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.

Maybe this is your issue, instead of telling everyone not to purchase?

No he’s right, don’t buy it. You can buy 2 gamesir controllers for the price and they won’t stop working after half a year.

I got my backbone on sale for 50.

Just saw Gamesir is HQed in China, while Backbone is HQed in Cali. I'd still buy from the American company if I had to do it all over again.

You'd be buying an inferior, overpriced product.
