    It is very overpriced, but being able to remap the controller is very helpful (especially for games like Call of Duty where you can't look around while putting in your armor without remapping the buttons)

    my son had the older version. He absolutely loves this one. Says it works much better and is heavier which gives you more control.

    This is honestly the best controller I’ve ever had by far. The joysticks are replaceable and also have tension adjustments. 4 back buttons come in handy when you're trying to do some extra moves when gaming. The only issue I’ve had with 2 different controllers. The RB button seems to be giving out. And this is 2 different controller. I’ve owned this one less that three months and I can see the response missing sometimes. Reliability is important. I’m glad I got the replacement plan cause I’m going to trade this out soon
