I broke down and got this wired controller after 3 (yes 3) original x box wireless controllers started massively drifting.
Price
Anyway this controller works great just what i was looking for for the price!
Affordable and works well with my xbox
Its a high end, top tier cheap product.
This was about 1/3 the cost of a new wireless controller.
Competitiveness
Overall, it feels a lot better than the 2 previous generic controllers i tried.
The black design looks sleek, and it works seamlessly with both xbox series x|s and xbox one.
I don't know how this one feels differently from a brand name and i consider that blissful.
Honestly, i can't tell it's an off brand anyway and, most importantly, everything works!
