The thumbstick cannot fully reach the corners and it bounces to center. I was trying to play a game with this and noticed my character was bouncing all over the screen instead of moving smoothly. I connected this to my computer to go through calibration and it turns out the thumbsticks are defective. They are built this way. Every single controller will have this issue.

Below average controller for a good price

These controller only last 6 months to a year. They’re cheap and priced cheap. The quality of the product is fairly low. I’ve ran through 7 of these in the past 4-5 years. The customer service is good but the product is mediocre at best

I had 2 of these and each time thye fellt good for a while but something weird has happened twice. First off the controller feels great and responsive and seems to have really good sticks for stick drift. The first weird thing that happened to my controller was whenever i moved the right stick it would act like it was controlling the left stick, it must've been a programming issue or something. The second controller had a problem when inpulled down on the right stick it would act like it was using LT (for example in an fps game it would aim down sights when pulling down right stick.) These are very odd problems and ive never had before only on these controllers

This controller is terrible in every possible way.Even with being carefull stick drift will still form and if you plan on using a headset with it dont because it will randomly stop working after a while.If it has broken before and you bought the warranty dont pay the 10.99 for the new warranty and just get a new one or a refund because a new one will just break again.

Joysticks Drift

Back paddle buttons are positioned perfectly and feel nice and can be programmed quickly. I love them!
However, the joy sticks quality does not last and stick drifting occurs within a month. This is the second power A controller that this has happened to me. If the the joysticks were not made so cheap this controller would be my number 1.
I will not purchase their new Fusion controller because of these consistent joystick issues.
