    This is a great purchase and I am so happy that comes with the customization that comes with the paddle under it and with the app on my Xbox to make this even more custom, especially with the trigger locks

    This is very cool. Just for the packaging it is amazing. It comes in a very nice case with everything and not having to buy any other accessories. The back paddles are amazing and the customizable system is amazing. Overall this is amazing.

    This controller is amazing, so much customization and the build quality is fantastic. I’ve heard there are problems with it breaking down the road so I purchased the extended warranty.

    This controller has some definite improvements from the series 1. The charging port is easy to use and the battery is long-lasting. Most of the features feel the same when playing, which is still good quality.
