    I love this controller. Its very comfortable while using it either playing a game or watching a movie. All around, I am satisfied with this purchase. The only reason i rated it a 4 is because it makes noise when using the jog wheel when playing an intense game. It clicks as rocking the 2 jog wheels back and forth. All around good purchase.

    Great controller, feels good in bigger hands. Prefer it over switch, Playstation or other after market controllers.
