    Nice upgrade to the original controller. the paddles are great and they are def missed when i have to use the original ones. build quality is great and although a bit expensive it's worth it. No drift of the sticks ... yet.

    Awesome controller, feels great and has the perfect weight. A little pricey but worth it. Comes with extra parts to fit your comfort and the added paddles makes customizing the controller a hit because of the locations.

    Much better hand feel than the standard controller. Easily customized with provided additional knobs. Still trying to get used to the paddles on back, as standard controllers do not include them.

    Was defective and I had to return it. One of the controller stalks was misaligned, not allowing for proper control. I said "yes" to recommend the item because I got a replacement which was fine.
