Customers are saying

Customers consistently note the product's great overall performance, excellent battery life, and extensive customization options. They frequently praise its comfortable feel, good weight, and comfortable grip. However, a significant concern raised by users is the issue of stick drift, which appears to develop quickly. Additionally, some customers have experienced problems with button quality and found the price to be a point of hesitation.

    Owned for 3 hours before one of the sticks froze entirely and had little to no movement. Exchanged for a blue series and got stick drift inside first 2 days. Utter waste of money. Don’t splurge on this controller, just buy a PlayStation and put Xbox out of business like they should be.
