    This controller is hands down the best "pro" quality controller I have used. Lots of controls and the grip in the hands is unmatched!

    For the price its a solid choice, but not for me. The paddles are too easy to click, you have to hold the controller a certain way. Its also a bit heavy for my tastes, battery is non removable. I would say give this a shot and if you dont like it, then go for the scuf instinct pro.

    Is this some kind of sick Joke?

    Is this is some kind of sick joke? I bought last summer and it seemed to be fine then both bumpers stopped working. So I sent it into Microsoft for service under warranty. They sent me back a new controller which when I unpackaged had a completely different issue with the left thumbstick. How can they service the and send back a replacement only to have even more frustrating problems on the first day I opened it. This doesn't belong on the shelf it's not worth half what I paid.

    Annual breaking controller that costs 3 times more

    Costs too much, breaks down too easily, but they have me in a grip because I HAVE to have the back of the controller buttons now. Just get the Best Buy Warranty and get it replaced after a year when it inevitably breaks, so you can buy one every other year than every year.

    Feels good, has good wait and response. Love the features that it offers. Down side is I only had it 8months before the left joystick suffered from terrible drift. In addition I use it for PC and this could be an issue with my computers signal, but it suffers severally from bluetooth connections, ie missing button presses, delayed registering of button presses, or laggy input.
