    What can I say...it's a controller. Had to get a new one when our other one just started scrolling on it's own. It was 6 years old so probably needed replacing just hope this one lasts as long considering the price.

    I really like the Xbox controller. From the original 360 controller to its current iteration, it fits nice in the hand and has all the bells and whistles with two joysticks, a D-pad, trigger buttons, etc. The bluetooth capability is a nice addition that makes it easier to use it with devices and computers other than an Xbox.

    I use this controller for gaming on my PC and at first I had to break it in because I was coming down from an Elite Series 2 Xbox Controller. Everything about it is good, but the only thing I noticed that is a small con is the right trigger’s internal padding no longer cushioned it when I pressed down the trigger so it makes a *clink* sound whenever I bottom-out the trigger. Not sure if it’s just because the remote I got was defective or what, but other than that it works great! I can’t really describe how well battery life is for stock because I bought some aftermarket rechargeable inserts but I imagine it to be a good amount of lifetime
