    This is an amazing controller, the pieces are very heavy duty and I love that it comes with different joysticks in various heights. This controller is definitely with the money. There are 3 different settings you can change what buttons do depending on which game you’re playing.

    I bought this controller a while back, and it simply has not been worth the purchase. For a controller this expensive to have widespread critical functionality issues like this one does is inexcusable. The left analog stick malfunctions and slows your movement speed in-game to a crawl. The bumpers lose sensitivity until they just stop functioning altogether. It's a shame, because this was the best controller I've ever used, but only for about 6 months before these issues cropped up. With the warranty being a mere 90 days, I do not recommend this product to anyone. If you want a high end controller, try anything but this one.

    I would’ve gave it a 5 star but the controller is a little stiff and some buttons you gotta push hard to work. Other than that it’s a great controller.

    The controller is great the charge time is quick while also having a really long play time with the controller. The interchangeable parts to the controller are nice, although I don’t use the pads it’s still a great controller.

    Yes it's a bit pricey, but for the feel, the durability and the changeable options, it's worth it. One of the best controllers I've owned.

    My son has the white pro controller and have always been a little jealous. When I saw that it came in red, I had to get it. Plus I saved some money with buying an open box.

    The trigger locks are the best feeling tiggers I've ever had on any pro controller I've owned and I've had a bunch of series 1 elites and they don't come close to the series 2 IMO. Overall a very good controller if you have the extra cash to spend but well worth it if your looking for a good competitive controller.

    Overall it’s a great controller for fps games beyond that I stick to my standard controller. This is the second one I’ve owned and the back paddles tend to stick and tabs eventually break. Beyond that it’s what I use on a daily.
