    I bought this for PC and I'm pretty thoroughly disappointed. First off, the controller does not stay connected via Bluetooth. It disconnects frequently. I don't have this problem with any other Bluetooth device including other controllers. I have a dedicated BT module and antenna. Second, the controller I received has the annoyingly unresponsive 'A' button. If you hit the button from the wrong angle it just does not work. So even if I wanted to connect the controller via the cable(I don't) it still wouldn't be a good device. Both of these problems are known issues but I thought they might have been fixed with this revision of the controller. Sadly that isn't the case. I'll be returning this. - Windows 10 latest version - Controller firmware updated - Don't have problems with any other Bluetooth devices(including controllers)

    Excellent Controller so far. I hope it lives up to its reputation. I'm an avid gamer and have gone through many controllers. So far this is up there, however I think I preferred the arrow Dpad buttons.

    Recently just used Geek Squad Replacements plan to return this and exchange it with a PS5 controller.. Honestly, this controller was great when it was working. I've gone through a few of these and it's either the bumpers give out or the face buttons stop responding. Unless you absolutely need the paddles, I would avoid purchasing this and get a standard controller instead.

    So many things you can do with this controller that makes it so much better than a regular controller but the stick drift is still there. Wouldn’t recommend long story short
