    I purchase this to replace my wired XBox 360 controller for the PC. As my review title states, this is a great buy. The Build quality is superb, this really complements my Razer Blade Stealth and I also use this for the Project XCloud. I really cannot complain anything, some will say the price, but as noted the quality is excellent. I recommend this for people who likes to play games and have a job to actually buy it without whining.

    It's expensive yes, but you can customize it to your specs for any game. The built-in battery is nice, but also a burden. Buy this controller.

    Works like a charm. Tested with Windows PC, SteamDeck, and NVIDIA shield. Flawless connection. If you want to enable the levers you will have to buy the additional set for the paddles. This is only the controller itself. Works well with small hands, I am somewhat doubtful if this is very comfortable with large hands.

    I finally decided to buy this controller and i love the options this controller allows you to configure. I play call of duty modern warefare on the xbox and i wanted an extra perk. This control allows me to configure the paddles to slide, duck, laydown and jump without having to move my right thumb. If you are good enough or get use to using the paddles you can fly through the game. Its fun to innovate and change up the standard experience in these games. I would recommend it if you have the money to upgrade your controller.

    Completely love the feel of this controller. Easy to hold. Very heavy compared to others. Works great for cross platform with the eight bit duo. If you have a program properly to be recognized as the different series, Xbox controller works well for Sniper games.

    I've gotten many different types of controller brands. Gotta say that this was on my #1 spot on my list immediately. Just needs a little more customization when it comes to button binding.

    Completely changes how you game. I primarily use it for FPS, and with the heightened thumbsticks your aim can increase substantially. The paddles give you the ability to never remove your thumb from the joystick, which is mainly why I got this one, and is a huge plus. The ability to customize trigger sensitivity and stop position also helps a lot. The overall build is very well constructed. No issues structurally what so ever. I highly recommend this controller if you want to give yourself a little extra edge in your gameplay.

    I still have 2 xbox 360s, 2 xbox ones, 1 xbox one s, and also an xbox one x along with all the original controllers. They all still work really well. Only two of the ten old controllers have a slight issue with drift. They are standard stock controllers. This series 2 has such fantastic feel to it. Loved playing with it. But it seems to have slowly acquired all the problems I've read about online. Only 5 months after purchase, it performs worse than my oldest stock 50 dollar controller. Stick drifting, buttons non reactive whenever it feels like it, and disconnecting blue tooth or even hard wired. I love all of my xbox equipment, but sad to say, i wouldn't recommend this controller until Microsoft can fix the many issues it has. Microsoft should reassess where this is manufactured and consider giving the contract for it to a more qualified manufacturer.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Love the controller with exception of price and the stick drift issue. It's nice that Microsoft finally acknowledged that it was a problem and extended the warranty but it would be better if they would fix the issue. On my second controller in 4 months so we'll see how it holds up. A little on the pricey side when considering the quality issues they have been having.
