This controller is easily one of the best I've used, and has been my go-to ever since I bought it. The plastic feels great to the touch, the buttons are all satisfying to press, and the joysticks feel great too. I love the two programmable back buttons, I usually have them set to A and B which works for most games, and you can set 3 different profiles on the controller in case a specific game uses different buttons more often.
The Ultimate Software is feature rich and detailed, allowing you to remap all the buttons, set joystick deadzones, and even the triggers can have deadzones applied if you want to. I especially like the turbo setting for games that want you to repeatedly tap an input, and it's super to set on the fly. Just hold the button you want to turbo and press the middle "Star" button and you're set. The LED ring on the front will even blink repeatedly to let you know that you have Turbo enabled, which is great and something pther controllers don't do.
By far my favorite feature is the included dock, I wish every controller had this included. The dock has a compartment on the bottom for the 2.4ghz adapter and a passthrough design so you can plug the dock into your computer and be connected to your pc whenever you need it. When you're gonna play, just pick up the controller and it instantly turns on and connects to your pc, and when you're done just pop it back on the dock and the controller will automatically turn off and start charging. It even has a slim white LED along the bottom of the dock to show you the charging status. Seriously, this one feature alone is a major selling point, I can't overstate how convenient and easy to use this controller is.
