    Control did its job but unfortunately the life of the analogs wasnt. I have had the control for a little over 1 month (took almost 2 weeks to arrive) and suddenly one of my analogs stopped working. From one day of use to another the right analog stick was glitched, even though its in the center my screen keeps going up and spinning. This isnt the first time i buy a control from power A. Fortunately they have a 1 year warranty on them but i have to submit a claim. I wanted to believe in the product because they have so many varieties, great price and for any console but i wont be buying from this specific company. Hope you guys have better luck.

    I have 4 kids so expensive controllers is a no go anymore so I tend to go with PowerA or PDP products nowadays ! They work well and always seem to last about as long as the name brand tbh. Sometimes the dreaded stick drift will occur faster than my name brands did but at half cost or less I will take that risk.

    Holds up just as well as the Microsoft controllers. That doesn’t necessarily say much because all the Microsoft controllers including the Elite series are not built like tanks. Stick drift is almost 100% inevitable. The question is just when. It may be a few days or a few years but most likely somewhere in between. Dropping these controllers seems to speed up that process so try not to drop them. The back buttons are why I got this. I was moving from an elite 1 controller. Huge savings was number one reason. As far as stick feel this is just like the Microsoft controllers. The difference is the feel of the buttons. They are not as responsive feeling, almost a bit soft. It’s just a matter of getting used to. Another difference is hard to explain and I’m not sure if it’s just me or the way this controller is. It always takes two presses of the guide button when I want to go to the menu before the menu pops up. Or when I type the first letter of a message, some weird character pops up and I have to erase it before I can go on to type my message. This sort of thing does not happen in game. Only when navigating Xbox menus and typing messages. For the price and if you’re going to use the back buttons, it’s worth it. Like I said, quality wise seems on par with the Microsoft brand. Take it from someone who’s owned MANY controllers over the years.

    It's a good controller. I've used it almost daily for the past few months and i've gotten no stick drift. Only gripes i have is that the triggers are VERY sensitive, and the paddle buttons aren't recognized by any games i've played. As for the triggers, the springs feel VERY loose, but nonetheless they are responsive. I wouldn't choose this controller for a driving game is how i'd best describe the triggers. The paddle buttons aren't recognized by anything i've played, nor does discord recognize them as usable keybinds. Other than that it's a good controller

    This has held up better than any other controller in this price range and even the official xbox controllers. Only better ones are high spec such as razer with mechanical switch buttons, turtle beach with hall effect joysticks, and modded scuff controllers ranging from twice this price to 7 times as much!

    Easy to use great price controller for Windows 10

    A great controller at a great price. Bought this for use on a Windows 10 PC to play games, and it works great. I didn't have to download drivers (it automatic) and it worked as soon as it was plugged in. When you plug the USB into the controller itself, make sure to wiggle it a bit/make sure it is really in. It is a bit difficult. It is a wired controller, so you don't need to waste time charging it or buying batteries if all you'll do is sit in front of the PC to use it. It is lower cost, and convenient. The feel is good, and it is easy to use.

    Basic Controller, I got it because the D pad on my other controller was reacting accurately. The D pad on this controller wore out after a week also. I guess there is no controller out there that the d pad wont wear out and delay after a lot use of the buttonnot

    Reliable controller. Simple and practical, its obviously not the standard Microsoft controller, but for online shooters and most games, its great. Its surprisingly well build, i feel the RT / LT triggers are too “loose” but respond perfectly. For the price, its an all around good controller, plus no lag, and extra buttons its a win.

    I pretty much only use these controllers nowadays. They work great for about 3-4 months, but start to have drift issues after that. Even with their faults, I love ‘em.
