    The controllers are not built as good as they used to be. Before you could hang on to a controller for 2 years and now you are changing them every couple of months bc of the lack of quality. We will see if this one lasts at all.

    Thought it would be an upgrade to the older Xbox controllers with terrible Bluetooth for pc connection. Sadly it’s still wonky. Other than that’s it’s perfect, long battery life, and the upgrades are definitely worth it as an upgrade for a pc controller.

    This is really an elite controller. Very well built and is easy to use. This is cheaper than a custom controller and has every feature that a custom one has. XBox did an excellent job with this.
