Honest about its price, but its sticks wear out fast. The Nova Lite is cheaper and lasts longer.

Feeling the controller in my hands, to me it feels really lightweight, easy to hold, and I can-- for me, I can reach every button easily.

I love the texture. The blue really pops with that chrome gold right there. There you have the input for the mic. You are going to have the two paddles, which you can program. Um But yeah, it's feels pretty good, pretty smooth. It's a beautiful looking controller and of course pretty affordable as well. Again, remember this is a wired controller, so you can only use it with the wire here.
