Too thick plastic. Blocks the full range of the analog stick. It also doesn't snap into place like it should. It's basically a cheap plastic shell that only really "protects" the pens, as it's exposed around the D-Pad, trackpad, and face buttons. Clear silicone might be the best option if you still want to see the PS5 controller. It's beautiful, it's a shame it's just poorly made. There's also those weird 3 meter bands that look like etchings on the sides of the controller. I don't know what they are for but their eyes hurt.
