Customers are saying

Customers consistently note the product's great overall performance, excellent battery life, and extensive customization options. They frequently praise its comfortable feel, good weight, and comfortable grip. However, a significant concern raised by users is the issue of stick drift, which appears to develop quickly. Additionally, some customers have experienced problems with button quality and found the price to be a point of hesitation.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

    Its such a nice high quality controller. The only thing I dont like is the Dpad. Not ideal at all for fighting games. But very customizable and great for casual games otherwise.

    I bought this for my husband and i made sure i bought the product protection for it since my husband does play and uses it alot. He enjoys it. However with all the usage the buttons were not working properly anymore . We went to best buy and were able to get a replacement free of charge because we had the protection on it.

    Great upgrade to the basic controller, all the parts are easy to change and swap out. Puls the case can store the extra parts and charges the controller, no more having to plug it in just place it in and its spot and it starts to charge

    This controller has withstood my wrath thus far, only downside is if your motherboard is a certain age the USB Bluetooth adapter for Xbox controllers becomes necessary. Otherwise, if you're playing wired then you're good to go

    I’ve really enjoyed this controller so far. The quick customization to your game play style for any game in just seconds by switching parts and profiles makes the user experience that much nicer. The controller is well built and very customizable. Also really enjoy the charger and case.
