    I was excited to receive this new controller however upon playing it for a few seconds the buttons were extremely tight and it had a bit of drifting to it. I don’t blame Best Buy at all more the manufacturers of this product. I unfortunately had to give it three stars. It would’ve gotten all five if it worked properly. The design is great just the drifting and stuck buttons was disappointing.

    With proper care even the basic controller can last years, just be gentle and try to remember what you're golding when gaming.

    My man dropped and broke his and I got tired of him using mine with his dirty hands... so I bought him this one to replace his old wired one. He loves it. Now maybe he will leave mine alone. XD

    Good controller. My favorite in the business. I'll never use mouse and key. They don't last TOO long but you can get a good 6 months out of it before you start experiencing minor issues. Nothing major.

    Given how pricey first-party game controllers have become in the past few years, the Black Friday Week price at Best Buy was very good. Shipping was quick, but padding could have been a bit better. Looking forward to setting it up and using it.
