    I LOVE the D-Pad on this version. My only gripe with this compared to the Xbox One controller is that the shoulder buttons don't feel as comfortable to rest on, and I have big hands, too.

    If you're slightly aggressive with how you grip your controllers then these don't stamd a chance. The price is ridiculously high considering how often these things break. Stick drift is my number one concern. Within just a couple of weeks the drift is there. Not only that but connection issues are a close 2nd.

    Standard Xbox Controller. Performs great. You can even go to Microsoft's site and build a custom one, (Not Cheap). It is fun to make a custom one. Buy one of these for you guests. (They Don't need the cool one).

    This controller lasted less than a year. It started having stick drift on the left analog stick. I bought another controller from Amazon and it had the same problem but only lasted for 4 months. It seems that Microsoft is having issues with quality control on their controllers. I take care of my controllers and I keep them clean. Having these controllers fail so frequently is unacceptable for how much they cost. I would except a $30 3rd party controller to fail this often, not a 1st party $60 one. I will never buy a 1st party Microsoft controller again. I decided to get an 8bitdo controller instead. The controller was nice when it worked. The trigger rumble was great, the new d-pad design was good, and the construction felt rigid. It was plug and play on my PC and Xbox. I just which Microsoft would make these controllers last longer.
