It is a very good controller, but it has its quirks and may not be for everyone.
The D-Pad is quite good, not like Sony or Xbox Series good, but good overall. If you press on the borders to the right or the left while pressing down on the D-Pad, it detects a left-down or right-down push, and it is the same for every side, this is one of the quirks I mentioned before.
The analog sticks are very good, they have a good sensibility and are perfect for aiming and driving. (Tested on Gran Turismo 5)
One important thing to notice is the L2-R2 are very sensitive, and if you have heavy grip on a controller, you might get accidental presses on these only by resting your fingers on them, fortunately with my grip I do not have this problem.
It turns off after a bit of inactivity which helps save battery (this happened to me a lot during cutscenes in MGS) but syncing is INSTANT, you press the Home button and boom, you're playing and turning it off is also instant (which is much appreciated).
Compared to the DualShock3 and the Xbox Series X this controller is light, and some people might hold it and think it is a cheap controller, but the texture on the plastic is very premium and also has texture in it for better grip.
Battery duration is great, I still haven't had to charge it and I've been playing for hours with it (probably due to it turning itself off during cutscenes and saving battery)
For PlayStation fans, this is it.
Only downside for me is pressure sensitivity for the triggers. They are either on, or off like a button or switch. At least playing racing games like Tourist Trophy or GT4; if you have the controller mapped for acceleration and braking on the triggers, they will not react in an analog way. It will be full gas or full brake. Which makes it tough for racing games.
I not sure on the other buttons as far as pressure sensitivity, but all other games not needing something like that would work flawless; and will buy a couple more for multiplayer games.
In the meantime I might try the 8BITDO adapter to see if my PS3 controllers can do pressure sensitivity using that.
Overall, good controller just not pressure sensitive triggers.
Now you do get a 1 year warranty when you buy the controller but they won't accept it. When I mentioned my controller was defected they did absolutely nothing.
I eventually got Amazon to give me a refund but at the cost of two and half days of headaches.
Now the controller itself does feel pretty good from the little time I played with it. So if you do want to risk and get the controller don't buy it on Amazon where the seller won't help you at all. Buy it from a game store or anywhere where you are guaranteed you would get a refund. Because (at least on here) they won't even attempt to honor the warranty on here.
Or better yet buy a different brand of controller.
