    The ability to change the thumb sticks make this a real upgrade although the paddles on the back take time to get used to.

    I have only been able to use the controller a few times but so far has been excellent. The almost unlimited configurations for different games/player styles makes it very versatile. The button mapping is very easy and informative. I would/have recommended to other X Box players.

    As most Xbox controllers, stick drift comes fast and is unavoidable. Outside of that, it’s pretty good

    Either my luck is bad, or the quality control of these controls are just plain awful. First purchased the controller at Best Buy Online, shipped to home (in record time), and as soon as I started using it, buttons would not register and would stick when pressing. Back to Best Buy for a refund because well...the stock just doesn't exist! Fast forward, Microsoft Store Online had the controller for sale. Hoped for better luck directly through them. WRONG! Same issue, buttons not registering, and sticking. Tried to go through Microsoft for an exchange but... Microsoft doesn't do exchanges, no instead they expect you to send the controller to them, they "repair" it an send it back to you, 10 to 15 days! A brand new, not even a day old controller has to be sent back for additional repairs. Do they perform RMA's and send a replacement while you send yours back...no they don't. If it was say 3 months of use I can justify that, but not straight out of the packaging and it's defective. The person running that whole show should be fired for backing up such ignorant policies. Be warned, this controller has seen many issues since launch, Microsoft chooses to ignore it, their customer support is by far the worst in the world (put on hold 4 times then hung up, wrong case numbers given, no e-mail correspondence). The only saving grace is Best Buy's exceptional return policy.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
