    Feels great in your hands and got a nice weight to it. Grips are comfortable. The only thing that's my con is the little switches that controll the triggers sensitivity have rubbed off. They still work but feels like little needles when trying to adjust them

    Great controller, love that you can get it without the extra buttons but then have the option to add those later. Also love that you can change the color of the light behind the home button.

    Works well with the paddles. The black grips just dont work so well when your hands warm up and get a little sweaty. Hands start to slip. It like those hard rubbers that you cant really grip too good.
