I have an update on my original November 11 review. First I have to say that I have always used the "first generation" xbox one controllers and personally I think the quality has deteriorated in recent years.

Initially I was quite positive about the build quality of the controller, however I noticed that there is considerably more play on the Y, X, B, A buttons than I am used to. When pressing the A button, for example, you can still "wiggle it" up and down with your thumb, so the sensor sometimes does not register your touches properly, so that you have to press the buttons more firmly in practice. This is not the case with the aforementioned "first generation", there the buttons are tighter in the controller and you can't even get a pin between the buttons.

This will not be a problem for most users, but for the fanatic it is an annoying point. So since I just received a second replacement controller with the same "problem", it seems to be a common thing. It is enough reason for me to return the product and to consider the Elite controller.

It is a nice, beautiful controller that fits well in the hand. The color of the controller also pops out, very cool!
