    My daughter wanted a custom controller, but didn't want to spend the big bucks. This alternative color variation did the trick for her- she loved it!

    Great controller. Like many have said it’s just not reinventing the wheel but is an improvement. Better D-Pad. Better grip. Will add, not many reviews have mentioned this that the bumper buttons are way better. Bought it to use with an Xbox one X. Definitely recommend.

    Grabbed this up because i keep having my controllers get broken so i figured the cheapest one is a good value proposition since i need to buy a new one every six to twelve months.

    I’m a relatively causal gamer and didnt see the need for the super high end $150 controller. This was slightly on sale and works great for my needs.

    The controller was sized and shaped good, I play Warzone and needed a replacement controller. I didn't realize the controller needed a type C usb but my battery back has a built in usb port so that's not a problem. The sticks did feel a little on the loose side, but not crazy loose. After a while of playing I did notice a drift in my controllers right stick (the aiming stick in COD) so I had to turn up my deadzone thank you for fps's making that setting.

    When playing xbox pc games, the keyboard is sometimes very uncomfortable. All problems were solved with this controller. This is the secret to leveling up.

    Great grip. Buttons seem a little loud but nothing abnormal for a standard controller. Also would love if the colors extended to the back of the controller as well
