    High quality controller with easy to use and cool features which can be very helpful when gaming. Got it on an amazing sale, and no issues or complaints since then.

    Great controller overall. If you overuse L1/R1 it can stop working with usual pressure. I have had to return 3 now for the same issue. Pros: paddles allow you to keep your thumbs on the sticks at all times and ease of use on non shooters Rechargable, good battery life Cons: L1/R1 issue

    Hands down the best controller on the market. Tons of options to make it work exactly how you want it too from trigger stops to programmable buttons. Excels for keeping you thumbs on the sticks in FPS games and having flappy paddle shifters in racing games. Only gripe, the internal battery. It is great and lasts a long time however in a few years when the battery goes bad you won’t be able to pop in new AAs or a new rechargeable pack.

    I've bought probably 6 of these things over the years. Some came immediately with stick drift that no amount of deadzone tweaking could fix or adjustment of the tension. If I didnt have the best buy total member subscription, i would have bought a scuff. Yet spending $50 every year or so to replace it has been working.

    When I bought this controller, I wasn’t sure if it was really all it was cracked up to be especially since I’m so used to the standard Xbox one controllers but let me tell you, I will never use any other controller, it feels great in the hands, the build construction is perfect and the battery life is even better, not to mention but the case and the extras are pretty sweet!

    It's nice, but $180 nice?

    I'm not sure why everyone says this controller is so great. It's pretty nice and all, but worth the $180 I'm not so sure. It's comfortable, comes with interchangeable parts, 4 paddle buttons on the bottom, rechargeable, thumbsticks triggrts are adjustable, and control scheme profiles. To anyone reading this that has read other reviews of people talking about the thumbsticks feeling lose out of the box, they are adjustable. It comes with a tool that you can use to make them stiff or loose. It's actually pretty nice being able to adjust how much tension is required to move the stick. Can make fine point aim easier.
