    Maintains the standard Xbox controller layout with some nice improvements and slightly more premium details, great for PC games if you prefer to use a controller over keyboard and mouse.

    I got this controller open box for $47 dollars and other than a little dust it has worked very well so far. I wish it had Haptics similar to those of the Playstation controller on the triggers so even though my experience was perfect I'm going to give the product a 4/5 stars.

    Needed to buy a new controller to replace my old one as one of the sticks started to seem like it would stick. This one I just purchased has been good as new and everything is back to normal.
