    Attempted to purchase a “Like New” used controller but the controller was in terrible condition. Unlikely somebody actually inspected it before determining it’s “like new” condition.

    Worst controller I have ever purchased. The magnet for the analog sticks is extremely loose so the analog sticks contantly fly off on games that require quick movement and are geared towards more competitve players. How hard would it be to add in a twist lock for the analog sticks? Paying $200 for an overhyped controller.
