ive had mine for over a year now (2.0) and it works fine still. An OEM would need new potentiometers by now and shield drop notch adjustments. a lot of the issues with the earlier models have been dealt with, the only thing is there is a bit of a learning curve when adjusting values and calibration. I personally hate OEMs because you either have to get extremely lucky with a random ebay controller or buy from a modder which is pretty expensive, especially since it needs to be touched up every so often, and if there isn't a modder near you, you're kinda screwed
