    The paddles can be a bit stiff, but if you’re trying to take your FPS play to the next level or just looking for a better built controller, this one fits the bill. The top two paddles can be especially stiff. The rest of the controller and it’s features are very nice and you can edit the settings and presets of the controller very quickly while in-game.

    Always replace his controllers at Best Buy. If there's not one at our store (only once in 15 years) they get one from a nearby store for me right away. Hubby likes this one because it's meant to go with his PS5 and isn't a knock off.

    So far it's been fairly decent for it's price. however there has been a few issues with "A" and "Y" buttons not responding properly, I may have gotten a defective.. But otherwise it's been great with the amount of customization right out of the box.
