    Controllers are just not made like they use to. Have not purchased a controller in the last few years where it worked as normal for more than 6 months before something starts bugging out.

    Im not sure who is giving this controller a good ratings but they most of those have to be fake reviews. I bought this controller because i havent had a microsoft xbox controller that works past a month. So i decided to try this and the first one i got right out the box had a defect, so i exchanged it. It took a couple days because they had to order it. When i got the 2nd one, it lasted 2 weeks and then the joystick started to malfunction. To late to return. They all ask to sell warranty for these things and thats because they know they will all break and dont last at all. i havent had a good controller since the xbox 360.

    Good enough for what it is. Cheap, barely a week of use and the triggers are sticking causing issues in a variety of ways. The is a cheap alternative to a proper controller that likely wont last long under an abid gamer. The cable thay comes with it is loose at times and disconnects the controller without ever coming unplugged.
