    Not much different than the previous gen besides the share button tacked on, but the textured grips feel really nice and I haven’t had any problems with the redesigned d pad which is nice.

    I don’t think it’s for every controller in this series, but initially (and still occasionally) there’s a weird high pitched static that you can hear from the light of the controller, and if you use a headset there’s a weird static that your mic picks up too. Still cool though, despite my left joystick getting a type of drift I’ve never had before.
