Customers are saying

Customers express satisfaction with the product's great overall performance, impressive battery life, and extensive customization options, along with its comfortable feel and good weight. However, a significant concern among users is the prevalence of stick drift and issues with button quality, particularly with the bumpers and A button. The price is also a point of hesitation for some.

    Not much to say here. It's an excellent, if pricey controller. I'm using it for gaming on my phone mostly, but it works great on my laptop as well for the two games that I use it with.

    The title says it all... although this was a little more than I planed on paying for a controller I do not regret the purchase one bit. The only slight complaint is that it is pretty heavy and you start to notice during longer gaming sessions. The weight speaks to the quality of the build it does not feel like a cheap piece of plastic in your hands. I use it for gaming on my PC, getting it initially configured was a breeze and I have had zero issues with reconnecting or any issues with disconnects either. Love it!

    They really impressed me with the construction of this controller. Seems heavier and better built than other years-but not so heavy that It’s tiresome holding it. It has all the bells and whistles needed to shoot down all the bad guys- to My kids love it!

    Best controller on the market!

    By far the best controller on the market for any system! Hands down 1,000x better than standard Xbox controller and blows away the PS5 controller too. Thumbsticks have a perfect balance of smooth and tight. Buttons have a very satisfying n mechanical click. The variable triggers make it so easy to switch between a short travel for shooters and a long travel for racing or throttle based games

    Great controller over all but if you are going to be playing competitive games there are some issues. The left stick click sometimes doesn’t register if you have the stick pushed all the way up or down. Can get VERY annoying if this is something done a lot, which in my case it is. Everything else is great but I would love to have seen mouse click triggers. Not a bad controller but could be better!

    Makes gaming better. The adjustable trigger travel makes this controller ideal for FPS games and the grips are very comfortable. I did have the typical sticky A button issue but after a day of game play the issue resolved itself

    So having owned the series 1, this has some great enhancements and Microsoft listened. Major improvements is now 3 instead of 2 trigger lengths, enhancements to deeper control of the sticks, and the battery life with awesome charger. Highly recommend!

    This controller was high on my son’s Christmas list, & he has enjoyed it ever since. I also purchased one for my husband. He has not put it down since the day I bought it. If you have avid gamers in your house. They will definitely enjoy this controller.
