    I LOVE MY CONTROLLER! The only downside is when you drop your controller, the pieces go flying everywhere, this is bad if you have a wired set and are clumsy! Feels very luxurious.

    Off the bat being able to adjust the tightness of the sticks is what makes it worth it for me. How far you can press down the triggers also is a very convenient thing when switching from driving to shooting.

    This is Waaaaaaaay better than the first generation. The Rechargeable batter was much needed. I’m glad they replaced the rubber grips because they kept coming off.
