We got this as a Christmas present last year because the joystick cover has come off and it's very awkward to use. The right trigger button also stopped working, making playing car games impossible. We're not usually a heavy gaming family, but this year, like most, we've been more at home. I was hoping it would last longer. Another oddity was that I could remove the batteries from the charger and they wouldn't work. But the normal ones worked fine.
