Customers are saying

Customers are delighted by the controller's exceptional overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options. Users also frequently praise the device's comfortable grip, balanced weight, and high-quality tactile feel. However, some customers have expressed concerns regarding the durability of the buttons and bumpers, as well as the early onset of stick drift. Despite these technical frustrations and the premium price point, many still consider it a top-tier gaming accessory.

    I got the Series 2 on Oct. 6, 2020 and had plenty of the first versions. - Double tapping the sync button doesn't turn off the paddle buttons anymore like the first version did. - The profile/configuration button also does Default. So there is ACTUALLY 4 layouts not 3. "In my opinion it should go Default when double tapping the sync button." - The top paddles are way smaller and feel closer to the bottom paddles making it easy to mis-press. + The grip feels stronger with the texture on the triggers. + The third trigger lock makes it easier to get a good fire rate quick with a pistol. + Adjusting thumbsticks' tension with a tool was a brilliant idea to add. But the Xbox Accessories App is the REAL IMPORTANT thing for me, not the controller itself. I'd suggest to look up information about using the controller with the app to see if you'd like it or not.
