    Paddles can't be mapped to keys on PC

    I'm sure this is a nice controller when used on an Xbox, but the whole reason I upgraded to this controller was because I wanted to have the ability to use the additional 4 paddles mapped as keys on a keyboard. After purchasing and setting up, I find out this is not possible, at least not natively. The only thing the paddles can be used for is as a 2nd A/B/X/Y button for 'comfort'. There is an app out there you can buy that supposedly will make this work, but I'm not paying $180 for a controller that won't natively do what it should. Returning.

    Pretty bummed out. Heard really good things about this controller, at first it worked great. After about 3 weeks the left joystick click stopped working and the X and B buttons started glitching out. I love the features on it though I just wish it was better quality!

    Random prolong vibration and stick drift

    I had an issue with the button schemes because it wasnt registering any inputs but it was mainly because of the Steam software and by deleting all inputs i fixed it. However i got a more serious issues and that comes down to the wuality control. The vibration motor on the left side works good but the right side sounds very cheap as if it is hitting some piece of plastic. The hair trigger adjustments makes the trigger sound hollow and cheap. Considering the fact youre paying a premium and receiving a poorly made controller is unacceptable. The quality materials they used on the other hand, is superb. Hands down the best controller on all platforms. But the QC is awful. Im going to get an exchange and see if i am going to encounter anything similar. If i get the same results, ill just get my refund and continue using my Switch Pro controller.

    Bought one cause I was hearing decent things so decided to try it out. Very overpriced and buttons sometimes don't work. Already had to contact microsoft twice and they pretty much told me tough luck thats how it is sometimes.
