    Best third party controller, with a minor flaw.

    In terms of features, this controller comes packed with more than your standard controller. Having the two back buttons is a plus but the downside comes in the form gameplay. The right stick curve is very off, giving it the raw feel of another cheap third-party controller. It can't match the regular controller in the aspect. If the game you play allows you to customize that, then you can emulate that feel but if not you're kinda just stuck with it. If you're not that good or just need something to get you by, perfect controller.

    Controller is super lightweight. And has worked great since purchased. Haven’t used any of the remappable button features or the Turle beach headset options because my headset is wireless. For the price this controller suites all of my needs.

    Have to often remap the paddles, takes some time. Also found out this brand isn't recognized automatically or with drivers on macOS, only windows.

    Didnt Last a Year

    Liked the controller at first, a bit small but not "too small". The buttons are below average but passable, the sticks are similar, i didnt find much use for the extra buttons and the headset jack would randomly make the worst high pitched screeching noise imaginable. I used multiple different headsets with the same outcome. Within 7 months the port for the cable became so loose that any movement at all and the controller would disconnect. Take 30 seconds to start back up. Thankfully i purchased the 2 year replacement plan. UNFORTUNATELY the controller was no longer in stock anywhere so only received store credit in return. Wouldnt recommend, get a Gamesir if you want a cheap controller.

    Great product. Worked flawlessly. It was dropped twice in the first month and now does not work. While that was my fault, I am surprised it stopped working entirely. I’ve dropped Official Wireless Xbox controllers hundreds of times and they never ever broke. But that doesn’t affect my initial pleasure. 5/5

    I got this at a discount of 40 bucks, it was really good. Has two buttons on the back and the rubber additions on the sides were really comfy. If you dont mind it being wired. Then you should get this one when it's on sale. Better than the normal xbox controller

    I wanted a corded controller for my PC (windows 10 pro, Ryzen 9 5900X, AMD Radeon 6900XT) to play certain games i have in my game libraries that are more conducive to using controllers. The controller feels solid, the USB-C cable is nice and long, there was no additional required software, and the controls are responsive and have a good tactile feel. My only complaint is that it feels too easy to depress the stick and engage the control input for that while maneuvering the sticks, causing unintentional control inputs (this is especially frustrating with Star Wars Squadrons), but that may be my own inexperience causing that.

    It’s just OK for the price point, better than the standard controller. PROS- -super human hearing button makes cheap headset better -it feels like a Xbox controller -bottom controller button assignment CONS- -mixing the game and chat volumes gets wonky at times, like the levels get lost in each other -it randomly just drops microphone audio and randomly resumes -Bumber buttons are to recessed and required double tapping to engage -just after 3 weeks of use, I have stick drift already, this is probably most disappointing So over all not bad, stick drift and wear out to no longer return to center position biggest concern, that means my controller is already on the way out in less than a month of daily usage

    This controller is the best controller for $59.99! The features you receive make this controller very worth it. You get pro-aim, an equalizer, mute/volume buttons, two paddle buttons, and cooling grips. I use controllers on PC and was surprised to see a Turtle Beach app to update the firmware (full PC compatibility).

    I was extremely happy with this product until I found out how fast it gets the controller drift! No wonder it was on a crazy sale when I bought it. But It goes with my PC so I mostly still use it for decoration.

    For the money it’s beyond great. Many features packed in including a pre amp in the controller to boost sound. Also has an equalizer. If you want to use these features you’ll need a wired headset with a 3.5 mm connection
