    Love this controller. It feels so much better than a normal controller and the paddles/trigger lock options are nice. HOWEVER, I have gone through 2 of these now. The left bumper keeps breaking and losing sensitivity. ALWAYS the left bumper. Hope they fix this flaw.

    The worst experience ever with this controller man. I’m fed up already. Have purchased four and they were all defective out of the box. From bumper issues to stick drift not worth the price for the hassle.

    This controller is a cool idea, but falls apart dispite beefy manufacturing. Normal controllers are just about as durable.

    I have bought two of these. Hands down the most comfortable controller out there. My complaint is that previous one didn’t last that long. A couple of bumber buttons wore out. Same thing happened to me with series one too. Wish there was a better quality controller with the same great feel

    Multiple buttons worn out and won't play properly in games, rubber loose, wrong backpedals. Definitely shouldn't have been marked as the condition it was. I was better off with my 5 year old controller with stick drift. However, could have just been a bad egg in the batch.

    Ordered this controller it when first came out one of the rear paddles just doesn’t register when pressed that one paddle worked when it wanted to, ended up returning and ordered a new one that I’m waiting for again. Software on the controller is a big improvement over the original. Tigger locks can register full pull while locked. The app is easier to set up the controller. Also has 3 profiles plus default.

    Its good when it works. After a while the controller starts to break apart from the back and have various other problems. Not as good as they use to be.
