    Not much to say here. It's an excellent, if pricey controller. I'm using it for gaming on my phone mostly, but it works great on my laptop as well for the two games that I use it with.

    They really impressed me with the construction of this controller. Seems heavier and better built than other years-but not so heavy that It’s tiresome holding it. It has all the bells and whistles needed to shoot down all the bad guys- to My kids love it!

    Best Controller I have ever owned

    The title says it all... although this was a little more than I planed on paying for a controller I do not regret the purchase one bit. The only slight complaint is that it is pretty heavy and you start to notice during longer gaming sessions. The weight speaks to the quality of the build it does not feel like a cheap piece of plastic in your hands. I use it for gaming on my PC, getting it initially configured was a breeze and I have had zero issues with reconnecting or any issues with disconnects either. Love it!
