just want to throw my two cent in . this controller quickly become my favorite once I purchase it . it feel awesome , the dpad be better , the brush paint sort of absorb sweat and do not get slippery like other controller , and it look awesome with the muted color gray button . major downside : the dpad break on mine only like 5 month into own the controller . lamest part be that this be not a isolate incident . it be a known problem , and if you be unlucky like I and it break out of warranty -lrb- after 90 day -rrb- m$ will not help at all . I mean at all . I call and pull out all the stop - `` I want to talk to the manager '' , `` I have be a customer for 10 year '' , etc. etc. . nothing . I be not exactly hard on controller and mine snapped just below the surface . now im out 60 buck . do not make this mistake and buy the controller just for the Dpad transforming . if you do get it , just do not mess with the Dpad . keep it in the `` whole '' position as much as possible .
