    Solid build, but the plastic feels a bit cheap. Recommend washing your hands after eating cheetos and plan on using this. If you plan on gaming pretty close to your device there are cheaper wired versions online.

    Nice controller that I was able purchase from Best Buy since they price matched a competitor. It has been a month or so, no drift so far. Hope it stays that way.

    It has a very nice and comfortable grip. My only issue with it is that turning on the Xbox takes time and you have to really press the xbox button in order for the Xbox to remotely register it and open the menu. But other than that. Its great.

    I got this controller for $40 brand new while they had a sale, I saw some listings on ebay for older versions, used, and still $40! Good durability, before I had a stand, controller would drop once or twice a week, and still worked afterwards.

    My man dropped and broke his and I got tired of him using mine with his dirty hands... so I bought him this one to replace his old wired one. He loves it. Now maybe he will leave mine alone. XD
