Bought in late March this year, started getting rather bad right-ward drift in the right stick a couple of days ago. Still good for most purposes, unusable for others. Rear buttons are more of a hinderance than a help, but mostly only when picking it up and putting it down once you get used to them existing. Quite possibly the most ergonomic controller I've used (plus or minus joycons, which have a full l/r split, which is a Huge advantage). Works as well as any other controller I've had reason to use on linux, save that, at least with my set up, plugging in or unplugging the dongle while the PC is on will cause the PC to lock up (not an issue I've ever had with wired controllers, never used another wireless controller with a pc to compare it to).
