    Grip on sides feels great worth the extra ten dollars, the A button registers incorrectly out of the box but is still functional.

    Overall, not that great. Costs the same as PS5 controllers which is rechargeable. This controller you have to buy separate rechargeable batteries or just buy double A batteries forever. Also, as far as function and feel, not as good as the PS5 controller in some ways, and not quite as good as even the 360 controller as far as ergonomics. However, it's a solid controller that works well and the lag is negligible.
