    I bought this for PC gaming and am happy with my purchase. Comfortable design and textured grips, triggers, and bumpers. Had to look up how to connect it, but that’s normal and it wasn’t a hard process. Price seems like it could be lower though.

    Blue color does make it harder to find in the dark. Still has boomerang type aerodynamics when it slips out of your hand. Battery does seem to fall out if it takes flight.

    Given how pricey first-party game controllers have become in the past few years, the Black Friday Week price at Best Buy was very good. Shipping was quick, but padding could have been a bit better. Looking forward to setting it up and using it.
