    It's expensive yes, but you can customize it to your specs for any game. The built-in battery is nice, but also a burden. Buy this controller.

    I’ve had this one for quite some time now. No issues with stick drift yet, can be pretty difficult to keep clean though. All in all, great product.

    I finally decided to buy this controller and i love the options this controller allows you to configure. I play call of duty modern warefare on the xbox and i wanted an extra perk. This control allows me to configure the paddles to slide, duck, laydown and jump without having to move my right thumb. If you are good enough or get use to using the paddles you can fly through the game. Its fun to innovate and change up the standard experience in these games. I would recommend it if you have the money to upgrade your controller.

    Great controller for small hands

    Works like a charm. Tested with Windows PC, SteamDeck, and NVIDIA shield. Flawless connection. If you want to enable the levers you will have to buy the additional set for the paddles. This is only the controller itself. Works well with small hands, I am somewhat doubtful if this is very comfortable with large hands.

    Completely love the feel of this controller. Easy to hold. Very heavy compared to others. Works great for cross platform with the eight bit duo. If you have a program properly to be recognized as the different series, Xbox controller works well for Sniper games.

    Completely changes how you game. I primarily use it for FPS, and with the heightened thumbsticks your aim can increase substantially. The paddles give you the ability to never remove your thumb from the joystick, which is mainly why I got this one, and is a huge plus. The ability to customize trigger sensitivity and stop position also helps a lot. The overall build is very well constructed. No issues structurally what so ever. I highly recommend this controller if you want to give yourself a little extra edge in your gameplay.

    I still have 2 xbox 360s, 2 xbox ones, 1 xbox one s, and also an xbox one x along with all the original controllers. They all still work really well. Only two of the ten old controllers have a slight issue with drift. They are standard stock controllers. This series 2 has such fantastic feel to it. Loved playing with it. But it seems to have slowly acquired all the problems I've read about online. Only 5 months after purchase, it performs worse than my oldest stock 50 dollar controller. Stick drifting, buttons non reactive whenever it feels like it, and disconnecting blue tooth or even hard wired. I love all of my xbox equipment, but sad to say, i wouldn't recommend this controller until Microsoft can fix the many issues it has. Microsoft should reassess where this is manufactured and consider giving the contract for it to a more qualified manufacturer.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
