    Love it!!! Have the series one, and was ready for an upgrade. I love the smaller back paddles as you can grip the controller better. My only complaint is that I enjoy using the domed thumb sticks and this only came with one not two like the first series. Ordered one from Amazon, when I get it this will be the perfect controller.

    Purchased this for my son’s birthday while it was on sale before christmas. his birthday is the second week of January, and the controller was nicely priced at around $104 or something like that. The controller worked great, out of the box, but come back a week later and it is dead. No biggie, but long story short, after trying to charge it for a few days, still not working, so go to take it back and was denied by Best Buy. They said I should have purchased the $50 extended warranty or some such. Disappointed to say the least. Wont be purchasing from Best Buy again. That same day, purchased new washer (not from BB though)…

    Amazing controller, perfect while it works and the best there is available. The warranty was extended from 45 days to 1 year from Microsoft. It’s a shame Microsoft used the potentiometers used in order Xbox, Nintendo and Xbox controllers that also have drift issues in these.

    Great controller, use it almost everyday, the button mapping in it is very user friendly and very useful, and having 3 different setting for the mapping also helps alot.

    This is an incredibly well done accessory. It's intuitive, well thought out, and eminently premium. At $179, it costs a pretty penny, but even then it includes built in charging dock that's integrated into a travel case, so there's even more value then a stock controller.

    Alright so for the price I say it’s pretty good. I actually got it at a slight discount so that’s a bigger win for me in my opinion. The controller is solid the extra stuff it comes with is awesome and the fact it’s rechargeable is perfect. I haven’t had any issues with it so far. I would recommend it!

    Probably Best you can get on the market. However, it’s really heavy, and kind of slippery. And a touch too small for my hands.

    I didn’t think the controller was worth it. After using it for a few hours and getting use to the extra controls I am not able to go back to a standard controller. This controller has helped me tremendously. I recommend this to anyone trying to get a slight advantage in game.

    One of the best controllers I’ve ever used. The ability to reconfigure your button mapping is amazing. If you have the money to waste on a gaming controller, this is the one to buy.
