    Bought two. One for me, me for my son. To me, it’s just a well built controller. To my son, this thing is a gift from the heavens. Like I said, well built, heavy, interchangeable doo-dads, cool charging case, pretty neat. Get one.

    The controller is amazing if you can get one that last more then a few weeks; I have multiple that have last months. In less month I have gone through two of them. One had the spring In the left not stick snap. And I returned that one with my warranty on Jan 10th and this new one is already refusing to connect with the being wired.

    An excellent controller in every way! Especially love the adjustable thumbsticks! The red seems to show more dirt in the thumbsticks though.
