It seems sense that the original gamepad is identical to the one that comes packaged together with the console; otherwise, that would be unusual. Regarding the assembly, there are neither inquiries nor complaints heard. Both the vibration and the adaptive triggers worked quite well for me. The change is seen in games such as FIFA 21 and Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart. The ASTRO Playroom built-in game offers the most impressive display of the capabilities of the gamepad by a wide margin. I purchased it as a replacement for my existing PlayStation 5 system. Because there is no cord included, I would suggest getting a charging station in addition to this item.
