Positive feedback also highlights the smooth button presses and improved gameplay experience from the rear buttons. However, some users reported experiencing stick drift after a period of use.

    Buttons are really smooth, paddles are nice, the grip helps when aiming, and looks cool. :)

    These controllers are good for the value. After awhile it begins to develop a slight stick drift in the right joystick. But for the price not bad.

    I got this because I wanted to try out an xbox controller with buttons on the back. I like that it's wired (no more batteries needed), but some may not like being tethered. Overall I think this is a good value. The controls are responsive...at least during the short time I've had it. Not sure it will hold up like a 1st party controller, but I'm okay with that because of the low cost. It's at least worth a try.

    I have to say, for the price of this controller it’s very good. I currently own the powera pro fusion and the elite 2. This controller doesn’t have the premium look or weight that the other two have but it does what it’s suppose to do and has the next gen buttons as the series x/s controllers. There is slight stick drift when I was testing but nothing major... the powera fusion pro has zero drift even at the lowest setting. The placement of the back buttons are perfect and it’s the primary reason I bought this controller. I was close to picking up the thrustmaster however after reading some reviews and looking the placement wouldn’t work for me. I’d feel comfortable paying $49.99 for this controller.

    Its a nice controller with a neat design. I should have read the description better because i thought this was wireless and it turns out it is wired. I generally use the playstation so i thought it would be able to be used either way. Still getting the hang of it.

    Great controller. Buttons are all crisp. The paddles work well. Have tiny bit of wiggle/slack to them but no big deal at all. Rarely had drift issues with these controllers!

    Cheap way to get paddles on controller. Shape feels great. Wired connection is better. No batteries to change. Headset control is nice.

    The paddles are cool; however, the controller is already drifting. Haven’t even had it a month.

    Not for racing

    This is a decent controller. The build quality is decent and cord attachment is very solid. The biggest downside of this controller vs a Microsoft controller is trigger feel. Trigger feel on the PowerA is very soft with a short throw. A genuine Microsoft controller trigger gives much more feel and has longer throw. For anything but racing games the PowerA may be acceptable. For racing games buy a genuine controller.

    Great controller, feels good and the buttons on the back actually make a huge difference for gameplay. Returned it just because i really need wireless but it's a 5 star product nonetheless. Would gladly pay extra for wireless if it were an option.

    This is the best controller for Xbox. I have the Elite Series 2 and the standard controller, this beats both of them. It has excellent button response time & it is comfortable in the hand.

    I used this remote controller for 1 month and you could defiantly fell the quality difference compared to the Xbox controller and the left stick made a lot of noise.
