    Only issue is that it only has three clicks to adjust the thumbsticks, and even on the lowest setting they are stiffer than a stock controller

    Much better than the previous version. A little more expensive but you get what you pay for. The whole thing feels solid and sturdy and comes with lots of ways to adjust to your liking. Buttons and paddles feel great and the “charging dock” is a good addition.

    While the price may be steep the value you get with this controller is unmatched, with the app it is easy to get how you want it and make it your own. If you play enough and are willing to pay the price tag it is a great well made product.

    Great controller, I have every high end controller made for ps and Xbox and this is by far the best overall. The scuff’s wear out too fast(I play a lot). For the price it’s best controller for competitive gaming.

    Got a "excellent" condition controller, turned out to have stick drift on both sticks. The 2 front bumpers where double skipping like crazy. The back buttons do not register all clicks.
