This controller is well worth every penny. I don’t like spending this much money but after I kept breaking controllers it is well worth the investment. Plus extremely helpful in almost all games with the paddles. I primarily play shooter and sports games. Helps me lean and I have recommended to friends.

I debated getting this for a while based on reviews of it breaking easily. I have only had it for a month so I can't speak to long term quality. Once I got used to the paddles, playing borderlands 3 became much more fluid. No need to stop aiming to reload, change guns, punch or jump.

The standard controller is perfectly adequate, but if you're looking for something that really takes it to an 11. This is it. The thumb sticks and weight really do make a difference. I couldn't get used to the triggers on the bottom but they're removeable so if you like them, you can keep them.
Is it necessary? No. is it nice? YES!

My son asked me for this controller and i’ve only got it for him since he is a good kid and makes excellent grades. He loves it. He says it makes is getting so much better and he is able to fine-tune it specific to his skill. It is a bit pricey, but it looks like it is going to be worth it given his early reviews.

Purchased this unit as a Christmas gift for my grandson who is a serious "gamer". All the reviews say this is a great controller so the verdict is still out until after Christmas.

The ability to customize the feel of the controller gives options for many users. This controller is a big upgrade over everything I have used before. It is made of solid construction and the weight feels just right. I bought this for my son and he and I are both extremely happy with it.

I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is a serious gamer. If you're a casual gamer, then maybe check reviews and check unboxings to see if you want to spend the money

I was shocked by the sticker price for a controller when this one first came out, but after using this I will never buy another. The quality is great! Feels like you're holding something substantial and not just a cheap piece of plastic. The interchangable parts are a nice touch. Really allows you to take control of your controller.

I bought this controller for my step son and i can say he loves it. It enhanced his game play, especially fortnite. He’s already quick when playing but now he's Even faster. I would definitely get on myself but in the ps4 version. Overall, good quality and was impressed with the design.

By far the best controller I've ever owned. The extra paddles help with reaction time and offer more options to certain controls.

takes about a week of struggle to adjust but its well worth it. if you play COD, you know them guys that get shot in the back and jump and boost up and left and right and are on target with their shot and kill you, they probably are using this. i only use two of the paddles but this is the best gaming accessory ive ever used.
