    I bought this controller and started getting stick drift after 1 month, then I went back and replaced it using my Best Buy warranty I bought and now my B button is not activating unless I press it harder than the other buttons. I usually have a controller last 3-6 months when I am playing 10-20 hours a week, I have been playing much less recently and I am still wearing these out way faster the last 2 times. Microsoft is cutting corners and if I could switch to PlayStation controller I would. But thinking about changing when I play competitive games sounds miserable
