    I purchase this to replace my wired XBox 360 controller for the PC. As my review title states, this is a great buy. The Build quality is superb, this really complements my Razer Blade Stealth and I also use this for the Project XCloud. I really cannot complain anything, some will say the price, but as noted the quality is excellent. I recommend this for people who likes to play games and have a job to actually buy it without whining.

    So when I finally got my hands on the series x I bought a second controller so my son and I could play. The x box controllers are great! This controller is a total game changer. If you play FPS games having those paddles on the back will automatically up your game. This thing feels rock solid! I love that you can set the trigger distance, that was a big plus! Bottom line I would have went straight to this controller! It rocks!

    It's expensive yes, but you can customize it to your specs for any game. The built-in battery is nice, but also a burden. Buy this controller.

    Pros - it is a great feeling controller with a lot of options. It takes a little getting use to the paddles underneath, but once you do you will not want to go back. Cons - it seems to not be as quick to respond as it states. I play a lot of CoD and it seems to have a slightly slower response time than a $180 controller should have. Overall - I like it. I wish it were a bit less expensive, but it is a nice controller.

    I had to replace my previous controller because of wear. It’s nice that the core is available so I don’t have to buy everything else that comes with it since I already own them. The controller itself is my favorite, most customizable in my opinion.

    For what u paid for (used) it’s great! Unfortunately I was expecting to come in its original box but didn’t, which it’s still ok. It came with everything, the controller was spotless and scratch less too! But, as I expected for a used item, the left trigger had some registering problems on its lowest setting, besides that the rest of the controller works perfectly.

    Excellent controller! Can feel the quality that went into the product. Much better fit to the hand vs the original control from an Xbox one. Best Buy did an amazing job at answering all of my questions did so with a positive attitude and huge smile. Kudos to Microsoft for the remote design and Best Buy for thir amazing service!

    I finally decided to buy this controller and i love the options this controller allows you to configure. I play call of duty modern warefare on the xbox and i wanted an extra perk. This control allows me to configure the paddles to slide, duck, laydown and jump without having to move my right thumb. If you are good enough or get use to using the paddles you can fly through the game. Its fun to innovate and change up the standard experience in these games. I would recommend it if you have the money to upgrade your controller.

    I hate giving this a 3 but its only because i had 2 of these in 1 year. I bought one the stick locked up , easily exchanged it because of warranty and the new one locked up in less then a week. Now the plus is its easy to set up and it has multiple sticks that work well with my thumbs. But for being the Xbox brand, im disappointed

    This is by far the best looking and most simplistic controller to use. The hair triggers are a phenomenal design to enhanced your gaming experience. All the customization with the paddles, thumb-sticks, etc is a plus.
