    This is absolutely the best controller on the market. There's simply no other controller out there that gives you this level of fine tuning, not to mention the build quality being great. Price is steep.

    Best controller I have ever used. I honestly stopped playing my Playstation 4 because of this controller. Battery life, customization and most of all the tension control on the joysticks are amazing.

    I love these controllers and series 2 improves on the original in every way. Unfortunately, my left stick is now getting stickdrift but, that's why you buy the replacement plan.
