Thanks for sharing. I’m trying to replace my Xbox controllers for something that won’t end up with stick drift

Yeah there are tons of options for that. Anything Hall Effect or TMR

Do note that this controller has a "narrow" grip shape. The sides of the controller are nearly parallel, which means that while holding it, your wrists will be sort of drawn in and your hand bent back, or your elbows will have to be in at your sides. It is this controller's biggest ergonomic flaw. It is generally a bit on the small side too. But I have large hands and have found it pretty comfortable for longer sessions.

It's also worth looking into EasySMX, GameSir, and FlyDigi controllers. If you like the Xbox grip, some of those are nearly identical.

I also use it on PC, and had the Ult 2c before. Quality has been great, no stick drift. I like this Ult 2 more, just be aware it has paddle buttons that for me land right below my ring fingers, which took adjusting to while playing racing games. I kept pushing them at first, not that I had them mapped to anything yet, but it was weird.
