The buttons were noisy and a little louder than "official" but that's not surprising. What I noticed is that the buttons never worked properly and basically stopped working after about 3 weeks. In-game, the left stick was constantly registering as being pushed up - it's been like this since day one. I thought I could handle it until a few keys started registering double clicks once pressed and then RB eventually stopped working entirely - not great when trying to play FPS. Save your money, go to Walmart and buy an XBOX 360 controller for $20.
