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.

    Good as long as it holds up. The Gen 1 version of this controller broke every 3-6 months. Bumpers and buttons would literally fall off. I replaced it with this one, and the first one out of box had a bad thumbstick. The second one, which I'm now using seems solid. Feels great to use but the durability leaves a lot to be desired.
