According to CNET gaming expert Scott Stein, this may be his "favorite controller, period." He hailed it for its precise haptics, comfortable design and speedy response time and called it an "essential part of the picture" for Steam gamers looking to expand. It's wireless with a USB transmitter that also doubles as a charging pad, and it has an impressive 35-hour battery life. Just note that it's only compatible with devices running Steam, so you can't use it with your PlayStation, Xbox or Switch.
