Despite its beaten up aesthetic, build quality is absolutely stellar.

Thankfully, the controller is untextured, so the rust and wear is all for show.
If you opt for the plastic model though, the face buttons feature customizable RGB lighting.
Naturally, the post-apocalyptic visuals also extend to the silver triggers and thumbsticks.
Its easy to remove, and PB Tails offers replacements in various guises for just $7.
That said, the overall size of the controller might pose some difficulty for those with smaller hands.
On PC, I used the 2.4GHz dongle.
The latency was practically unnoticeable, which was great for those split second reactions in racing games.
I really enjoyed using the TMR sticks compared to traditional ones.
The biggest improvement for me was felt in Super Smash Bros. Dont tell my friends, but I also cheated inMario Party Superstarsusing the Crush Defenders turbo feature.
It leaves the controller feeling lackluster, especially considering that the Kaleid features full remapping and adjustable hair triggers.

I think I have found my new go-to controller.
