    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.

  • Why did I give it 4 stars and not 5?

    why did i give it 4 stars? over Bluetooth there is an issue where when the d pad is pressed 3 times in one direction it crashes the game/system. when you hold the xbox button it literally crashes windows in 10 seconds. these will be fixxed with future updates but this is a honest current state review. build quality is definitely improved by far the best standard controller in gaming.
