    The stick drift on this after a few months is not the best. My dead zone is set at 0.20 to fight it. It’s not worth the money to be honest.

    The two stars are for how comfy and enjoyable this controller is. The other 3 non stars are for reliability. I have kept hoping these controllers would be all that I wanted (extremely close), but they reliably breakdown within a year. I have had several now (even 1 gen models) and all ended up with bad bumpers, joystick issues, and button issues. Very hard to recommend these controllers.
