    Good controller. My favorite in the business. I'll never use mouse and key. They don't last TOO long but you can get a good 6 months out of it before you start experiencing minor issues. Nothing major.

    I have had no problems with this remote. It was fairly expensive compared to what I wish it was, but all the buttons work, no stick drift, and it even connects to my laptop with Bluetooth. Good purchase!

    I love the new feel of the Series X controllers, though they're basically the same as the One controllers they upgraded the directional D pad and added a nice grip all around.
