    I am extremely happy with this controller. It feels great in my hands and is easy to modify to fit my preferences. I highly recommend pulling the trigger if you are considering it.

    The LB or RB button tends to break fast, the controller works great but that button breaks too often or becomes less responsive

    This is a great controller for those who love shooters. The paddles on the back are a great alternative to buttons and the battery life is amazing.

    The controller looks and feels great. It worked great for one day, but the second day I had it, the left joystick started drifting. I tried changing the joystick attachment with no luck. After a week the Y button began to depress oddly which offered a slower than typical response. The battery life is excellent on the controller, but the issues I experienced within the first two weeks of owning the controller do not justify the premium price. Tried to exchange the product, but they are sold out. Will return if I can’t get an exchange and save myself 140 bucks by buying a cheap (but reliable) standard wireless controller.

    While the standard xbox controller is more than serviceable, having a heftier, customizable option will always win out in my opinion. This controller is awesome.

    Great feel. Sometimes in certain games the sticks will feel sensitive, but the pop the stick off grab your tension tool and the controller becomes the perfect controller for any game.

    I love that you can charger it in its case!! The only concern is the bottom right came loose but snapped back in place. Maybe its so you can swap them out with different colors in the future?
