As a lot of reviewers are saying, it feels very close to the Steam Deck controls. The trackpads are slightly different texture and a bit more refined (in a good way). The D-pad and face buttons feel good to me as a longtime gamer.

I'm used to the Xbox Elite 2 these days and this is quite a bit lighter in weight and feels more like plastic, but still solid enough (again, like the Deck). I do maybe prefer the 8-edged D-pad and I'll probably miss the trigger stops, but gyro and trackpads and grip sense should more than make up for it.

GLS is the worst!!

I was supposed to get mine on Friday afternoon. Was following the tracking down to 1 stop away, and then I got a “sorry, we tried to deliver it but couldn’t find you” message. They certainly didn’t try, not even drove by (I live in a very quiet street and would have heard it).

And it’s not the first time they did the same.

Not specific to any courier, but the level of frustration I achieve when I get a notification that "nobody was home" when I am literally waiting in the living room, looking out the window to see if any van drives by.... Ugh. Honestly I don't blame the drivers though. It's the corps scheduling them too tightly, unfortunately. I don't envy them.

I'm actually happy about GLS. They delivered to Germany, day was correct and even the timeframe between 2 hour window was correct. The driver ring the bell and was going up 4 floors without elevator (where I live). This was pretty nice.

Sometimes the other delivery aren't like that. They would usually not even ring and tell they were there just to not walk up the floors. And wouldn't even leave anything so I know which neighbor or shop took it for me and is waiting for me to take it.
