    This controller is great for playing xbox in a competitive way! My first series 2 had a few issues with bumpers, but now I have this one and it’s working great. I definitely suggest the geek squad protection to help with any shortages or stickiness to the buttons.

    My Favorite Xbox Controller

    I prefer the heavier weight and rubberized grip over the plasticy feel of the regular Xbox controller. You can program 3 controller profiles and cycle through them with the center button.

    The controller is great i like the quick profile change and the weight of it. The extra paddles on the back are a nice addtion compared to only having one set on the ps controller.

    More durable than the elite 2 though a little lighter and it doesnt come with the case paddles sticks and d pad, those extras would net you the same price for the whole bundle anyway plus colors. Ive been abusing this thing on multiple high intensity games for a while and no broken bumpers or anything. Sticks arent aligned right though. So micro adjustments are hard but using the tall stick/controlfreeks fixes this for the most part. Now my hand doesnt cramp playing claw and of course double the control over everything 9/10

    Bought this for my husband for Christmas. I don’t know much about these things but he loves it. I tested it also and noticed the texture is like soft silicone plus the added weight from the steel material feels good in your hand. Easy to modify. Overall a great purchase !

    If you want a better controller than the already good Xbox controller, this is it. Any tech site you search will say the same thing. The biggest pros are 1. Thumbstick and paddles customization 2. Battery back up 3. Wireless charging 4. In built battery 5. Save 3 profiles The cons are 1. The price. This is too overpriced. Like, too much. I bought this in sale and still think it's pricey. Sucks. I don't have bottomless wallets. Maybe I am just whining. 2. Despite having apparently excellent build quality, durability still seems to be an issue as reported by various outlets. Please don't take my word for it. Do your research. 3. Wireless connection stutters when battery drops below 30%. This is jarring and makes me switch controllers while I charge this.

    When i saw this controller available AND discounted i did not hesitate. Several people have told me what a great peripheral this is and they weren't lying. Superb build quality, extra buttons, customization, rechargeable, beautiful, comfortable and precise!
