    It's honestly a solid controller to use for both PC, Xbox games and has enough buttons for most emulators. If you like the Xbox One Controller you'll like this one.

    Decided to order this controller since it’s an OEM replacement. Within a few weeks ive already noticed slight stick drag, which seems to be a common theme with these controllers.
