    Owned for 3 hours before one of the sticks froze entirely and had little to no movement. Exchanged for a blue series and got stick drift inside first 2 days. Utter waste of money. Don’t splurge on this controller, just buy a PlayStation and put Xbox out of business like they should be.

    Good product other than my Left Trigger makes a clicking noise that seems like its somehow sticking. I purchased 2 of these controllers at the same time and the other one does not have the clicking. I will be swapping out the faulty one.

    Controller worked great at first, but both the left and right bumpers started sticking making it almost impossible to use. Pretty bad when the $60 standard controller has a better life expectancy than the $200 controller.
