    Using this controller will make you hate the normal xbox controls. The quality and weight of the control is amazing.

  • PADDLES UNRESPONSIVE

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    Great until the paddles in the back becomes completely unresponsive. Apparently it's a known problem! I had mine for a year and a couple months. The controller only comes with a one year warranty. $170 wasted. Just stick with the off brand.

    Wow, love this controller and all the customization. The only thing is that it is heavy, so if you game for long hours, might not be the one for you.
