    Basic and works right out the box what more can you ask for but I did notice a slight drift on the analog stick after two months of usage but maybe my fault since I leave it around everywhere but it still works fine it’s not enough to bother me maybe down the line I’ll change my opinion on it who knows… would I bother to…. The world may never know

    This is the best controller I ever used. It is only slightly different the the xbox one controller but those differences are all positive. Most notable is the texture on the grips feels great.
