    My son loves the color red so this was the perfect controller for him. Hopefully it will last a while. Did get it on a black friday sale..that’s usually the time to buy these.

    The controller itself is beautiful and solid. Great feel, textured triggers, the works. But it has one drawback. The ********* screenshot button. I LOVE the idea of being able to press a button to record something quickly. But it’s dead center in the controller, which means I often mistakenly press it while reaching up for the select or start buttons. I also randomly hit it throughout play for a multitude of other reasons I wouldn’t have expected. My hard drive is now PACKED with screenshots I never meant to take and I’m literally breaking out my dremel just to saw this horrid little button off. This would be a 5 star controller but for this button. Had it been in a better location or at least not do prominent, same thing. I’ve never had a product with such good quality that I WOULDN’T recommend, but at this point the standard controllers are honestly a less annoying option.
