    Purchased my first controller in November 2019. By January 2020 the left stick had gone bad, character either won't move for a couple of seconds after engaging the stick, or will continue moving after releasing the stick. Replaced the controller in January with a new one. By mid April, the same issue. For nearly 200 dollars, these controllers should hold up much better. My original controller that came with the Xbox lasted 2 years before going bad. These "elite" controllers are only lasting roughly 2 months. Not worth the money.

    I've had three of these and they all suck I do not recommend buying this at all. The stick drift is bad if you play FPS is or anything that is heavy on the left stick.
