Customers are saying

Customers enjoy the overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options offered by this controller. Users frequently highlight the comfortable grip, balanced weight, and high-quality feel during gameplay. However, some customers have expressed concerns regarding the long-term durability of the buttons and the potential for stick drift. Additionally, while many appreciate the design, some find the premium price point and specific bumper functionality to be areas for improvement.

    Controller works great for about a year or so depending on how ruff you are with the sticks. That’s about the only issue I’ve had. The paddles don’t seam to wear down at all. Get a protection plan

    After having this controller for about 6 months the right bumper messed up. It takes more force to use the right bumper compared to the left which is annoying when playing games that really utilize that bumper. Aside from that great controller

    The controller seems to have a dysfunction on the right joy stick. When I fully rotate I can feel an object keeping it from smoothly rotating 360 degrees.
