    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.

    This controller is pretty hard to use and it definitely isn’t for most people. If you have the money and feel like paddles would be best for you then I would definitely recommend. But, if you are more of a casual player I would say try looking for a cheaper controller.

    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.

    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.
