    Fair controller for the money. The custom setup is pretty nice with the color. But you get what you pay for. We had to recalibrate it quite a few times before the left stick gave out and became loose. It only lasted a few months. Always get the protection plan on controllers.

    If you can get this controller on sale, it's pretty decent. It feels good but the only small complaint I have is the sticks feel looser than on the regular Xbox controller. Still, if you get it for $40 or less, I'd say it's worth it if you are looking for an extra controller (not a main full time one).
