    The controller feels like the old one controller which is a strong point. Now the real issue for me is in stick flick tracking it doesn't track flick very well.

    As always the xbox controller sets a standard for controllers in my mind. The updates over the original xbox one version make this a great buy. Most noticable to me is the D Pad is more responsive.
