    BEST REMOTE I OWNED

    I was a little worried about by this remote because all my other remotes analogs seem to go out but this one is still holding strong. The grip the material is holding up and I play at least 4 hours a day. Even though it is pricey I highly recommend it.

    I finally managed to talk myself into getting one of these and I have zero regrets. The construction, weight, and responsiveness of this controller is awesome. I love how I can configure it and the weight and feel of it in my hands when I am playing.

    Controller Only Works for 2-3 Months

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The controller itself is awesome, but it breaks super easily. I've bought 2 of these controllers this calendar year and both give out after like 2-3 months of regular use. RB/LB stop responding or respond multiple times for each press. The A/B/X/Y buttons stop responding. This controller is great for the first 2-3 months of use, but both of the controllers I have bought have broken down after a short period of time. If you are going to buy this controller, make sure you get the warranty so that you can return it when it does break down.
