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.

    The controller looks and feels great, but the right stick experiences drift to the left within the first 2 weeks of use. For this price range, I expected better reliability.

    The rubber grips on this control will peel off over time. This is a known issue that has affected both iterations of this control. Be aware of this potential problem before purchasing.
