    I can not express how convenient this controller is. How easy it is to use and change the physical attributes on the fly. Programming the remaps within a separate application is not ideal; however one can setup multiple profiles and change the color of the power button to indicate which profile goes with which button layout. It's a bit heavy; but overall, Microsoft killed it with this one! Worth every penny.

    the controller it self is amazing with the ability of swapping out the sticks is amazing but i really wished it was bluetooth to IOS apple unfortunately it’s not , which sucks because there’s many games out there that are supporting controllers, but this didn’t made the cut which is fine but would be an amazing game breaking moment, in all its a awesome controller i haven’t got any problems just yet, & the game pass bonus is quite amazing it self, in all, awesome controller would be amazing with the bluetooth connections as it can be taken to huge levels, in all amazing -B.
