    Incredible controller, no problems at all. The quality is definitely improved from the original. Wouldn't recommend the original controllers anymore with how fast they seem to die now.

    If you are a gamer, you have to get this controller. It is really well built, it is slightly heavier than a regular controller which makes it feel more serious and not like a plastic toy. The interchangeable parts add to your experience and the paddles offer new ways to play. Battery life is unbelievable, it can easily last for more than 40 hours compared to the maybe 10-15 I get on a PlayStation controller.

    The colorway looks better in person, but the feel of the controller is great! Main thing is you have to order the accessories separately. But if you just want a good feeling controller without the extra bells and whistles, it's great!

    Bought the controller when it first released. Approve of the feel and back panels. Unfortunately, the left Thumb Stick lost its clicking, most likely due to overuse/user. Fortunately, purchased the Geek Squad Protection and was able to get a replacement back in August 2020; had to purchase a new Geek Squad Protection plan that was higher than the original price :(

    I’ve been using an Xbox elite controller since the first one came out and I must same they checked every box this time around and I love it even more. I play FPS games so much better since the introduction of paddles and I can’t play without them now lol worth every penny even got insurance which is a must for something like this. Built in battery, Bluetooth, long battery life 40hrs, 3 profiles for paddles, as well as adjustable joystick tension :D

    Really good controller the quality is very good and the feel of it is nice. Would recommend. The battery life is long and the controller charges quickly. The buttons are very responsive and the paddles in the back are also very responsive and customizable. The triggers are also a nice thing on the controller and the trigger stoppers are good for fps games. Very good controller over all worth every dollar.

    Smooth playable controller, love the extra buttons underneath to change button layouts, the different button layouts changeable on the fly at a push of the button for different games.

    Disappointed

    Pretty displeased. I bought this on January 2024. Couple years back I bought the Elite series black controller and it started going out so I figured I give this one a shot since it was cheaper. First and foremost it does NOT have all the additional buttons that the other controller has. Moreover, within a month of owning this controlle. For a $130 controller I expect something thats going to last abit longer than 2 months. Overall, get the black Elite. Not this hunk of junk.

    Decent. On par with the first generation if you set aside the defective units. I wish it had a little more grippiness. The paddles don't stick out as much on this one. For the price, when it's on sale, I'd say this a very good deal. If you move up to a "better" controller you're going to be paying twice as much.

    Hands down the best controller

    OMG!!! The features of this controller are like non I've seen. I love the hair trigger settings (Very useful in COD) and the ability to map the x-y-b-a buttons to paddles under the controller are outstanding. The different thumbsticks help with customization and there are three different sensitivity settings on the thumbsticks. I scoffed at spending this kind of money on a controller, but worth every penny. Even for a part time gamer....

    Please purchase the geek squad warranty, this is the best feeling controller on Xbox one but if you drop it at least once you might not have functional buttons no more and you will have to buy another controller, this is my third and I had to finally pay the extra cash to know that I can get my controller replaced if something goes wrong
