    The build quality is solid and the ability to adjust thumbstick tension and re-map buttons is a game-changer. The wireless connectivity is reliable and the battery life is impressive. Overall, it's a must-have for serious Xbox gamers.

    My go to controller. High quality, triggers are adjustable (although i didn't really change them often.) Also the extra buttons on the back are nice, but haven't really needed to use them. Still love the case, the charging, and the feel of it. Expensive, but worth it

    This thing is a game changer. Having the back paddles for traditional button actions makes the controller competitive. You have the ability to never lift your thumbs off the joysticks. Increases reaction times for all mechanics of your gameplay. Solid build. Long battery life. Full access to detailed settings. You’ll find yourself building complex profiles for each game with this controller. Does so much more than just control your game.

    I like the adjustability of this controller. The sensitivity adjustment is great and there is a lot options for layout configuration. However, I do not think it is worth the money for an average person. I gave four stars for cost alone.

    I really love that this controller is finally rechargeable, although being able to charge in the case doesn't always work. Also, my hands seem to sweat more when compared to the series 1. Overall great design and comfort. I also love having different analog options and even though i haven't used the tool to adjust the analogs im intrigued, but leary of messing with them.

    After using this controller for about a month I have found myself using the back bumpers way more than I thought. The grips are nice when playing intense games. Even the case is nice to just set my controller in and it charges it for me. Great controller.

    This is by far the best controller I've ever used. It's built really well and feels good in my hands. Having the trigger settings and removable buttons as well as 3 on the fly programmed settings takes this controller over the top. The price tag will make you consider not buying but after pulling the trigger I couldn't be happier with my purchase. The 40 hour built in battery and charging dock are another added bonus to this nifty controller. Highly recommend.

    Most Comfortable Controller You’ll Find

    Most comfortable and customizable controller I have ever used. I bought this on sale for $130, and don’t feel that I overspent for what it is. I probably would not purchase at full price, as there are better options in that price point. I’m using on a PC, and it takes a bit of customization to get it right. But there is absolutely no lag when paired via Bluetooth.

    Excellent controller. Had the original and decided to upgrade to the second version, no disappointment at all. Quality feels better and the sticks are durable. Customizing the controller paddles/buttons is ready to do from the app in your Xbox console

    BEST CONTROLLER

    Great solid controller. Has perfect weight comes with charging case that you can charge controller IN!!!! Over all worth every penny if you play Xbox or pc at all. I have used a lot of controllers in my life and this by far exceeds the rest. Also, has extra paddles for the back and extra buttons in the case. Buttons are metal not plastic so it makes a huge difference when playing and they remove effortless by magnets.

    By far the best controller that I’ve bought. I’ve had the normal PS4&5, Xbox one, Astro C40, Scuff, and even nycon controller. This blows them out of the water with the customizability and quality. I’ve seen reviews saying there’s stick drift after a while (I’ve had it for about a month so I cant speak on that) but I highly HIGHLY suggest this controller to anyone who’s serious about gaming.

    Great controller if you have some extra money lying around to splurge. Personally, it was a bit much for the cost, and I find it better to just grab a strike pack for the paddles and use an original Xbox one controller instead of the new one (afaik they don’t make them for the new controller right now). TLDR: get it if money isn’t an issue and you want more than two paddles, otherwise buy strike pack

    This is a marked improvement over the previous model but is still without its issues. Mainly it randomly disconnects from Bluetooth while playing any game on PC. There is no rhyme or reason that I can tell, but its been a know issue since launch. There doesn't seem to be any part of Microsoft that wants to acknowledge the issue either. I've been told by their support to buy the Xbox controller wireless adapter, which in my opinion is unacceptable. For a nearly $200 peripheral that has a wireless technology built in that should allow me to play, the fix should not be to buy another $30 part. Other than that the upgrades they did to this controller are far better than before. The controller grips are one piece now so it shouldn't separate and fall apart like the last one. Also the bumper design has been retooled so the broken bumpers shouldn't be an issue anymore. Hopefully the push a firmware fix for the connection issues soon because having the controller flake out during a game is very annoying.
