Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Before getting into the review, let me just say that I have bought easily more than 100 various USB controllers over the last 3 years. I buy them to be used with setups I sell to friends and acquaintances. The version of USB controller I have purchased the most has been XBOX wired controllers like this one. I have purchased variations of the same setup from multiple different sellers with prices ranging from $13 to $20. With that said, this one is by far the best one I've ever purchased. Since there are no CONS to this controller, let me go into the PROS given my experiences handling a good 50 other XBOX wired controllers I've purchased. - THE BUTTONS: They are properly seated and solid. By that I mean when you shake the controller, there is no chattering that you would hear. Other ones on Amazon for around the same price sound like a box of Tic Tacs when shaken due to the individual buttons being a short distance away from the rubber stops on the circuit boards. This issue with other controllers leads to failed presses of the buttons and also makes the controller overall loud to use. - THE CASING RIGIDITY: The controller casing feels more sound than others I've experienced. There is no give when trying to squeeze or twist the casing body in your hands. The plastic of the casing is either thicker or more supported within, or is made from a better quality plastic blend than competitors. - THE CASING FLUSH: The two-piece casing is entirely flush whereas I've had other controllers where the screw holes didn't match up properly or the cast was slightly off. This caused the casing body to be slightly off making some sharp casting ends of the controllers stick out ever so slightly as to annoy you when playing. They also had a tendency to creek because of this. Not with this one. It's solid! - RUBBER GRIPS: I don't think the maker even needed to have these, but it's definitely a plus. They aren't just for looks as they are very functional over conventional XBOX controllers that tend to slip in your hand when your palms get a little sweaty. - ANALOG SENSITIVITY: The analog buttons on this controller had a nice gradient of intensity especially in FPS and driving games. Others I've had have been as bad as having three settings of sensitivity being 0%, 10%, and 100%. It was a major pain in the backside trying to stabilize aiming in an FPS when the difference in speed goes from 10% to 100% with just a millimeter of movement. This controller has no problem with it. - DRIVERS (software): The controller paired with my Windows 10 gaming rig faster than I could realize it. It happened so fast that I actually thought it didn't happen as many others I've owned took a second or two to be recognized. No further setup was required as this really was a Plug-n-Play controller. - PRICE: Like I said (over and over), I have owned dozens upon dozens of these types of USB XBOX controllers. This one is in the same price range as many others that are inferior to it. Overall, this is a solid and precise controller. Gameplay is far less frustrating when you don't have to destroy your thumbs trying to zero in on an opponent or finding yourself distracted by the sound of chattering buttons.
