    Overall, this controller feels great. The D-pad, adjustable sticks and triggers and rear triggers all give it a very personalized feel. But after reading all the reviews on how good the 'mechanical' XYAB buttons feel, imagine my surprise when they feel super generic and they even get stuck. I haven't spilled or had anything on my hands...fresh out of the box a $200 controller has buttons that stick... If this is just an anomaly and I get a replacement that doesn't do this I would gladly give this 5 stars, but as it is I can't tell you how many times I have died due to this issue.

    Had to return the controller after I found one of the paddles wasn't functioning. This was not fun to deal with of course, but the exchange process was easy, and the controller feels great to use for console gaming!
