    I was super stoked to get this controller because I enjoy using paddles on my controller. However, I've only had it for about 3 months and the left bumper has already failed me. It has stopped working completely. Would not recommend it for an avid competitive player.

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

    Purchased an open box controller and very happy with it. Only gripe i have is the charging case doesnt work as well as i would like but its not an issue i would remove a star over. Charges great through the controller and all the different sticks and d pad are easy to swap out and use.

    So many things you can do with this controller that makes it so much better than a regular controller but the stick drift is still there. Wouldn’t recommend long story short

    Excellent Controller so far. I hope it lives up to its reputation. I'm an avid gamer and have gone through many controllers. So far this is up there, however I think I preferred the arrow Dpad buttons.
