Good not Great
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.while the controller is an amazing product the durability of the product is lacking a bit, the bumper button for my controller went out so I was thankful that I had a total tech membership to help me replace the item whennit started to fail. it is a lot of money to spend for a controller but the added bonus of everything it offers over a standard controller is worth it. heres hoping the next version is better quality.

Amazing
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Definitely was a wait to get this controller but it’s so comfortable and amazing to the feel. You can adjust the thumb sticks with a tool and it feels like the original controller or 360. Think it’s also cool it’s rechargeable already included and the case is super nice.

BUY THE WARRANTY BECAUSE OF STICK DRIFT
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s heavy compared to the rest of the newer gen controllers. But the stick drift is unreal. Whatever you do, make sure to purchase the warranty if you buy this controller!
