Pretty good. Microsoft is junk though.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The overall build of the controller is very nice. The added paddles are not my thing and I end up hitting them on accident more than not due to the size of my hands. Bluetooth doesn’t work for sht in windows 10. Drops connection every couple of seconds which is why the low score. Had to get an Xbox wifi adapter to fix the issue. For the price I should have to do that.

So close to being the perfect controller!
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So good in some ways, a let down in others. The Bad. The Bluetooth is not usable on my Windows 10 gaming pc. It seems okay and latency isn't an issue from what I can tell, but about every 5 minutes you'll lose control for a good 6-7 seconds. Maybe this could be fixed with a software update, but both my controller and the Bluetooth drivers on my computer are up to date. The wireless USB module took care of this. Just sucks always having one more USB drive being used. My A button stuck down for a brief moment twice. I'm hoping this doesn't get worse. The Good The case with the charger built in is a nice touch. The USB cable that comes with it is awesome. Feels very good in the hand. Has a dense solid feel, very quality build to it. The grips are much improved over the V1 Elite controller, which I've used for the last 3 years, that reduce sweating in the palms greatly. The new triggers are fantastic. The old, large ones are terrible by comparison on the last gen. The tension screws on the joysticks, wow! What a feature. I love that! Tool included and takes seconds to adjust. I now have my right stick on max resistance and I can aim so much better than before. Overall, I like the controller. The biggest concern is the sticky buttons at this point. If it continues I'll be replacing it with another one and if that one fails I'll wait until the 3rd generation. The first generation is still working well enough to get me by.

Ok but not much better than the regular controller
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought one of these because the last several regular controllers i bought have all had issues with either the a button or the right trigger. I thought for the extra money it had to be better. Well, not really. If your not going to use the extra mappable paddle buttons on the back I don't really think this controller is a worthwhile upgrade.

Handheld Perfection!
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This has been the best controller I’ve ever purchased. The build quality is outstanding. Very sturdy and has a nice weight to it. The built in battery makes it so much easier than traditional controllers. The rear-facing “fully mappable” toggles can really give you a competitive edge in multiplayer gaming. Works perfectly on both my Xbox and PC. Can be a little difficult for some to get used to the rear toggles and while they are removable it’s so worth it to get used to. They built this model perfectly!

keep the 1st gen or wait for the third
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Definitely not an overall improvement from the first generation. Battery life is better, more mapping options, but past that, the buttons feel flimsier than ever, the buttons and bumpers will start to stick no matter how well you take care of it, and they decided to make the removable parts not interchangeable between the generations, just as a power move, don't see any benefit to that

Awesome controller
