Cons: To use the mapping software, I had to set the text size to 100%. Windows 11 had it set to 150%, and this puts the window off the bottom of the screen. There are no scroll bars. No battery indicator. I have to remember to plug it in every few days. I'm not sure how long it will go between charges. Pros: The mapping software works well, and you can map every button. I have swapped the X/Y and A/B pairs because that's what I am used to for my old DS4 controller in Steam. You can set up to four profiles, each with a different mapping. It supports macros but I am not using any. User-replaceable battery. Claims to be able to use a pair of AAs but I haven't tried. Nicely placed back buttons. I have them mapped to the joystick press buttons (I find pressing down on the sticks to be a distraction). Haptics work very well, just as well as the DS4. Gyros also work very well. Very accurate. The price can't be beat. I wasn't expecting such a good controller for what they ask. Other: I have the selection switch in "S" mode, which is not what they recommend for Windows, but it seems to work best for me. I'm using this with an ASUS BT 5.0 USB device. Never tried wired mode.

It feels amazing to use I’ve had zero issues connecting it to my PC and phone i havent tried to connect it to my switch just yet but I imagine it would be seamless and easy, Ive used the SN30 Pro which is the same form factor minus the handles and even that felt great in my hands so I couldn’t resist buying the standard controller form.
