    AWESOME controller, when it works... I've gone through a few of these. First one had stick drift, 2nd one would disconnect randomly while playing. I would 100% suggest getting the Geek Squad warranty.

    Tough to review as I love this product, but I also hate it as I'm on my third controller. Its a fantastic product for what its designed to do, but it's a terrible product because the quality is terrible. Bumpers and paddles break, usually sometime between 12-24 months. I would rarely suggest this, but if you buy this, make sure you get the 2-year Geek Squad coverage.

    Excellent controller. Different length sticks help a lot with different types of games for aiming and such. Solid and quality feel. I tried oan evil controller but it felt cheap and flimsy by comparison.

    When I use a controller I always end up switching back to this one. Premium quality and build. Map one of the paddles to l3 for gpa games and you’ll never experience drift.

    Pricey so try to catch it on sale. But after using this controller It’s hard to use a standard one again. Definitely recommend pairing with the Microsoft Windows dongle for PC Gaming.

    I would like the A,X,Y,B to be quite a bit more responsive and not so nitpickey about how they are pressed. The overall feel and ability to customize how the controller plays are absolutely superb.

    It's a solid piece of hardware with good grip and functionality. Unfortunately you can't do macros in programming mode. The A button was a bit sticky at first but after a few weeks of wear it well broken in.
