    Great fit and finish. I am liking the new clicky D-Pad. Got a good deal during the BF sale but feel like it could have been better, like $5 to $10 cheaper, at least for the generic black version...

    It seems xbox and or microsoft cannot make a decent controller anymore. I'm not a hardcore gamer nor do I game many hours a week. However, I've gone through multiple controllers the brand new ones. I don't think i've had one last longer than a few months. The brand new one I just bought crap out on me and won't connect, and it's only been a few months. I have old Xbox controllers that I'm using no. That are years old dropped throne I don't know how many times they just have a few sticking buttons. Shame on you microsoft xbox, make a decent controller and stop gouging us in this ridiculously inflated economy.

    Its an Xbox controller. It will work for about a year or so until you need a new one. If you can afford it look at higher end brands.
