    They really impressed me with the construction of this controller. Seems heavier and better built than other years-but not so heavy that It’s tiresome holding it. It has all the bells and whistles needed to shoot down all the bad guys- to My kids love it!

    This controller is amazing! My favorite feature is being able to tighten the sticks however much you want. This controller is extremely customizable and the new grip on the front of the controller and the triggers is very nice

    Great controller, love the higher tension thumb sticks and paddles. Make sure you get the added coverage from Best Buy because as with any Microsoft controller, stick drift and button registration becomes an issue.

    So having owned the series 1, this has some great enhancements and Microsoft listened. Major improvements is now 3 instead of 2 trigger lengths, enhancements to deeper control of the sticks, and the battery life with awesome charger. Highly recommend!
