    It seems like Microsoft fixed the issues from previous generations with this controller. It's a no-brainer if you catch it on sale. Everybody in the family has been using the exact controllers for years without issue. (That was unheard of with previous iterations.)

    Better analog stick feel and the grip feel is also better. Not to mention it work with the new Xbox. At 40$ on sale it’s a good buy.

    Bought this to replace a faulty Xbox controller I bought a month or so before. Replacing it was easy with the holiday return policy, which was no hassle. The problem lies within the product itself. Once again, I’ve been having problems with this controller. I’ve had multiple controllers for my old Xbox One S and used them for about 6 years without any problems aside from normal wear and tear, but the new Xbox controllers for the series s aren’t built to last for a daily gamer. I wish there were better quality options out there from the Xbox brand itself.
