    seems sturdy, grip seems better, it is expensive though and internal battery only will likely break later. Beware.

    Its a good controller. The features are great, being able to key bind is amazing, trigger locks are top tier. But I've gone through 4 of these so far. THEY DO NOT LAST. I do recommend this controller but get the replacement plan you WILL need it. First one was dropped from my desk to a carpeted floor. Right bumper stopped working. Next one the right bumper just stopped working for no reason other than use. Third one right bumper stopped working half the time and if i press on both thumb sticks the controller shuts off. Ordering my 4th one right now as I type this. I love the idea of this controller but for $179 you would think they would last longer than a year.

    I hesitated for the longest time as whether to pick this up since, yes, it is a bit pricey. However, I have no regrets having owned now for several months. Very premium feel to it from the grips, buttons, triggers...just all around. I have had family members who have gone on to buy it after having used mine. Quality also feels solid so I'm hoping it will give me a few years of usage!

    Have had gaming consoles for 15+ years and never felt the need to get upgraded controllers. Picked this up on Black Friday and couldn’t be happier. The tension adjustment on the analog sticks is alone worth the price. Get the core model its a better deal.

    Love the controller, just not sure white is the best color for me. But for the cost and the customizability it's well worth the money. Warning this is a core controller, doesn't come with the charging dock or attachments. So make sure you have those before buying a core controller.
