    Im big on buying items made by the same company so this controller works great. No issues with drift or anything. Feels ok, of course rubber grip would be better but I like the simple format of it all.

    The controller feels really good in your hands. I like the textured grip on both of your hands. I was able to get this on sale too. Really good to have a backup controller for your series x.
