    This was a Christmas gift for our 12 year old son. He loves it, it’s heavy and bottom work smooth.

    I hesitated for the longest time as whether to pick this up since, yes, it is a bit pricey. However, I have no regrets having owned now for several months. Very premium feel to it from the grips, buttons, triggers...just all around. I have had family members who have gone on to buy it after having used mine. Quality also feels solid so I'm hoping it will give me a few years of usage!

    seems sturdy, grip seems better, it is expensive though and internal battery only will likely break later. Beware.

    I was super stoked to get this controller because I enjoy using paddles on my controller. However, I've only had it for about 3 months and the left bumper has already failed me. It has stopped working completely. Would not recommend it for an avid competitive player.

    Purchased an open box controller and very happy with it. Only gripe i have is the charging case doesnt work as well as i would like but its not an issue i would remove a star over. Charges great through the controller and all the different sticks and d pad are easy to swap out and use.
