For a wired controller, this is fine. But shortly after purchasing I began having connection issues. This is due to the connector in the controller, it's loose and your controller will consistently "unplug."

Worked, just not for long. The provided braided cord eventually started to fail and crimp, the triggers stopped working after a few months, the "special" buttons on top-center didn't really do as much as it seems. If you want a cheap controller, go for it. Wouldn't recommend if you wanted a long-lasting controller though.

This controller is by far my favorite. I've had it over a year now, and it still works flawlessly. It has a cheap plastic, lightweight feel to it, but I don't mind. Not having a battery contributes to this. The programmable buttons in the back work as intended. The built in sound card allows you to hear your own voice when you're talking on your headset, which I appreciate. I'm not unintentionally yelling when playing games. The only single issue I have, is when I power up my PC, I may have to disconnect and reconnect the USB cable into the controller multiple times to finally get the controller to connect to the PC. I'm not sure what causes the issue, it may just be my computer, but it's a minor inconvenience for a controller with paddles and a sound card for $50. Great controller, great price. Feels cheap, but I assure you, it's a great controller. Can't beat it.

Great controller, especially if you have larger hands. Like almost every xBox controller the joystick breaks / wanders after time, but this brand lasted almost a year to the day before this happened. This brand lasted longer than other brands I have purchased (notably the Microsoft wireless controllers which I have purchased 6 of, which only one lasted 9 months before breaking)

right out of the box the controller has intermittent issues. push forward on the left stick and the right one will randomly and violently jerk to the right. I want to like it, seems like a great controller. unfortunately to have a silly issue like this on a new controller.

I had bought this controller around the end of 2021, and it was honestly a good controller for a while. The paddles on the back definitely came in handy. All seemed okay except for the fact that after a while, the right trigger began to constantly emit input in games, even when it wasn't pressed. Additionally, the provided chord wasn't the greatest, and would crimp and tear with use (shown in photo)

I bought the paddle in July of 2022 and by December the paddle drifts so badly it can not be used.

They'll happily lend a helping hand with the aforementioned process and can assist with further warranty service should that not clear up what you experienced.

For the price this deal is unbeatable. Sure it can feel pretty cheaply made compared to other remotes, but the paddles on the bottom are the best feeling paddles I’ve ever used on a controller (plus they’re super easy to program). I haven’t had to use all the extra sound stuff on there, but it looks cool lol

Within the first week, the controller would disconnect in the middle of game play. I should have returned it then, but it stopped doing that after a few days. I've had it for less than 3 months and it drifts so bad, I can no longer use it. Absolute waste of money.
