Trust the technology enthusiast, or rather the price-conscious technology enthusiast. you need this! There is simply no need to buy a professional controller. This thing is amazing, responsive, durable and feels great in my (big but not the biggest) hands. I wouldn't buy anything cheaper, but there's no point in spending a penny more. To be honest I will buy all my controllers for various systems from this company in the future. Just ignore the included instructions, enter a YouTube name for a 30 second video to show you how to hook it up if you're like me and have never had an off switch.
