My son uses this daily, has gone through numerous Sony brand controllers, says these play faster and better than the Sony brand. In 2 months of play he has had no issues.Perfect replacementWhen using the controller a message keeps popping up saying, “this is not a genuine controller, and some functions might be limited.”The controller functions as it should. Seems a little bulky in the hand but not bad. I have had this controller for about 3 months and it has help up amazingily. I have a family of 7 and 4 of those are boys. I am impressed with the drop durability. The additional buttons on top are a little bothersome at first. Then you get used to them.Very nice controller . quiet operation, greatOut of the box we've had major issues with these controllers. The unfortunate part about this controller is that the ergonomics aspects of it are spot on. It feels great in the hand, but is almost unusable due to the left thumbstick constantly sticking when you hit the top right portion. I can't really blame it on just getting a bad unit, as I ordered two of them (one for the gf) and both do it, making them pretty worthless except for when you need the turbo function. I had thought that maybe I could take it apart and use a fine sanding paper to sand down the top part of where it sticks and then polish it up, but you can't really even do that, as they glue the rubber grips over the seam from what I can tell, making it impossible to even take apart without having to worry about whether or not you can properly get them back together. Add in the fact that the thumbstick is extremely inaccurate and has dead zones in it, making any kind of wheel selection in a game a pain to select individual items.Then recently my girlfriend started using a wired headset with hers and it constantly cuts out.I would definitely NOT recommend these for anyone that has any need outside of just being able to do something repetitive like crafting the same items over and over in a game without having to sit there and spam a button.It’s a great controller for the cost. My only complaint is in certain games it almost seems like the controller causes game glitches, and when I switch to a regular controller they stop. Otherwise great controller.I bought the controller for a person who games a lot and she loves it. She says she loves the feel and the control set up
