    Battery never worked. Needs to be plugged in 100% of the time. Basically not wireless. Waste of money, when I could have bought a wired controller for significantly less.

    Feels really cheap, much better off just getting the Nintendo pro controller. Just having it in hand feels like it can snap in half if you're not careful
