    I have a rare bone disease in my wrist and it constantly hurts... when I play xbox with the standard controller... OMG. I completely stopped playing xbox because after 15 minutes, I wanted to cut my wrist off. THIS controller is a LIFE saver... having the triggers underneath changed my world. The fact that you can swap certain pieces out is cool too. It is easy to map and connectivity has never been an issue. Before my wrist issues, I played with a standard controller and I actually play BETTER with this one... perhaps a coincidence but I LOVE this controller. I have been using the 1st generation and will continue to until it craps out... this one is a back up that I played with for a few weeks to make sure it worked.

    I picked up this $180 controller because I wanted to see if Microsoft really made it better than the first one, and I must say after having it for a week of long gaming sessions I can say this: Amazing controller but Microsoft did not need to add the extra $30 to the price tag.

    Very nice controller and definitely worth a premium price, but I would wait and try to scoop it up on a sale because $200 is a little steep for an Xbox remote that isn’t a custome built one.

    The Perfect Controller

    I can't even think of a single negative thing to say about this controller. It's basically perfect, feels great in the hand, and has loads of unique and features. I think the three things that really make this controller a "must have" for any gamer are 1) the adjustable inputs/stick tension. Medium and high bother feel fantastic. Normal controllers don't have enough stick tension for me. Setting the triggers to half just feels right. 2) the swappable sticks. The dome top and tall stick combo do actually make a difference for competitive shooters and 3) The paddle placement is perfect. Assuming this controller holds up for a while, and the QC is in shape, I'd highly recommend.

    All this remote control is really good. I use it all the time. It really lasts for 40 hours straight battery charge. You can mess with the settings of the remote control however you want it.

    The controller was on back order so I was super excited when it became available(covid and what not). Overall the controller has unmatchable customization, but like other reviews say it has its problems... the A and B button don’t Respond 1 in 10 presses.. which isn’t that big of a deal since you can use the paddles... that’s all cool until the paddles do the same. I love this controller. I swapped from years of playing claw on a regular x-box controller. All I can say is buy it from Best Buy and get the geek squad 2 year protection. Geek squad has no questions asked and you get a new one. This controller is plagued with problems.... so use Best Buy

    I love the feel of the controller. What stops it from being great is the delay in the A button. It's still the best Xbox controller out there.

    Most premium controller I've ever held, however, I'm starting to notice some drift which is not good for a 2 month old controller worth nearly $200...

    I have purchased this controller twice since it was released. The accessories that come with the controller are easy to interchange and store when not utilized. I have used the paddles just about every way you can have them, but I only keep two of the paddles connected instead of all four. I would not purchase this product without adding the BestBuy protection plan.

    Overall a good controller. Bumpers and buttons are less responsive than a regular one. Definitely need to be upgraded, especially for the price you pay. Paddles are great, way better than the Scuff controller.
