Pros: wireless latency, input lag
Cons: trigger smoothness, analog trigger precision
Texturing on the rear grips usually keeps the controller secure during play. A few users wanted a more aggressive surface, but slipping is rarely reported as a serious problem.

The leather rim is generally pleasant, but one long-session review found the thumb-area stitching rough enough to cause soreness without gloves.
Pros: wired performance, accessibility features
Cons: cable length and quality, shifter and handbrake support
