Customers are saying

Customers express satisfaction with the product's great overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options, along with its comfortable feel and good weight. However, a significant concern among users is the prevalence of stick drift and issues with button quality, particularly with the bumpers and A button. The price is also a point of hesitation for some.

    I love this product. It had all the features that i was looking for and then some. I live how it can charge through the protective case. I definitely recommend for anyone who is a gamer.

    Lots of profiles but unnatural paddle positon

    Nearly as good as the previous gen. I like how you can have more than 2 profiles (3 loaded at any time) but the controller is narrow than the previous gen one and, as such, the upper paddles require you to curve your fingers to access them.

    Great product, great price. My original series 2 broke and didn’t to buy the full kit again, so the fact they offer this one without accessories and charger for less, is perfect.

    I play games on just about everything (PC, Xbox, Phone) and I am so glad I have this controller to use on all these platforms. As soon as you pick it up you know it's a great quality build. Extremely easy to switch out sticks and d-pad (takes seconds). It's also very easy to set the paddles to whatever button you want (I did it through the Xbox).

    I own the first one which is great. I bought the new and it is 10 times better. Tension control thumb sticks are awesome! Smaller paddles which is great cause I used to accidentally hit the bottom ones on the series one. Not sure why some people are saying the controller is slippery, cause I don’t have issues with that. Nothing negative to say about the controller at all

    Arguably the best wireless controller in the market for PC gaming. Sometimes has connection problem but overall very good. Maybe the Bluetooth adapter helps with the connection problem but is sold separately. The built quality is great. Nice to hold in hand specifically with the satisfying weight.
