    Should be the Standard Controller

    The controller is wanted by many, and justifiably so, but many are priced out. The controller is great to hold, great feed back and very customizable. I get 5 hours so far without charging (I play shooters), and leave it on while consuming media content.

    Got this controller to improve my gameplay. There is a bit of a learning curve at first. Once you get this controller it's hard to go back. My controller works fine out of the box, but the headphones make a buzzing noise with this controller. Its a good controller.

    Controller is very nice, but as many reviews have stated the build quality isn’t the best. Sure is nice though, but definitely not worth $180. If you have the money for it, you should buy the warranty, which is another $60 so yeah it’s really pricey.

    No other controller has so much quality like this one. The build materials are amazing, the buttons and joysticks are great and customizable. The software on screen to customize your triggers and extra buttons is very easy to use. It stills the best controller that you can buy. Period.

    Xmas purchase for son in law as he had a corded controller. He plays on line and his old controller was not as fast as it could be as it was a couple of years old. He really loves his new cordless controller and he enjoys his games a lot more now.

    I love this bad boy. I was hesitant spending that much money on a controller but man, it's worth it. Setting the paddles up for custom use on different games is a breeze. It has greatly improved my play in FPS like Warzone. Feels amazing in the hands. Charge is ridiculously long. I simply love it.

    while the controller is an amazing product the durability of the product is lacking a bit, the bumper button for my controller went out so I was thankful that I had a total tech membership to help me replace the item whennit started to fail. it is a lot of money to spend for a controller but the added bonus of everything it offers over a standard controller is worth it. heres hoping the next version is better quality.

    This is my second one of these in 3 years. I love this controller so much the paddles make all the difference when playing competitive fps games. Heavy use will wear it out but still works great for a long time.

    I’ve had it for about a year and it’s served me well but the left toggle has already stopped working properly as of a couple of days ago. Overall I love it and I’ll be getting another one. Hopefully Microsoft has improved their parts for it.
