    Xbox controllers moved to a new type of stick module. This has caused many issues from their least expensive to their elite. Please check for any type of stick drift. They controllers are great minus the fact that you might need to trade it in till you find one that doesnt drift at all.

    Feels good in the hand as you can expect with an Xbox controller -- BUT buetooth dips every once in a while which can be very annoying when you're playing a game and midnight your controller disconnects! Also, for the price, there should be a plug and charge prepackaged - ot at least a USB c cable to play wired - especially when the wireless connectivity is so unreliable
