    Controllers have been good. I noticed the trigger sticking a little at first, but that seems to have subsided.

    I purchased this initially to play a few racing games but ultimately returned this for a sony controller. There’s nothing wrong with this controller, but I like the button layout of the sony one more.

    It’s good, it just feels cheap and light. Doesn’t really feel like a quality product and I have had issues with these durability wise after 6-8 months. Controller drift and buttons sticking is a big problem (no I don’t play with Cheeto fingers) I have a more expensive Xbox controller and I have used it for a year and a half and I haven’t had a single issue. White also gets dirty quick. It’s an average controller and good for the casual gamer

    I bought this controller right before the shortage, Xbox controllers are usually pretty good buys, I’m sad Xbox never fixed the loud clicking sound the joysticks make when they hit the frame
