Many appreciate the improved battery life and the addition of paddles, enhancing gameplay. However, some users report issues with stick drift and the durability of certain buttons. The overall experience appears positive, but potential problems with controller components should be considered.

    This is an absolute must have imo! The original controllers just feel cheap in comparison. Also, it you are into the 3 different trigger stops you can make all the difference in a shootout situation.

    While the price may be steep the value you get with this controller is unmatched, with the app it is easy to get how you want it and make it your own. If you play enough and are willing to pay the price tag it is a great well made product.
