    Sometimes I want a weightier, firmer controller. And this thing does the trick. It responds and holds up well when tightly gripping and quickly pressing many inputs in a short period of time. Totally awesome purchase!

    The controller felt and looked amazing. However, my right trigger stuck if pushed all the way down. Returned it, didn’t feel like trying to fix it myself. However i hear that these controllers are very hit and miss.

    Purchased as a birthday gift for my son. He loves it. It is a bit of a learning curve with the additional toggles on the bottom of the controller but a very good purchase.

    Fantastic Controller, Consider Extended Warranty

    Very solid controller, miles better than the original which I still own, the only issue is the Quality Control on this controllers. Mine came with a broken Right Bumper that registers twice, and the sticks have drift. All I have to say is if you're going to be serious about this controller consider the extended warranty for a little more so you can return the controllers for the next 2 years.
