    This controller would be 10/10 if it was built better. Bumpers fall off easy and get stuck all the time.

    I love the controller and it is the only one I use. My only complaint is that the battery design is different and does not sit on my charger. Something to check if this is a problem for you.

    Overall this controller is very nice and makes gaming better. My one issue is that the rear paddles are a bit too sensitive and will engage with the slightest touch.
