The gamepad is cool, but I can't help feeling that if I use it 24/7, then frequently used keys will stick. If you play several times a week, then consider using the original. The charge holds about 4-5 hours, if anything you can play with the wire and there will be no significant problems. Has some pros: Almost indistinguishable from the original has been working great for 2 months now (although I don't play with it every day) It connects perfectly to the PC both wirelessly and with a wired method. Some cons: On the computer, the sound output is switched to the gamepad, which is easily fixed through the settings (Settings -> System -> Sound -> Select an output device) I don’t know where it’s convenient to look at the charge indicator, so I play until the gamepad is turned off (the light does not blink when the charge is low, as with the original)
