    This controller is awesome! feels professional and strong build! my only complain would be that the paddles at the bottom are place in a why that may make you pouch them in, even when you don't want too.

    Expensive, yes. Playing both Pc + Xbox and being able to map controller buttons. Just awesome. Plus being able to switch button profiles with one button. I haven’t had any trouble with thumbstick drift nor sticky buttons

    This controller is possibly the best gaming controller currently to ever be made. It’s new features up to and including the adjustable tension screws give the upper hand when gaming online. Pick this up you will not be disappointed.

    Love this controller. The back paddles comes in handle for subbing as the AXYB buttons. Everything is magnetic so you can change the layout of the controller as well. Comes with charging case which is perfect

    Love the controller. The grips do not come off like the series 1 controller. Live the charging dock for the controller. Do not need to worry about changing batteries. If you are a Cbox gamer, this is a must have.
