Customers are saying

Customers are delighted by the controller's exceptional overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options. Users also frequently praise the device's comfortable grip, balanced weight, and high-quality tactile feel. However, some customers have expressed concerns regarding the durability of the buttons and bumpers, as well as the early onset of stick drift. Despite these technical frustrations and the premium price point, many still consider it a top-tier gaming accessory.

    It was a gift for my husband. He really loved it, won’t let anyone else touch it and uses it just about every night.

    I had the Series 2 when it first came out and after many hours it needed replacing. This is good but for some reason when clicking the left trigger to aim, it clicks in and out on the screen while you’re holding it down.

    I pre-ordered this and loved everything about this controller. But I had to return mine because both sticks would not stay up perfectly straight - there was always some input being sent no-matter-what way they were leaning. I'm sure I would love one that is made correctly!
