    The paddles on the back are nice for shooting games and not having to take your fingers off buttons. However I’ve barely had mine over a month and the left trigger is already stuck and it randomly disconnects while playing. Sometimes the paddles also don’t register when using them. I definitely wouldn’t buy another.

    Purchased this controller and had to return it due to the left trigger not working right out of the box. This was pretty inconvenient because I live pretty far from Best Buy. Once I exchanged this controller, the new one has been flawless.

    Comfortable and good ergonomics. Easy set up. Battery duration could be better. Good thing I got it on sale otherwise I would return it and it wouldn't be worth the regular price.
