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.

Mehhhh!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this for pc and after trading it in twice the bluetooth on both doesnt work. they want you to shell out more money for the adapter which is ridiculous for a $200 controller. the weight is great although i wish it was slightly larger for my hands. if you do purchase get the warranty!

BUY THE WARRANTY. You'll need it
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.BUY THE WARRANTY. I've gone through 3 of these controllers in the last year now because inevitably something breaks on it within 5 or 6 months. My first one i got had issues with the right and left bumpers, so i exchanged it and the next one has issues with the left stick and now the one ive had for only 5 months won't register when i push up on the left stick and sometimes doesnt register the left bumper. Its a real bummer cause these controllers feel and look sturdy and i love having paddles for more tactical gameplay but they nevee last. Now I'm out $200 cause on my third purchass i didnt get the warranty.

Qc
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Feels good but not reliable. Had to exchange on before 24 hours left stick broke with light use and second exchange had a bad drift out the box. Unfortunate because when it does work fine its great but poorly put together

The best controller you can buy
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Yes the price is a little high but the customization features are great! Plus the fact that it has a removable charging dock in the case is really nice. I read some reviews that say this product isn't very durable. I will say when I received it some of the plastic pieces need to be popped back in. But so far no issues, at the end of the day you should always buy the Best Buy warranty for controllers and electronics.

It was Incredible for a Moment
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This controller was everything I wished it would be. So incredibly nice and the battery lasted forever. All the added features and materials were fantastic. Only problem was I had to replace it several times all for different problems so I eventually returned it and got my money back.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Not bad
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Decent. On par with the first generation if you set aside the defective units. I wish it had a little more grippiness. The paddles don't stick out as much on this one. For the price, when it's on sale, I'd say this a very good deal. If you move up to a "better" controller you're going to be paying twice as much.
