    Good if you want to be high ranked in Apex. All the buttons are good use than the first one.

    So I bought two of these. One from Best Buy and one from Game Stop. For my 22 year old and 12 year old sons. I hate paying for controllers because they break them so easily but I read the reviews and they were all good. First day my oldest had it he dropped it down the stairs, spilled soda on it and it was thrown off the wall a couple times. Not a mark. Or scratch. Nothing. This thing held up through it all. Very well made. And the one from game stop was more expensive and that's the one my other son had and when we took it out of the box it was used and it wasn't supposed to be. Definitely worth the money as long as you buy it from Best Buy.

    I know its the "core" but i thought you would at lease get one set of paddles. Its okay that i didnt because 3rd party on amazon was only $13 for the paddles so you save a ton not getting the case and other accessories.

    Overall a really good controller. The only downside is it is USB rechargeable instead of batteries (my preference). I also does not have a screen shot button

    Extra functionality does not compensate for bulk.

    The extra paddle functionality is a nice touch. Not the best in ergonomic design. It is a bit bulkier than what I prefer. A bit more stream lined design in the area of the finger-to-palm grip.

    This controller is amazing, the customization options and the paddles make such a difference when it comes to game play. I also like that you can change the color of the xbox logo. The grip on it is nice and the trigger stops come in use for certain games. Never going back to a normal controller.

    Huge upgrade from standard Xbox controllers

    A great controller overall, got it for my series x. Love the hair trigger and customization features. Expensive but truly feels like a premium controller. Only downsides are that Microsoft will likely introduce a series 3 soon that incorporates haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and the share button that is currently on series x controllers in order to compete with the incredible dual sense.

    I heard about a lot of QC issues. I have not gotten any yet. A product this expensive should not have that kind of a reputation though . . . There is supposed to be an extended warranty for 1 year offered by microsoft. I honestly don't know how the warranty works, but the device works just fine.

    Expensive controller that cost me more money

    This is a very well constructed and quality controller that feels really great to use. My issues with it stem from its pc compatibility. Firstly I would not use this controller via bluetooth, as there is intermittent latency, use a dongle or a cable to connect. Secondly, and my biggest disappointment, is that there does not appear to be any first party support for keyboard mapping. I found plenty of tutorials on how to use it. But when you try and use the software to map, the options are not there. I ended up using a third party software to accomplish this

    I love this controller more than any controller I’ve owned so far, interchangeable thin sticks and d pad are the best thing about it, so you can replace with a new grip if yours is worn out also. Pro list goes on

    Yes the price is a little high but the customization features are great! Plus the fact that it has a removable charging dock in the case is really nice. I read some reviews that say this product isn't very durable. I will say when I received it some of the plastic pieces need to be popped back in. But so far no issues, at the end of the day you should always buy the Best Buy warranty for controllers and electronics.

    Its the best controller ive ever had, however the price is very steep. Ive had some really amazing controllers just below this one in my rankings, and the prices were very different. I wish it were just a bit Cheaper.

    Loving this controller so far. The customizable trigger sensitivity is great for shooter games. It took a few days to get used to cause it is slightly heavier and bigger at the top. The ease of the charging case and is a nice addition

    Only minor issues so far. sometimes it randomly disconnects, but that's maybe once a week. Reconnect and it's fine. The sticks weren't great for navigating game menus out of the box, bit I think that has to do with the thumbstick tension, which is adjustable. EASILY the most comfortable controller I've ever held.
