That's a good deal, I bought my nephews a couple for Christmas and they were $59 IIRC.

I have one hooked up to my computer and I used it on my tablet (my tablet has windows 10 on it), but for some reason, when I play games that use the triggers to move the camera angles, the games just spin around and around and dont stop no matter what without touching the triggers. I thought it was the controller, so I hooked up another one, my kid has a xbone and has 2 of them, and the other does the same, so there must be a problem with the driver. BUT the tablet, and the pc, have different versions of windows, so its a problem with the driver in windows, and no way to get a updated driver for the controller, that I can find that is.

LMK if anyone else has the same problem when they get theirs with their games as well...I even changed the cords I was using, and that didnt help either. When I play racing games, they act just fine, but its when I play my games, some of them, that use them to move the camera around side to side, they act up and wont quit spinning around. And in one game, I can remember right now which it is, it holds still, but the moment I touch a trigger all hell breaks loose, they go to spinning and they dont stop.

Have you tried upgrading the firmware on the controllers? There are firmware updates available that might fix that bug. On the older controllers, just hook the controller up by USB cable to the xbox, go into settings and you can update the controller firmware. On the newer ones, you can update them wirelessly.

Don't know if that will help, but it's worth a shot.....

Try opening the controller list (start>run/search>"joy.cpl") and doing the calibration procedure for your controller. Although, if it's working correctly in some games that might not be the issue.
