    The controller has a good build quality. The back paddle is a nice for racing/shooting game. However the I noticed my controller A button seems faulty: It has a 30~40% chance miss, my normal XBox Series X controller does not have this issue. I am still in the return window so was able to return it to Bestbuy. I did a Google search and I found I am not only one having this issue, so making sure you have tested the controller buttons before playing.

    This is by far the best controller I have purchased! It has the right amount of weight and the pedals are pure amazing! Its takes a little to get use to it but as soon as you do it all makes sense!

    Great controller. Lots of customization. Get the extra warranty if you get stick drift odds are you will you can just exchange it for a new one.

    My husband absolutely loves this controller. The fact you can customize your controller and it allows the changing of settings with just a button makes it super easy to use.
