    These controllers are the best. Very little hand fatigue no matter how long you’re playing.. but this is a big butt not the most durable so make sure you get the warranty. Stick drift galore

    It's a great controller that lasts a long time. I mostly play Rocket League and it's tough for a right or left bumper to survive, but the buttons remain crisp.
