    I'm still getting used to having the paddles on the back, I was hitting them by mistake. So I took the 2 big ones off and only use the 2 smalls in the top slots. What I like most is the versatility and options. It's solid and the battery lasts so far.

    I’m not an intense gamer with shooters so I can’t fully apeak to the durability issues that others have had but its a solid well built controller & I’m happy with it.

    This is truly a “game” changer for sure. You can customize it to your liking. The paddles make it more functional.

    If you are looking for a pro controller that is easily adaptable and has a long lasting battery, this is the controller to get. Most buttons are replaceable, there many ways to customize, easy to change configurations, you forget don't have to charge as often.

    Will never buy a regular controller again. Feels solid works well and last longer then the base controllers by far bought one for everyone in the family after having mine since launch and playing 20-30 hours a week on it

    Used it for 2 days and buttons are sticky and the wireless connection is bad. This is a known issue that microsoft is aware of, this is not an issue with best buy, but with the product. I will be returning and getting a normal controller. This hassle is unfortunately not worth the price. I live the weight and the build of the controller, the ability to adjust the stick stifness was a prime selling point for me

    I love the controller and all the customizable things but my stick is already drifting. Get the protection plan for sure! The internal battery and the 40 hour battery life is my favorite part

    Such a nice upgrade from the standard controllers. I havent really done anything with custom programming or the extra triggers as of yet but it feels so good in my hands that even if i never do its still worth it.

    The weight, the triggers, the sticks... everything is on a different level. Comes w a charging case & a bunch of different add ons. Justifies the price. Heard about durability issues, but I’m sure if you put it back in it’s case you should be good.
