    The back buttons are very well done and RB/LB doesn’t jam when you drop the controller. Also, the back bumpers are very easy to use. Solid 9/10

    I'd love it if it wasn't for the fact that i can only use it wired to the PC, if i use it wirelessly every time i hit the A button it acts like i hit the center X button (not the blue X button) other then that it's a good controller

    The rubber grips on this control will peel off over time. This is a known issue that has affected both iterations of this control. Be aware of this potential problem before purchasing.
