    My Favorite Xbox Controller

    I prefer the heavier weight and rubberized grip over the plasticy feel of the regular Xbox controller. You can program 3 controller profiles and cycle through them with the center button.

    It is an excellent control for Xbox or PC but it is very expensive. Recommend adding insurance or some type of protection plan. It's better than the old model. It's easy and friendly on the hands, especially when playing for a long period of time.

    The controller is wanted by many, and justifiably so, but many are priced out. The controller is great to hold, great feed back and very customizable. I get 5 hours so far without charging (I play shooters), and leave it on while consuming media content.

    Controller feels very well put together. The grip is very nice and includes a wide range of customization straight out of the box. I really enjoy the heavier duty sticks and trigger stops that can be swapped on the fly. Really great controller.

    Bought this as a gift for a friend and they absolutely love it. Remappable back buttons, adjustable tension sticks, and you can cycle between full throw triggers and hair triggers. Its good value for the price.

    I love this controller, it's one of the best out to a point. If your a hardcore gamer get the 2 year warranty. This controller will get stick drift, button. With all that i still love this controller.

    XBOX Controller

    So far, the joystick doesn't have stick drift. I will touch back when stick drift finally sets in. The buttons are removable and customizeable which is great. Sometimes I can't find my controller because it is black. As long as the controller can handle GTA6 when it comes out, I will be fine with it.

    I love this controller! Yes it is expensive. But it is heavy and sturdy. Almost everything can be replaced (like the thumb sticks). Battery life is amazing too. I can play Cyberpunk all day and it doesn’t lose power. I love this bad boy and gave it a nickname. Lol. JK.
