Customers are saying

Customers express satisfaction with the product's great overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options, along with its comfortable feel and good weight. However, a significant concern among users is the prevalence of stick drift and issues with button quality, particularly with the bumpers and A button. The price is also a point of hesitation for some.

    Nice looking controller. Has a lot more weight than the standard controller. Love all of the adjustments (e.g. hair triggers, button customizations, paddles etc), love the textured grip. The problem is that the “A” button was sticking immediately on day 1. I expect better at this price point.

    Great controller over original. This one is a rechargeable remote and can be recharged while in the case via a pass through hole for the cable.

    This was also a Birthday gift to my son and he LOVES IT! Just uses it for certain games,just because he wants to keep it as perfect as it came, so he interchanges it with the one that came with the series x.

    Sure it is expensive but if you plan on using it for a lot or for a long period of time then it is worth it. It just feels better than the standard controllers and I believe it gives more control during gameplay.

    Great remote. Very sensitive and the joysticks feel great. Only complaint is that the buttons underneath the remote get pressed when handling the controller at times.

    By far the best controller you can use for Xbox, also compatible with PC and fully programmable on both systems. Built in battery is a perk and carrying/ charging case is great for storing and keeping ready to go.

    my boyfriend really likes this controller, it’s the second he’s gotten after the first one broke because he stepped on it accidentally not because the product breaks easily.

    So far so good. Upgraded from a PS Scuf Vantage 2. The controller is noticeably smaller but feels great when in your hands. It may be a little heavy compared to what I was using.
