## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really nice controller
*by A***N on 13 January 2025*

Not had it a great deal of time, about a week, so can't speak for the longevity of it, I'll update my review if I have any issues, but so far, very happy with it. Feels good and chunky in the hands, might be a little too chunky for some folks but perfect for my big hands, nice smooth premium feeling plastic and the grips feel great. Got some paddles with it, not sure about those. I use them in calm parts of a game but tend to revert back to the buttons during a fight. Also they seem to hurt my tendons up my arms and fingers, but not sure if that's just me (I'm getting on a bit these days!). I can't see me using the paddles long term to be honest, but I'll persevere; I like the idea of them.Battery life is good, thumbsticks feel great, might buy some bigger ones at some point, see if they make a difference. All in all, very pleased. Expensive, but not insanely so (have you seen the price of the PS equivalent? 😳) Glad I splurged.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant customisation and variability for a controller.
*by H***� on 2 February 2025*

👍To start off these controllers look incredible the white set against the black make this controller look really good.I have both the all black and the white/black and to me the white/black really do look much more impressive.They fit really well in my hands, the textured palm holds give a comfortable secure hold when lightly held and the weight is heavier than original controllers but not uncomfortable.The interchangeable thumb sticks, Dpad and extra customisable switches at the rear give more control over your own personal preferences meaning you can adjust this controller in a whole range of ways without ever having to purchase a brand new controller.The battery life is also really good however when battery is low in the middle of a game, the extra long charging cable will not distract you from what ever your ideal gaming position/distance is from your screen.Really impressive all round controller with great variability/interchangeability and a premium feel I have not been disappointed.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best so far
*by M***K on 7 June 2025*

This is bar far the best controller I have had for the Xbox, the weight, balance feel and grip makes this a pleasure when game playing, with the addition of the customisation, profile settings makes this a must.
