    I have had four of these controllers, sometimes replaced via Microsoft warranty, other times replaced via Geek Squad protection. The left bumper always goes out. Hope that you don't play bumper jumper or you will be very frustrated. Other than this consistent flaw, the controller is amazing. Every feature regarding both hardware and software is great! I only need the LB button to work when the game is on the line...

    Work good for about 6 months and they typically get stick drift or buttons internally end up sticking even with consistent care. The price does not align with the actual value.

    It’s an elite controller. What’s not to like? Just get ready to learn a new way to play with the extra paddles. Definitely worth the extra $$
