PC Master Race

I got one in the first wave.

The control sticks are solid. Very accurate and without any drift. I prefer the symmetrical layout over the xbox controller's design. It may be a bit large for people with tiny hands though.

The rear buttons are nice, this is my first controller which has them. They sit right under your ring and middle finger's first knuckle so activating them is as easy as just squeezing the controller. They have a high enough actuation force that you won't accidentality press them.

The haptics is the first thing that I noticed. The controller's sounds (start up and shut down) are made using the haptics, not a speaker. When you're using the track pad the haptics create a... texture. It's kind of like you're running your finger over a slightly raised grid, I'm not sure that it improves anything but it's a nice feel. You can also press down on the trackpad like the thumbsticks and it 'clicks', except the trackpad doesn't actually move and the click is simulated with the haptic motors. It fooled me for a few days until a friend told me what it was doing.

The gyro is accurate. I don't play too many games that use it, nor use the exotic control schemes that do... but it was fun to use in Subnautica 2.

The plastic texture is nice, I'd describe it as aggressively matte. It adds a bit more friction to the surface so if you get sweaty hands you don't have to worry about it sliding in your grip.

The battery life is great. I've used it, casually, multiple days in a row without charging and when you do need to charge the puck jumps up and magnets into place perfectly as soon as you waive the controller in it's vicinity.

The box it came in is also really nice. It's made of pretty thick cardboard and has a form-fit recess for the controller. I was planning on 3d printing a stand to hold it but the box works perfectly.

It's nothing life changing, but it's a solidly built and designed product and well worth the cost.
