    This is the only controller I use. The weight feels nice in your hands while playing. However, I recommend getting the extended warranty on this. I had to send mine in for a replacement under warranty because the LB button was not responsive, which is a known issue. I received my replacement quickly, with no out-of-pocket costs, and the new one works perfectly. I also like that this controller can be used for other things, like adjusting the volume on my tv.

    I was initially hesitant to purchase because of cost. Price is only downside but if you want the best this is it. Could never go back to standard controller after using this, everything else feels like a toy.

    Controller is good compared to the regular Xbox controllers, however after 10 months the right bumper started to give out, luckily I had the geek squad replacement plan, so I got a new one. Hopefully the new one will last a bit longer

    Seems like they develope stick drift after a year of use. If you get one treat it really well and make sure you get a warrenty. Best buy will charge a $30 fee when you replace them even if you are total tech customer so beware. I really like the controller besides the issues.

    I have bought these controllers mutiple times and i will say there is a bitter sweet relationship with them. They allow for an overall better gaming performance for sure but much like all other controllers stick drift is a major issue after awhile, and if you can fix it then it can last for a few years, but eventually the wear starts to become apparent like with all other things.

    This controller has sveral more functions than the standard remote which makes it more entertaining while playing games. Giving you more abilites and control of the game makes it well worth the money. The battery lasts a long time and I have not had it die on me yet. I definitely recommed.

    So far so good. Ive mixed reviews about this item but decide to take the plunge (and getting the warranty just in case). It's been working great to far. It doesn't have the same issue that the OEM rechargable battery has. I haven't ran out of juice on this controller even after multiple days of usage with charging it. The build feels nice. I like a heavier controller, and the triggers and definitely nice to have. Is it life changing? No. Is it a gimmick? Also no. It's just a fancier controller with a. Few added features which are nice to have. Hopefully MSFT has had the time to fix the kinks.

    If you can afford it, get it! Amazing! Customizable! Loving it! Great package. Case even has magnetic charger within it. Feels perfect. Paddles take some time to get a feel for but then fit in flawlessly.
