    I love the red camo design of this controller. It looks awesome. But unfortunately it only lasted for 7 or 8 months and now the left analog stick is drifty and doesn't really work right. Will have to try to find some tips for fixing the drift. The same thing has happened to a few of my other Xbox controllers as well. Just not a very good design on the analog sticks.
