    For me....it is well worth the price. If you want a controller that you can alter physically as well as at a software level, look no further.

    Bought this item 2 seperate time because it was Open Box - Excellent, both times the controller had buttons not working right out of the box. Neither of them were in "Excellent" condition, and were most likely never checked for quality before reselling as "Excellent" condition.

    While the controller feels well made and sturdy in hand, the overall quality is far beneath the price tag. The only way I can play without disconnect is to hardwire to my PC, looked it up online and it's a common problem without purchasing an additional xbox wireless dongle. The right analog stick broke within 5 weeks of adult only casual gameplay. Now being outside of my BB warranty, trying to get a replacement from Microsoft is a nightmare. I have a $200 paperweight until I hear back from MS. Advice: Buy extended warranty for console use. Find one of the many other high end controllers for PC use available on the market.

    Reliability of the face buttons was inconsistent. A and Y button presses wouldn't register randomly, mostly in menus. Feels great to hold though.
