    So far so good. My last controller which was the red camo had a dongle stick die after 2 years. This one is doing ok so far but has usb disconnects every now and then. $60 for these controllers are a bit much for the same design thats been around for past 10 years. $50 should be more acceptable.

    It's a controller and it works well. The only thing I dislike is the screenshot button that my boy keeps hitting and instantly uploading ( and that was before he knew what it was for).
