Customer Reviews
Solves my battery anxiety
I used to forget to charge my Pro Controller until it died mid-match. This grip sits on my desk and now it's always topped off.
Small but useful
Does exactly what it says. Wish it had a spot for a second controller, but for the price I can't complain.
Good but cable not included
Works fine once I bought my own USB-C cable. Would've liked one bundled in the box.
Perfect travel companion
Throw it in my bag with my controller and I never worry about battery life at tournaments anymore.
