    Feels good but not reliable. Had to exchange on before 24 hours left stick broke with light use and second exchange had a bad drift out the box. Unfortunate because when it does work fine its great but poorly put together

    Love the controller but hate it too more so because Microsoft uses inferior parts yup i had issues with LB and stick drift in the right thumb stick. Thank goodness for purchasing the protection plan from best buy got my controller replaced no cost. Yes I got a new plan for the new controller.
