    I bought this for my son’s 20th birthday. He is happy with it so far. This will be his 3rd one because the joystick keeps going out on them. So hopefully that doesn’t happen with this one.

    I have bought two of these controllers in the past five years, both of them having the same issue. The left and right bumpers eventually stop working. Lost all the knobs and backside triggers. Like the weight of the controller, it reminds you that it's there.

    It's great when it works... but for how long?

    It's easily the best controller on the market... when it works. It worked perfectly for about a year and a half then suddenly I developed severe right stick drift. The Microsoft warranty had expired by about 2 weeks, but they were gracious enough to except it anyways. But it was a hassle getting a quality controller back. They admitted that the drift was so bad it couldn't be replaced, so they sent me a refurbished one (uh oh). On this replacement the "A" button didn't function properly, so it went back again. On the next one, its "A" button also didnt work, so away it went. 3rd time is a charm, right? WRONG. This one had a faulty bluetooth transmitter so I couldn't connect it at all. At this point I finally talked Microsoft into a full refund, which they did. I'm giving it 3 stars because it is hands down the best controller on the market when it works properly, but don't be surprised when it goes it.

He said everything. No more buying batteries...this controller chargers , it customer moves better. He declared this to be the best controller.

    Well constructed, feels premium. Still not sure what to do with the back pedals, but all the buttons function without fuss like other xbox controllers xan sometimes. Would be a 5-star if not for the high cost. If you want the controller of your dreams and can afford it, then it's a great pickup. Otherwise try to wait for a sale

    Much better upgrade from the Elite Series 1, the adjustment to the sensitivity to the joysticks is a much better improvement in adding precision to the shooter genre, always missing all the time. love the battery quality (40 hrs tops) no need to be charging every 4-6 hours and can do my marathon gaming without fear of running out of battery.

    10/10 recommend. The stock controller is fine but I was used to the ps4 rechargeable features built in. I bought the Xbox rechargeable batteries that just plug in to recharge but the battery life was not amazing. This controller has a longer battery life with better buttons and more features than I’ll use. Plus the color is fire.

    controller works amazing. Love the ability to change the most detailed setting and have 4 different setups for different games. Only down side I would say is for the price I wish it would hold up a little better. Buttons seems to wear down the same as a normal controller if not worse sometimes.
