    It feels good the way it’s designed. One problem I had is I can’t use the same rechargeable battery cover that I use for the other controllers. Had to buy new one because of the different battery cover design.

    These are great remotes. Only reason I give them a 4 out of 4 is due to I have to replace them about once a year due to them drifting.

    Looks = 5stars The left joystick dies not smoothly move when pushed all the way forward so that was a let down. It catches and squeaks which will throw off whatever you are doing.
