    It is currently June 2024 and I purchased the controller in October of 2023. Very early on I noticed stick drift on one of the analog sticks. Now the RB button has to be pushed extremely hard to register, and even then it sometimes doesn't work. I take very good care of my things and the controller has never been dropped or damaged in any way. I play anywhere from 5-10 hours a week.

    The build quality of this controller is solid, there are a few quality of life improvements added such as rechargeable battery, better grips and a button to adjust the profile that's in use (instead of a switch). If you're looking for a nice Xbox/PC controller this is a solid buy, if you have a Series 1 controller I wouldn't recommend the upgrade unless you get this on sale.

    No major complaints about controller cept wish the button inputs where a bit better, especially at the price, but it was my best option to get a cross pad instead of the default Xbox dpad. Best Buy did great though by price matching the Amazon price, so 5 stars to them.

    Love everything about it -- except the new rubber padding that was extended over the handles. My old Elite controller they gripped really well; the new material feels waxy and slippery. Other than that, there's nothing to complain about. Comes with rechargeable battery and recharges by putting back in the case. Adjustable joystick tension, better paddle controls, and a host of other improvements make this the best conrtoller out there. If only it felt "grippier'....
