Customers are saying

Customers consistently note the product's great overall performance, excellent battery life, and extensive customization options. They frequently praise its comfortable feel, good weight, and comfortable grip. However, a significant concern raised by users is the issue of stick drift, which appears to develop quickly. Additionally, some customers have experienced problems with button quality and found the price to be a point of hesitation.

    DO NOT BUY this controller. If I could give it 0 stars I would. Nothing but a paperweight with a carrying case. Defective literally right out of the box. The left thumb stick gets stuck and doesn’t return back to the default position.

    The controller was faulty. It did not work properly at all and had to be returned. Of course, item was then and is still out-of-stock so we are still without a controller. Just out here on the streets walking around with a Best Buy gift card

    This controller is definitely worse than the series one controller. The front just feels very cheap and the home button is clickable and doesn’t feel as good as the old controller. Also when playing on pc, you can’t connect it wired and will experience in game lag.
