Extremely disappointed with the PDP and what they have done with this controller. I've had 3 of these controllers over the years. The first two times I got them, in 2017, the controllers were awesome and felt great. Strong joystick grip, responsive buttons. Nothing about it seemed cheap, and $28 was a great value.

Pros
  • Built in headset/communicator jack
Cons
  • No

I contacted the company, filled out the warranty form and they sent me a shipping label to send the controller back for replacement. The replacement came within a

Pros
  • SmartTrack technology adjusts the analog stick's tracking range to the optimal level, improving accuracy and response time.
Cons
