    It’s the best option if you don’t use the paddles on the back and use it for its extra features

    Had this controller less than a month and the left stick is drifting. Will be returning for another one since I got the warranty. Hopefully the new one will not have that issue or button sticking issues.

    Bought first release and got stuck drift horribly. But Microsoft sent me a new controller after some long phone calls and checking on updates. But my 2nd controller is working as intended.

    Best Xbox controller by far. Series 2 is an improvement over Series 1 with shorter paddles that are more comfortable for people with big hands. Built-in rechargeable battery is a nice bonus

    The best controller in the industry, hands down. Especially if you have the 2 year Best Buy warranty. 60 dollars each time you need a new one! It makes too much sense!

    I like the control really good but I miss the old features that a regular control has and the paddles are really nice but I’m not used to it but I would definitely recommend it

    This controller is a vast improvement over the original. The paddles feel better and being able to adjust stick tension is a nice improvement. Textured triggers are better as well. Hopefully no build quality issues like the first one.

    A better controller than the basic, but twice the cost with marginally improved durability. If you use custom configs, though, this is for you.
