    Controller feels good in your hands. Everything feels solid on this one and the magnetic interchangeable thumb sticks and makes this controller awesome for games like COD or Destiny!

    This controller feels nice and easy to use. I have not had any issues with it so far. All though this controller uses a rechargeable battery, the battery life on this controller is very good.

    It really is an excellent controller with a comfortable design and tons of customization options, but I still don't know if it is worth the $180 price tag which is the only reason I subtract a star.

    This is the Best Controller out there built in battery a great little charger stand. I love the feel of this it is a little heavy but not bad at all. Having the extra buttons under the controller is great. You can set up the controller any way you want the buttons to go.

    This is the best controller in the world. Love using this for multi-player games such as war zone. You can map the buttons on the bottom to what you want to you can play better. Has a long lasting battery to keep you playing all night. The best controller period.
