What reviewers say

Reviewers find it comfortable once the vertical grip is learned, with good build quality, flexible wireless connections and long battery life; PC Gamer found it noticeably reduced wrist strain. The common criticisms are its bulky shape, poor for small hands and travel; TechRadar found it expensive with nowhere to store the receiver, and PC Gamer found the thumb buttons awkward.
