So far, the controller is definitely in good quality. It was packaged excellently and so far, I have no issues in the first few days of usage. Obviously, it is good to note that it is the first few days, and customary of game controllers is that it will start to lose function and get buggy due to wear and tear and constant use. However, the lifetime on this controller is to be expected to last more than a year, maybe two if taken well care of through constant use. The quality of this controller can definitely be extended if there is no constant use. It is definitely to my benefit to buy this new because of the quality and acknowledging how gaming wear and tear can limit the long time quality of the controller. I highly suggest getting this new. Usual Xbox One controllers cost around the same price of this product($59.99) without a rechargeable battery. I feel strongly that this price is justified because not only are you getting some new and in very good quality, you are also saving more money in the long run as you will not have to go and buy AA batteries, which are cheap, but will eventually accrue a decent chunk of your spending in the span of a few months (however, this may not be true for everyone; this statment applies primarily to serious and constant gamers, but this still applies to saving a little money over time instead of spending money every now and then for something you already paid for).
Overall, amazing purchase with a lot of long term saving in mind and is worth buying new. If you cannot, used should be just as fine, just make sure that it is good quality for you. At the end of the day, it is up to you to find the best controller for your habits and needs. This is a very good start if you are just starting out and wanting to get into hardcore gaming.

sticky bumpers just my luck!!!!
So igot this today went to do a look over of the controller and was not happy when the first thing that happened was i clicked the left bumper,now when i did that it started sticking not bad at the begin but as i clicked it more and more it got worst ,then it would stop,then it just stopped working im now with out a controller again my luck,plus the box was crushed,but then i tryed to get it replaced and amazon said this so now i have to wait send it back in and wait 3-4 days to get my money back because they dont do replacements they just want to do a refund, but its ok ill just go buy one at the store, but other then that the 3.5mm port works awesome and you can use earbuds with inline mic to chat with friends and listean to game play its a must have in my option but this is what it says when you try to do a replacement.

Love the controller and cord. I actually prefer rechargeable AA batteries for their versatility over the battery kit!
