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.

    Attempted to purchase a “Like New” used controller but the controller was in terrible condition. Unlikely somebody actually inspected it before determining it’s “like new” condition.

    Worst controller I have ever purchased

    Worst controller I have ever purchased. The magnet for the analog sticks is extremely loose so the analog sticks contantly fly off on games that require quick movement and are geared towards more competitve players. How hard would it be to add in a twist lock for the analog sticks? Paying $200 for an overhyped controller.

    Paid for a brand new in the box controller and pretty sure I got an open box or someone’s return because the paddles were already on the controller when I opened the packaging. Pretty sure I’m the one that is supposed to put on the paddles. Plus the left thumb stick had some residue around the inner ring
