    I enjoy the ability to set up profiles for different games that you can swap between. Granted its only three slots but it is easy to swap them out within the app in the settings. Definitely recommend to a competitive gamer out there to give you an edge in the field.

    We got this to replace an elite controller that our kids dropped. This is every bit worth the money if you like to gaming. It takes a moment to get use to the paddles but once you do there’s no going back. Worth the money. Having the ability to select different settings for different games and have them programmed is epic!

    This controller is the absolute worst controller i have ever had because once you get it, it becomes the only control you'll ever want to use. The pnly way i can know something is wrong with this controller is if someone make a better one.

    This has been the best controller I’ve ever purchased. The build quality is outstanding. Very sturdy and has a nice weight to it. The built in battery makes it so much easier than traditional controllers. The rear-facing “fully mappable” toggles can really give you a competitive edge in multiplayer gaming. Works perfectly on both my Xbox and PC. Can be a little difficult for some to get used to the rear toggles and while they are removable it’s so worth it to get used to. They built this model perfectly!

    I bought one of these because the last several regular controllers i bought have all had issues with either the a button or the right trigger. I thought for the extra money it had to be better. Well, not really. If your not going to use the extra mappable paddle buttons on the back I don't really think this controller is a worthwhile upgrade.

    Feels good in my hand when playing video games. I like the extra functionality that the paddles add. It feels a little heavy, but not enough to bother long play sessions.

    This is such a smooth, high quality & responsive controller! I had a series 1 controller but spilled my beer on it (when I was being chased by a 13 year old during a furious COD match). This new controller feels great in the hands and the ability to program it creates all sorts of awesome options! Love this thing!

    Great controller for Xbox games. I use it for all of my games, but bought it especially for Call of Duty since it has several adjustable components. I do not mind skipping the extra joysticks and charging case, so I did not need to spend more money on the more expensive elite controller.
