    Super cute when it’s plugged in but my daughter will be returning this. Supposedly while playing Fortnite there is a lag with this controller that she doesn’t like. If you’re a serious gamer you might want to stay away.

    Lasted 4 Months had to exchange under warranty for 40.00$ I think it should of lasted longer. Also the PDP software won't pick up the controller when plugged in.

    Just like the other PDP controller I bought the tacky glue like feeling is a major issue that I never experienced in any other controller. After maybe 30 min the grip of the controller becomes tacky and uncomfortable. Ease of use doesn't matter if you fell uncomfortable holding the controller

    Major controller drift. Wore out in less than a year. When it worked, it was like liquid glass it was so smooth, in an fps - just lovely. Maybe this was a freak situation, but a controller, even with heavy usage, should easily outlast a year.

    I have found after having purchased 2 of these controllers, that the buttons tend to stick after a weeks use. The stick buttons also tend to give out fairly quick and leave the controller unusable. The LED feature is cool, but the operability is very short

    Got this for my son. He has an Xbox one s. He can’t use it with a headset and microphone. You plug it in and the sound is muffled on both ends. Switched controllers to confirm it wasn’t the headrest and it was in fact just the controller.

    Really cool light settings and worked great for a month, but then the X-button slowly started sticking tonight until it got stuck completely down and won't come back up.
