I've purchased two of these controllers in the past years. Unfortunately, I must give it 3/5 (1 star lost for both times) due to both controllers causing me months/years of grief.
Pros
-Shipped quickly, packaged neatly
-The controller itself responds correctly; no issues gaming (other than the one mentioned)
Cons:
-Left joystick sticks a lot while playing, thus making my characters (in-game) slide unless I manually fix it by pulling it up, to unstick. Frustrating.
To elaborate, my first controller starting sticking after the first 6 months of use. I endured this for months longer, until deciding to buy another one, thinking mine might be defective. New one comes in, this time starts sticking after only 3 months.
I am unsure if I have a heavy thumb or something, but logically moving it Up, Down, Right, Left takes a certain amount of pressure from my thumb. Once the sticking started, the controller doesn't appear to realize that I'm not doing a full pressing motion, just trying to move normally. It starts sticking again if the joystick is too close to the center once my finger puts some pressure on it.

Customer reviews
Had bought these so that we're not tied to cords as we have a large living room. Nothing really to say but that it works as intended, zero issues. Buttons are fast and precise and pairing is quick. We use amazon rechargeable batteries so we don't have to worry about if there are new batteries in the drawer.This pairs quickly without issues. Makes things safer in the living room when the kids are playing as the cords are not all over the carpet.Recommend to anyone as Microsoft has quality products.👍👍👍 I hope you found this review helpful, I try hard to make reviews as such with facts. I'd appreciate if you clicked on the Helpful button just below 👍👍👍
