Customers are saying

Customers express satisfaction with the product's great overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options, along with its comfortable feel and good weight. However, a significant concern among users is the prevalence of stick drift and issues with button quality, particularly with the bumpers and A button. The price is also a point of hesitation for some.

    This is the controller the system should come with. It’s fantastic, although I still find myself preferring the dual sense for its haptics.

    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.

    My only complaint is that it's heavier than standard controllers but it's understandable. Honestly I don't think I can go back to regular controllers.
