It's amazing, not only for the money, but because of all of the features it includes (MagLev motors for rumble, the ultra low latency it gives you with their dongle, the spectacular Hall Effect joysticks, the gyroscope, etc).
It feels good in your hands, and if one of your face buttons is not up to your standards, you can replace not only the face button, but also the switch behind it.
You need to calibrate it out of the box if you see that it's acting up, you may also need to update it with the latest firmware (It's kinda weird to install it but it's easy once you read the instructions).
I wish the battery was a little bigger, but honestly if you turn the RGB off, it works as intended and it will last you a long time.

José GarcíaThe ultimate gaming controller for under 100 dollars
Gabriel MillerI like it, but not very repair friendly

Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2024
I've taken apart many Xbox controllers in my day, and I've done so without guides. This controller is one you basically need one for. However, when I purchased mine when it first came out there was no guides online and being curious on just how modular the controller was. I regret it every step of the way.
The first time I opened it up I was actually able to put in Xbox One Elite v1 sticks in there. You will have to calibrate your sticks since the magnets in the Elite thumbsticks mess with the triggers at certain angles. But they've worked flawless since I've put them in. However you cannot put in the Elite D-Pad, I've tried and I've 3D printed adapters to try and get them to work. No luck so far, but with how frustrating taking this controller apart and putting it back together again I don't think I'll get a working adapter going working.
IF YOU TAKE THIS THING APART to either swap the buttons or just to take it apart. Look at my third image, there is a spring that attaches to the trigger to the bumper. You have to take the triggers off to get to the thumbstick and the X and Y buttons. The spring WILL SHOOT OFF if you aren't paying attention and they will shoot off if you are. And this spring is up to the gods of luck to get it back in place properly.
I knocked off 2 stars because this controller is not easily repairable. I can take apart ten xbox one controllers fully and put them back together before one of these controllers. Not to mention the only screws that are magnetic are the screws to the shell. Every screw on the insides are not, which makes putting this thing back together again a real pain. Not to mention the heads on the screws are philips heads, and are not machine screws so be careful when you put them back on and try not to strip them.
One more thing that is annoying, this controller does not have any software for it. It's all internal to the controller. Which for consoles or phones is fine, it's cool you can swap buttons in software with only the controller. I use this on PC and it would be really nice if I could assign whatever I like to any button. Since all the Nintendo specific buttons become useless on PC, and having the paddles be assigned to something besides the face buttons would be really cool. At the time of this review there isn't PC software and this could change in the future.
