The version of the controller that Argos is offering has a lot up its sleeve, including four extra mappable buttons on the rear of the gamepad. If you've never used extra buttons, they can unlock a huge amount of new options in competitive games.

On top of that, you get twistable thumbsticks that to change between three different height settings. That's a great solution for having different setups in different games, and more flexible than some more expensive controllers I've used.

It also boast some really flashy and interesting RGB lighting – sometimes this can be a bit much, but I think the design in this instance is really quite impressive, and I'd happily use it. With easily repaired hall effect joysticks, it should stand the test of time without stick drift, and you also get a handy charging stand for when it's not in use.

That's a great raft of features, so if you've been complaining about your default controller for a while, this is your opportunity to upgrade without looking back.
