    I purchased this controller about a month ago and what a difference in gameplay. I no longer use the buttons during play instead am using the paddles which for me works much more efficient. The quality of this is amazing and better than any other controller I had. I was always a fan of PlayStation controllers until someone told me this controller will change my mind in many ways for gaming. If you are a hardcore FPS I recommend this controller all day long.

    I got an open box in good condition controller. The only thing missing was the directional pad that you can see on most pictures. Otherwise, perfect condition, all other parts and connected fast to my Xbox.

    Although it’s built like a tank and the quality is superb. The issue with stick drift continues. I don’t know why Microsoft can’t get this fixed. Anyways, the control feels amazing. I just wouldn’t recommend it for competitive gaming.

    No major complaints about controller cept wish the button inputs where a bit better, especially at the price, but it was my best option to get a cross pad instead of the default Xbox dpad. Best Buy did great though by price matching the Amazon price, so 5 stars to them.
