    Only worth buying with geek squad protection. Stay away if you aren't comfortable replacing this controller every 3-6 months.

    Actually an overpriced regular controller,since it does not come with extra joystick and rear paddles. I would get this at $80 since the build is better than standard.

    The controller seems to have a dysfunction on the right joy stick. When I fully rotate I can feel an object keeping it from smoothly rotating 360 degrees.

    DO NOT RECHARGE THIS CONTROLLER USING A WALL SOCKET. Use the USB port in front of Xbox, other wise you will fry the controller. Microsoft doesn’t make this abundantly clear at all. These controllers are great but do not last long. Buy the insurance if you play a lot.
