Really comfortable controller for me, personally. First and most important, this is a wired controller. It’s not wireless. I happen to have my Series X hooked up to my 19 inch LED Computer monitor. My room in my apartment isn’t very big. So, my Windows PC is connected to the same monitor as by XBseriesX and NSwitch. Everything is within four feet of each other on my desk. I only sit 3 feet from my LED widescreen. That’s my setup.
The controller, as I’ve stated, is really comfortable to hold. However, I think people with really big hands, who find the XB Elite 2 comfortable, will not like the feel of this controller. They might find it too small. The set up was really easy. I just read the instructions and hooked it up. Then connected a pair of “in ear” wired ear buds into the audio jack and started playing Call of Duty. So far, there has been no “Stick drift”. The sticks don’t use mechanical connections to move around. Instead they use Hall Effect joysticks, so there should be now stick drift. I will repeat, that what I like the most is the comfort. Since there is no rechargeable battery, the controller is lighter. This adds to the comfort. The soft ware is easy to use and I programmed the rear buttons to the L3 & R3 function. The software is downloadable from the XBox App Store and is free.

To start, I bought this because I needed a controller that was mostly reliable, had back buttons and Hall effect joysticks. This controller offers that. After use of a few months it hasn’t shown almost any signs of wear or tear any where on the controller physically, but there was a major issue with the wired controller wire it came with. After a while the controller started randomly turning off and it became a more regular thing the more I used the controller. I searched up what the issue could be and it said the wire it came with was the issue. I ended up luckily having another usb c controller wire to replace it and it works just fine now with no issues.

This controller has some major pros which everyone knows about:
1. 1000hz polling rate (even on xbox)
2. Good hall-effect sticks
A few cons:
1. Only 2 back buttons
2. The sticks actually have quite a bit of drift on 0 deadzone settings
3. No customizable stick sensitivities
4. Mine randomly stopped working after a couple months, and nothing turns it back on

Cant really beat the quality and feel for a remote thats around this price point. Would recommend on budget. Back paddles seem slightly less responsive then id like.

My son worried me to death for this controller but he loves this one better than the cordless controllers as it doesn't have all of that wonky play in it.

It is so much easier to do different moves and things like that with the tabs in the front and tabs underneath the bottom it’s absolutely great! I’m thinking about getting some more! I got the controller probably about five weeks ago and my younger sister wants one too. The price wasn’t bad either and my fingers don’t cramp so that’s always a good thing. Heck I may even get one for my older son who is a constant gamer and his kids

Literally zero stick drift and no input lag. I have been using this controller for 2 years playing rainbow six siege and battlefield and I still have no problems with the sticks or buttons. 10/10 will buy again.

This is a top notch controller for me. I’ve been using it to play various games on PC. The back buttons are responsive and have the ability to be locked to be static and disabled. The software allows for button remapping, deadzone adjustments, polling rates and more.
