    The feel and accuracy of buttons and the grips are amazing. Only problem is the clicking and pressing ANY BUTTON is extremely loud and would not be able to play when other ppl in house are sleeping. Yes that loud. Had to return unfortunately. But that is..the only problem

    As title states. It works good but they are making these cheaper and cheaper I think. The stick either get stuck or auto move after only a week. Gamers know what I mean

    I bought the controller Feb. 2025 with a few more things. Put the controller on my Best Buy total membership. Controller stopped working. Dec. 2025 Went back and got store credit instead of my controller back. They said because it’s more expensive. Had to walk out without the product that I paid for. Misleading Best Buy total membership.
