1. It feels very small and cramped if you have big hands. It's got a standard Xbox-shaped shell but the triggers are a lot narrower requiring a more contorted hand stretch.
2. The battery on these is known to have issues with swelling after a few months. Yours may be fine but if you do get this controller you should at least go in expecting to possibly have to dispose it very carefully in a few months.

I just grabbed one of these a couple weeks ago (without the dock, unfortunately) and I've been fairly impressed. Had not heard of the battery issues, that's definitely something I will keep an eye out for, but I'm also capable of repairing something like that without too much issue, so I'm not overly worried about it.
The ergonomics work pretty well for my hands (not large, but not particularly small, either); the back paddle buttons are a lot more ergonomic than my Xbox Elite controller levers, which I find interfere with how I want to grip the handles. Easy to remap them mid-game, good support for Mac & PC, and it even takes aftermarket replacement stick gates made for Xbox controllers. Short-throw on the triggers is nice, though I honestly wish that there was a way to make them work at the bottom of the range instead of the top -- but in short throw mode, they turn clicky (digital), which is much nicer than the partial-throw that a lot of other controllers have for that feature, to me.
Can't speak to longevity and, obviously, the battery thing, but it's a lot of value for the pricepoint, so if it lasts the way a TMR controller should, it's an absolute steal. If it doesn't... eh, still probably worth it as a modding platform, for me, at least. It's half-tempting to grab another one.

I've used a bunch of 8bitdo and some PowerA controllers and I'd never seen a battery issue flagged on them.
