How each score was set

Usability 4.8 /10

From published features and owner comments · not a lab test.

Specs and compatibility5.0/10
Three of six: compatible model codes, ABS material (Amazon listing) and a DIY clip fit with an install video. No dimensions, weight or safety listing.
Warranty and returns4.0/10
6-month warranty and 30-day return, but returns need an unused item and exclude sale items; a DIY shell is rarely returnable once fitted.
Setup and software4.0/10
Two of five: install video guide and a deep spare-parts range. No dated firmware (not applicable), and one reviewer rates the install intermediate.
Price and extras6.0/10
Regular price shown and low versus a new controller; shipping not read and the controller itself is not included.
Support and owner reports5.0/10
Email contact and a chat widget; owner reports on Amazon are mostly positive with fit complaints on buttons.

Social 8.0 /10
