I just received mine. I'd say it's similar to dual shock. Honestly this thing isn't very comfortable for me. But I've been using the nav for so long that it may just take time to adjust. The grip seems too narrow, I'd like to fatten it up, already brainstorming some ideas on what to do. But again this could just be because it's different, I've been using the nav for years. But the build quality does seem pretty good, a pretty and well made device. I actually bought it for pc gaming, the keyboard mode is nice. No more fighting my pc to get the nav to work. Seems like a constant battle with drivers, xpadder, etc. So I'll probably continue to use the nav with xim on console and grifta for pc gaming.
