    Great controller! I like the customization of the button layout and joystick movement options. make for the best gaming experience. Good placement for paddle buttons with XL hands doesn’t feel awkward. Great Buy

    One of the best controllers I've ever used. Got a little over 20 months, and over 1000 hours worth of intense gaming before signs of stick drift. nice and hefty and feels like its a controller worth almost $200. The features like back paddles and trigger stops are a God-send, and are great for competitive and casual gaming. Worth its weight and if you play everyday or just a weekend gamer its worth it if you give it some love.

    I love the feel of the controller. What stops it from being great is the delay in the A button. It's still the best Xbox controller out there.

    Great controller. Love all the extra buttons on the backside. Makes playing Fortnite much easier. The only change I would make is having a mic on the controller like PlayStation does. other than that it definitely has a high end feel to it.

    The controller was on back order so I was super excited when it became available(covid and what not). Overall the controller has unmatchable customization, but like other reviews say it has its problems... the A and B button don’t Respond 1 in 10 presses.. which isn’t that big of a deal since you can use the paddles... that’s all cool until the paddles do the same. I love this controller. I swapped from years of playing claw on a regular x-box controller. All I can say is buy it from Best Buy and get the geek squad 2 year protection. Geek squad has no questions asked and you get a new one. This controller is plagued with problems.... so use Best Buy

    Most premium controller I've ever held, however, I'm starting to notice some drift which is not good for a 2 month old controller worth nearly $200...

    Good control with Xbox and works seamlessly with pc. Feels a little clunky compared to the standard control but then again that is the trade off to have such customizable and swappable components.

    Overall a good controller. Bumpers and buttons are less responsive than a regular one. Definitely need to be upgraded, especially for the price you pay. Paddles are great, way better than the Scuff controller.
