    I think this controller is a step in the right direction for Xbox, because this controller here feels and handles more like an elite controller. The movements are flawless and effortless, plus the battery last longer and you charge the controller by putting it back in its case! It also shows the battery balance that let you know it's time to recharge!

    I game everyday for a long time and the controller has always gave me the best performance! I was really iffy about buying this one because the series 1 did not last and was messing up all the time. I got this with the 2 year protection and was happy with the feel and durability of the controller. recommend the protection because you never know when these things can go bad!

    It fills so smoothly, heavy and solid, it’s really different experience. Even if you don’t you down pads you need to have one, sticks moving so smooth and accurate. I love it, perfect. I dont have too much time for gaming, but it still great.

    The only think i have an issue with is that the RB and LB buttons seem to always have some issue. So I would recommend protection.

    Amazing controller great software but will take long time to get used to for your hand from using a normal controller. Also make sure to check all the buttons work and there’s no stick drift these controllers have a bad history of it right out the box.

    Excellent controller. I bought the first generation when it came out and a Geek Squad warranty (which was, and still is with any gaming peripheral, a necessity) and had to replace it multiple times. This controller, however, they improved DRASTICALLY on the quality. Same great features as the first generation, just updated and perfected this time around.
