    After barely 6 months of moderate use, the left joystick has developed a severe drift which is bad enough to affect gameplay. It's a crying shame since the look & feel of the controller are both top notch. Microsoft will do nothing as it's out of its (90 day) warranty, so it's a $70 brick until I find a way to do a repair. Loved it, but I won't buy another after this experience.

    Experiencing stick drift in the right thumb stick after 1 month. I play a lot and go through a 2-3 controllers a year, but a controller going bad after 1 month is not acceptable.

    Having used Xbox controllers since the 360, this one feels the most comfortable in my hands; its got a bice heft, the handle-grip texture is comfortable, and the “new” d-pad is really responsive. I also love how easy it is to move it back and forth between my Xboxes and my PC/Mac via Bluetooth.

    Don't get me wrong great controller in the beginning, it did it's job as a controller. Not fond of the color scheme behind blue face and the back is still all white. But 6 months later the notorious broken joystick issues that's Xbox has had for years is still an issue. I've had the controller only 6 months and the joystick veers off on its own. It's very sad that this issues has been going on for 8+ years and there is still no fix or factory warranty for the controller.
