Reviews
I love how the buttons feel right when I swap them for different games. The sticks move so smoothly now and the extra paddles help me react faster in action titles. Battery lasts through my whole weekend of play without any issues.
The controller connects quickly to my Switch and PC. Triggers have a nice adjustable feel that works well for racing and shooters. It sits comfortably in my hands even after several hours and the dock charges it fast.
Gyro controls respond nicely on Steam games and the vibration adds good feedback. I enjoy the classic look but wish the battery lasted a bit longer during heavy sessions. Still a solid pick for multi-platform gaming.
