Customers are mixed about the performance of the video game controller. Some mention that it really works well, while others say that it randomly stops working and doesn't work well for playing NHL. The left stick doesn' t respond properly and is a bit glitchy.

Customers are mixed about the durability of the video game controller. Some mention that the build quality is solid, the controller feels sturdy, and the quality is better than expected. However, others say that the controller fell apart after a month, it eventually breaks down somewhere, and that the glue on the case isn't all too durable.

Customers are mixed about the quality of the video game controller. Some mention it's a great controller with predictable controls and a nice feel. They also say it'll be great for a backup controller and is practical. However, others say that it just became useless, has a defective build, and feels cheap.

Customers are mixed about the comfort of the video game controller. Some mention that it feels nice and comfortable for extended play, while others say that it's incredibly uncomfortable to hold. The joystick and triggers feel great, but the bumpers didn't have quite enough feedback. It feels a lot better while playing games, and the buttons and joystick are comfortable and responsive. However, some say that the thumb indent makes any prolonged use uncomfortable, and that the left trigger feels smoother than the right trigger.

"...The textured grip is all along the underside of the controller which feels nice and comfortable for extended play times...." Read more

Customers are dissatisfied with the buttons on the video game controller. They mention that they are clicky, noisy, and wonky. Some say that the buttons are overly sensitive and actuate with very little pressure. They also say that they're not as smooth or comfortable to use as the official Xbox ones. Additionally, some customers report that the shoulder buttons don't register at all and are difficult to reach.

"...The shoulder buttons are very clicky, not sure if this is how Xbox controllers are but on Nintendo and PS4 it's silent...." Read more

"...found they are slow to register, or in many cases, the shoulder buttons don't register at all...." Read more

Customers are dissatisfied with the stickiness of the video game controller. They mention that the stick drifts, the vibration feature gets stuck, and the analog sticks can get stuck. Some say that the right analog stick can sometimes get stuck in an input even while not being moved. Customers also report that the joystick drifts and the vibration can go out of control.

"...about a year and a half of medium use gaming before the thumbsticks rubber wore off and the R3/L3 buttons stopped working...." Read more

"...too long in line to use the toilet - thereby breaking sprint, ruining maneuvering, or causing what was meant to be a jump to become a "stagger off..." Read more

"...Update: the left analog stick stopped working. I don't use this often and I'm fairly gentle with it. It was cheap but I'm still disappointed...." Read more

Decided to write a review after a full month of fairly regular use on my PC. I honestly was pleasantly surprised by this controller, I was originally going to buy an official wireless but didn’t want to spend as much at that time and batteries, albeit re-chargeable ones are needed as well normally. So this was a good option price wise and it has nice cable length with a quick release connection like Microsoft used for the Xbox 360 wired controllers which keeps you from yanking the USB out or torqueing the cable weird if you step on it or something which I’ve done at least once now so that’s a cool feature for a USB connection. The buttons are all responsive and the sticks and triggers feel and work well, my only complaint there is with the bumpers located just above the triggers. They have a heavier click,and make an audible noise when pressed which is a bit of a pet peeve with me but not a deal breaker. The textured grip is all along the underside of the controller which feels nice and comfortable for extended play times. The rumble is nice and solid but in one or two games the rumble would continue almost indefinitely, although this may be an issue with those games and not necessarily the controller. All in all I’m pretty impressed with Amazon for making this the way they did and it’s a decent controller for the price and works just as well as any others I’ve used for various games like Witcher 3, Dying Light, Deus Ex and many others. Would definitely recommend after a solid month of using. Will update further if conditions change unless it’s due to my negligence and breaks that way.Pros:-Textured grip feels nice and is comfortable-Buttons are responsive and function well-Joysticks have held up under decent use and a few minor falls-Directional pad functions well-Triggers are smooth and responsive-Quick release connection-Good rumble strength-Nice cable lengthCons:-Bumpers are a heavier click with an audible sound-Some games the rumble effect continues for an unusually lengthy period of time
