Even though the controller is pricey, it is worth every penny! Controls are smooth on all levels!

It took a little getting use to at first, but now I can’t go back to a ps4 controller

First off I am a Gen 2 Xbox Elite controller owner as well so I will offer comparisons. The Astro is a touch smaller than the elite controller but not by much, much bigger than a standard PS4 controller. Connection is easy over a proprietary USB cable or included wireless dongle to PC or PS4. I don't like they have a proprietary USB cable connector if it breaks you can't just swap in another one laying around without modification. Small Sync button on the back and power button on the front. From what I can tell the controller does not seem to shut itself off after inactivity so you have to make sure you turn it off. Xbox Elite controller comes with 4 removable paddles on the back, this has two paddle buttons which are not removable. Also like the Xbox controller if you are on PC you cant just map them to any key on the keyboard, you can only emulate another controller button. Hate that I need special software to do what should be a basic function on a $200.00 controller. Comes with three sets of thumb sticks, tool to make modifications. You can swap the dpad and thumb stick locations if that's your thing. If you use a claw grip this is easier to hold onto than the xbox elite as its a touch smaller. Battery life is pretty good what you would expect from it. I mainly used this on my PC but keep in mind to use it on the PS4 you must use the included USB dongle on the PS4 same as PC. Controller has the standard DS4 touch pad that feels similiar to the PS4 one. PC has software you can download from their site to make custom profiles, adjust thumbstick curves, reassign buttons etc, same as the xbox equivalent software. You can also update the firmware of the dongle and controller this way. Overall I'm a little disappointed with this controller for the price point of $199.99. If you want to up your game on PS4, however, your options are limited. If you want something extra on PC I think the xbox one elite controller is the better way to go, however, only time will tell if the Astro holds up longer or not.

It improve my game performance in games like black ops 4 and Destiny 2. Works great on ps3 too tho

Really helped my game. The replaceable sticks are a great feature.

Overall it's Great. I highly Recommend purchasing this item. My son loves this item.

He loves this enough to make me tired of hearing how it works the best controller he's ever had..:)

The controller feels awesome, perfect for me even though I have big hands. The material feels great and the trigger buttons are perfectly positioned (feels like it was molded for my hands). Although after a few hours of gaming I do start having hand fatigue which is normal but I think it's just my hands getting used to the buttons underneath and trying to avoid them when not in use. I had no problems playing with the controller right out of the box. I still have not checked if there is any firmware and it works perfectly. I do find it weird that everyone who has given this controller a bad review does not have the verified purchase stamp. (Just an observation) Pros: Long battery life. (I believe the white line is charged, orange when it's getting low or charging.) Feels very well constructed. Grip feels good, has good weight and balance. Modular components so you can replace a part instead of sending whole controller out for repair which could take weeks. Has additional Analog sticks with different lengths and caps (concave and domed) Cons: Price - $200 for a controller is steep. (still glad I bought though) Doesn't turn on PS4 with PS button. - (not a deal breaker. Get off your butt and turn on the PS4. But I am hoping this can just be corrected with a firmware update) Switched one of the analog sticks and now it does feel different. (not very noticeable but wanted to write a honest review) I have purchased other controllers in the past and have returned them due to one issue or another (don't want to throw any other brand under the bus) but this is one that I will be keeping for a long time. If you spend a lot of time gaming this is a great controller and definitely worth the price.

Everything about this control is a 10. Took some time to setup, but it wasn't that bad.

Far better than standard ps4 controller Sturdier and no play on joystick controls.

Best controller I've found. A+ for PS4 and PC controller gaming.

The item was as described and was very easy to set up and add to my existing system.

swappable parts, raised joysticks programable back paddles. this control is amazing.

The best controller I ever bought for the playstation 4 i would recommend

There isnt much more to add except to say I think my son might love this more than me lol.

Real mechanical feeling of joysticks everything else feels like all other controllers should

You get your money’s worth with this controller! Better than any scuff controller

Absolutely love this controller! reconfiguring the buttons/sticks was fun

This controller is very nice. Was easy to adjust to it from my controller for my X-box.

By far the best PC / PS4 controller out there! This is what custom controller should be!
