I would recommend this to a friend- Cons mentioned:Stick drift
Get something else
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After just a couple of weeks I experienced an issue where occasionally the controller would become unresponsive and the headset would emit extremely loud static, pads on the back of the controller would also become mapped to multiple different buttons when this happened. Unplugging it resolved the issue but it's still ridiculous. Then, after less than three months stick drift set in, and now after just over 4 the controller will not turn on regardless of the cord used. If you find yourself buying this junk controller for some unfathomable reason I recommend getting the warranty, but really I recommend you just don't buy it. I've had malfunctions with a Turtle Beach wireless headset years ago and should have known better than to buy a product of theirs again.
