Customers are saying

Customers are pleased with the product's great overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options. They also frequently praise its comfortable grip, good weight, and responsive feel. However, a significant number of customers have reported issues with stick drift developing quickly and concerns regarding the durability of the buttons, including the bumpers. Despite some initial hesitation about the price, the positive attributes like its overall comfort and useful paddles generally contribute to a positive user experience.

    This is the best controller i've used to date. The back pedals are a game changer for shooters. Can't go back to a normal controller now.

    This controller was great for about 5-6 months. From then on, the left bumper, left joystick, and right trigger all started showing signs of ware at an increasing rate. Thankfully, I purchased the 2-year warranty :-P

    Excellent controller. Great for Monster hunter world. Slow when using Bluetooth but I use it wired. Expensive but worth the price.

    It would be 5 stars but light taps to the Y button wouldn’t register 50% of the time, and my store told me to talk to MS about the problem.
