Customers are saying

Customers consistently note the product's great overall performance, excellent battery life, and extensive customization options. They frequently praise its comfortable feel, good weight, and comfortable grip. However, a significant concern raised by users is the issue of stick drift, which appears to develop quickly. Additionally, some customers have experienced problems with button quality and found the price to be a point of hesitation.

    Left bumper failing after 7 months

    Best controller I’ve owned by far. Worth the price, BUT 7 months in after medium use (~500 hours?) and the left bumper is becoming inconsistent. It registers a press ~75% of the time and I expect it to keep getting worse. I looked it up and this seems to be a common issue unfortunately. I would expect better longevity for the price you pay.
