Pros

It feels the same and the * work with no lag. The layout is difficult to get used to if you play xbox or playstation, but the controller itself is solid.

Afterglow makes good, solid controllers! Decent controller and better quality than expected for 20 bucks. I was impressed with the weight and feel - they seem solid. I always love having controllers that look different from your typical, generic kind.... Read More

Quality

The joysticks feel good and the plastic quality while not oem quality, is pretty close.
