They are fine but they break very easily; after a while they start to "drift" and the games become unplayable.

I needed to repair one pair last year because the drift was unbearable; the repair costs almost as much as a new one. (And one started drifting again.)

I am not a heavy player at all and I got the drift.

I wish you could just turn off the sticks in the system software — it's a trivial fix that would make the problem a whole lot more bearable.
