    I thought this would be a waste of money but you can really feel and see the difference during gameplay! If you love games and are more than a casual XBox gamer this is for you

    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.

    I was using a standard Xbox controller for racing games and with manual mode taking different buttons, this makes it easier to switch gears.
