While some users reported issues with button wear and stick drift over time, the positive feedback on the controller's features outweighs these concerns. The vibrant color options are also frequently praised.

    This is the coolest looking controller that I (maybe) have ever seen. I liked it so much, I've also looked into the possibility of purchasing a wireless controller, that looks the same. I give it two thumbs up.

    I wish the cable were permanently attached to the controller. My kids love to steal each others cables and claim them as thier own.
