    It seems like Microsoft fixed the issues from previous generations with this controller. It's a no-brainer if you catch it on sale. Everybody in the family has been using the exact controllers for years without issue. (That was unheard of with previous iterations.)

    It does what it advertises but it doesn't go above and beyond. Also the batteries have a ridiculous drain speed. And its very expensive for something that is a requirement.
