    Really love not having to replace/recharge batteries. Love the feel. Can't get use to the paddles, had to remove them. Haven't gotten around to tweaking the settings nor controls. Don't really know if it was worth the $180.00, but it is better than the standard controller.

    I play games on just about everything (PC, Xbox, Phone) and I am so glad I have this controller to use on all these platforms. As soon as you pick it up you know it's a great quality build. Extremely easy to switch out sticks and d-pad (takes seconds). It's also very easy to set the paddles to whatever button you want (I did it through the Xbox).

    I would’ve gave it a 5 star but the controller is a little stiff and some buttons you gotta push hard to work. Other than that it’s a great controller.

    definitely worth it. this remote is so customizable. from the joysticks to the d pad and even the triggers. not to mention the different profiles that you can mess with on the xbox to assign the buttons to whatever you want, plus xbox has already announced that it will be compatible with the next gen console, so you're all good there too. Must have!!!

    I didn’t think the controller was worth it. After using it for a few hours and getting use to the extra controls I am not able to go back to a standard controller. This controller has helped me tremendously. I recommend this to anyone trying to get a slight advantage in game.

    This controller is the best and worth the money. The extra for triggers underneath allow for more versatility in games controls. Only downside is the controller feels tiny in larger hands.

    Definitely worth it, has a little more weight to it , sleek look. Love the protective case it comes with to charge inside, the gripped skin on it is great if you’re hands get sweaty. Paddle boards on back are awesome so you don’t have to take your fingers off toggle sticks... 100% worth the buy if you want the best playing experience

    Didn't realize this one didn't come with extensions and travel case like the black one I had purchased. Thought they were the same. Travel case isn't needed and extensions are only 15 so it was cheaper doing it this way.

    I have used both the standard Xbox One and the Xbox Elite controller and this V2 is a great modern option. It will also connect to the Xbox Series X. While the Elite had the rubber that would separate from the bottom plastic, this V2 has rubber that wraps around, with the only downside is that it leads to sweatier hands during gaming sessions.

    Love this controller! I had the older model elite and after 3 yrs.it got stick drift so it was on to the new model. Feels amazing in your hands.Great control with additional trigger stop levels and smaller paddles in a little different location. The only thing I wish is that it came with more domed sticks.

    This controller is awesome. The price is high, but the materials and build of it make it feel very expensive and worth every penny. It's a little heavier, the buttons feel way better, and it's easy to set up. Worth every penny.
