So far I've used the controller even more than my pro controller (mainly for Smash), the controller is lighter but it's ok I am impressed with the build quality and design, it's not at all like a $20 controller. In the picture you can compare the dimensions with the Pro, I prefer the grip of this controller especially if you have small hands. For the price, this controller is excellent value for money. .I haven't had any problems so far, I hope it stays that way for a long time. (I can't comment on the battery life as I have a habit of always plugging things in to charge after use.)
