Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

The controller doesn't have its own rechargeable battery, so it's noticeably lighter than the nintendo pro controller. That comes at the removal of the rumble part of the controller, which also makes it feel lighter and cheaper. It has two programmabl... Read More
