most places.

    Some units come broken, but at the store and check all the joysticks and triggers etc before you take it home. Great otherwise.

    I've owned this controller for 6 months and my biggest concern was the quality, I'm glad to report I have not had any issues with this controller and I use it on both my Xbox and a gaming PC.
