Solid controller. Worth the price and effort of setting up. To those complaining about the software, maybe consider going to console. It's not difficult to set up and they have a ton of videos up showing you what you need to do step by step. This is probably one of the best controllers I've used. Feel premium and I'm happy I can use it wirelessly or via USB. The headphone jack is also great. ICue software isn't as bad as they say. I actually keep it open while I game to monitor my PC temps. Overall, great buy. Read more
I use this for competitive CoD MWIII and this controller work great after you mess around with the icue software. Trust me the software is a headache, but the controller is worth the hassle at least for me it was. There are videos on YouTube to help adjust the controller to your liking. Out the box it was weird for me i had to adjust the deadzone because the triggers would fire themselves and i had slight stick drift, but all of it was fixed and now i dont notice anything at all.

Don't buy this. The controller itself is nice, well made, light, easy to use. The physical controller is a 10/10 The remainder of this review is why you shouldn't buy the controller. ICUE & Corsair. I've been a sufferer of Corsair's software for about 5 years now. The experience is misery. ICUE is the most broken piece of software I have ever used and has not gotten any better over the years. ICUE is now at the point where a software glitch is keeping the controller from working on several games. My brand new Razer wolverine doesn't have this issue. Again this is a brilliant controller that is held back by Corsair's ineptitude in the field of software design and development. Buy a different controller. You're welcome. And if someone from Corsair is reading this, turn over development of ICUE to another company. You don't know what you're doing and I am not the only one that feels this way. Read more
it's been a week since I bought it as of the writing of this review, the controller arrived well packaged and with care, nothing was open, inside the box the controller itself with extra accessories 2 extra thumb sticks and some side buttons cover. the side buttons are nice for accessibility nicely place but I canceled them because they were interrupting a lot of my gamer play like tossing a nade before time and what not. the controller feels good and very sturdy I kept it in wired connected as I like it, but there's a -USB type- Bluetooth connection for people who prefer wireless, trigger stops are my favorite part of this controller they are firm and very responsive no stick drift yet, but I will update in the future if it happens. the extra buttons on the bottom of the controller are nice addition to the controller and add more functionality like mute, play, stop I think, the cable is long enough for my set up, it's about 6' long. the iCue app is not as complicated as I thought it would be pretty straightforward to navigate but you need to tweak the controller as the default dead zones are set high and may add input lag. so far, it's a 5/5 stars and would buy again.

This is a good controller - I really like the quality of the sticks, the side buttons, and configurability. It has one big design flaw that explains (to me) all the returns and frustrated me for days when I first got it. On the back of the controller, there is a mode switch - you can switch it between USB and wireless. When set to wireless mode, it will use the USB dongle to communicate. What I have found is that: a) If you plug in using usb, but leave it using the wireless mode, the controller does not charge. b) If you plug in using usb, but leave it using the wireless mode, the back paddles stop working. If you want to charge the controller/use it as a wired controller, you need to slide that control on the back, or it doesn't charge and the back paddles don't work. That is a bizarre choice. I should not have to switch a toggle to connect my controller to the PC and have it charge. The profiles also differ depending on whether you use wired or wireless mode - there is a mode where it can use the device memory for the button settings, but you can only enable that if it is connected via usb. (icue software is functional but the UI could use work.) I should be able to configure my controller regardless of how it is connected to my pc. If you can deal with these quirks, the controller is fine and seems to work well otherwise. Read more
