    The Best Controller I have ever owned. Great Battery Life, Great Feel and customizable! I was skeptical at first because of price, but I got it on sale and should have purchased it sooner! If you are considering it, don't hesitate, just buy it!

    Its comfortable, sturdy and well made. The customization options are really worth it, especially being able to adjust tension on the joysticks. Being able to change things for your playing style is well worth it. The cost is a bit high though.

    This controller has been awesome so far, I really like that you can change the tension in the thumb sticks. Textured grip is great for sweaty hands too. Battery life is great. It’s expensive but whatever I love it so far. Get some geek squad protection just in case

    The things I like is the solid feeling it has, the full grip in the handles, buttons are more responsive, the sticks pressure can be changed, it is Bluetooth compatible, has a rechargeable battery and a charging stand, and much more customizations and joysticks compared to the first version.

    Great controller. I bought this for my shooting games Call of Duty and Destiny. I would recommend configuring the controller through the Xbox accessories tab whenever you make adjustments on the controller itself.

    Love the dimming of the home button. Really long lasting battery. But the A X B and Y button felt unresponsive. I was soft to push them as I'm not trying to damage the buttons. I had to press unusually hard to get the buttons to work. But definitely heart breaking when your dogs get to it. :'(

    The back buttons are so useful for call of duty and the rechargeable battery eliminates the need for AA batteries. Pricey but worth it and it doesn’t come with the peddles.

    This is the best feeling and working controller I have ever used. Using the paddles in RPG's really changes the game, not just for racing. Battery like is incredible. oh the stiffness.

    Great build quality and excellent battery life. I'm also thankful that you can easily remove the hair triggers from underneath as I have a tendency to accidentally hit them when playing. Comes with a nice little docking station too for charging. I feel they should release another version without the stand, hair triggers, extra sticks/D-pad, and case and it would drop the price significantly. The difference between this and the regular Xbox controller is so significant it seems there should be a product in the middle. In any case, this is simply the best PC gamepad you can buy right now however it DOES NOT come with the USB wireless adapter so you have to purchase that separately. I already had one so it wasn't a big deal for me but I can expect some people to be very upset when they pay that amount of money and then can't use it wirelessly on their PC.

    by far one of the best controllers i've owned. I used to play with the PDP xbox controller with the mappable buttons on the back but stick drift on those are the worst after 2 weeks of using. and custom controllers from online such as scuf are too expensive. For the price I got for these, which was the open box-excellent, it felt brand new still and I got it for a steal with the price plus the discounts I got from my points here at bestbuy. so if you were to upgrade your xbox controller, this is the one to go for!! DID I MENTION, there are 3 different button profiles you can save for different types of games??! wish I got it sooner but glad i made the investment on this, LOVE IT!!!

    I'm not sure if the price is worth it - but that is subjective. It's a great controller. Feels good in the hand - feels substantial. Many options to customize the feel. Battery life is great. I use with with my Windows PC without any major issues. Sometimes it disconnects but then reconnects really quickly.
