Customers are saying

Customers are delighted by the controller's exceptional overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options. Users also frequently praise the device's comfortable grip, balanced weight, and high-quality tactile feel. However, some customers have expressed concerns regarding the durability of the buttons and bumpers, as well as the early onset of stick drift. Despite these technical frustrations and the premium price point, many still consider it a top-tier gaming accessory.

    Great Little controller. FYI, make sure you buy new, not "open box", one had to be returned because of faulty left thumbstick.

    Didn’t take long at all to develop stick drift. And I’m not even a heavy gamer either. Wouldn’t recommend at that price.

    Had the first one and it broke way quick due to heavy amounts of gaming. So far so good on this one. The grips are much better as well.
