Overall really good for the price but if you're a perfectionist like me you can find better quality elsewhere if you don't plan on using Den you buy the desired controller. The brass tarnished within a few hours and a little Brasso cleaned it up straight away, and brass is just that. However, if you use it as constantly as I do (several hours a day) the gold seems to wear off immediately and Brasso doesn't help (photos fresh after cleaning).
