    Excellent quality, the design around the buttons on the front are really well done, and the texture of the rubber on the grips feel great. The triggers are clear as well, may be one of the coolest collector controllers I've seen yet. Way better than just a different paint job.

    Love the the design and color patern. Matches great with my other controllers. Awesome flexibility/compatibility between consoles, phone, and PC usage. Had it on a wish list until I was able to use a special offer to bring the price down. I'm very satisfied.
