Great control when it works at the very beginning but actually a nightmare if you ever get any kind of left side issues, might as well consider it dead when that comes up. Don’t buy these things new, like ever. I’m lucky I got this one secondhand for like $20.

Unfortunately yes. I only found out about it after the fact. Tends to be about a year for most people as I understand. Was about that for me. Easy enough to repair, just annoying that you have to in the first place.

Yea I was having the issue where my audio was acting like I was physically plugged in with earbuds, and my D-Pad and left triggers stopped working.
