    This is the best controller I’ve used for the Xbox so far. It is very responsive and the customization options for the D-pad and thumb sticks are needed for shooters.

    If you can afford it, get it! Amazing! Customizable! Loving it! Great package. Case even has magnetic charger within it. Feels perfect. Paddles take some time to get a feel for but then fit in flawlessly.
