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.

    Excellent Controller so far. I hope it lives up to its reputation. I'm an avid gamer and have gone through many controllers. So far this is up there, however I think I preferred the arrow Dpad buttons.

    So many things you can do with this controller that makes it so much better than a regular controller but the stick drift is still there. Wouldn’t recommend long story short

    Despite the drift you may or may not get with analog sensors; this is still the best pro controller you can use. Very premium feeling and thumbstick tension is great when you dial it in.

    At first I wasn’t used to the controls but as soon as I got adjusted it was the best. I can’t see myself go back to the original now.

    Purchased an open box controller and very happy with it. Only gripe i have is the charging case doesnt work as well as i would like but its not an issue i would remove a star over. Charges great through the controller and all the different sticks and d pad are easy to swap out and use.

    I hesitated for the longest time as whether to pick this up since, yes, it is a bit pricey. However, I have no regrets having owned now for several months. Very premium feel to it from the grips, buttons, triggers...just all around. I have had family members who have gone on to buy it after having used mine. Quality also feels solid so I'm hoping it will give me a few years of usage!

    This was a Christmas gift for our 12 year old son. He loves it, it’s heavy and bottom work smooth.

    I was super stoked to get this controller because I enjoy using paddles on my controller. However, I've only had it for about 3 months and the left bumper has already failed me. It has stopped working completely. Would not recommend it for an avid competitive player.
