    I was satisfied overall but one of the buttons(left up) started to not working after less than a year! and I'm not a "gamer" which means I might used this controller for like 10-15 hours each week. Fortunately I had protection plan on it and I could return it but now this item is sold out and I can't order a new one!

    Holds up great, if taking care of. Best in my opinion for back paddles. I personally recommend the scuff paddles for this controler.

    Definitely hard to use when you are not used to the back buttons. It's heavier and has nice grip textures.
