    IMO, these controllers are a game changer. I set the paddles in the back to correspond with the A, B, X, Y buttons, so I never have to use my right thumb for those buttons. And you can custom map all the buttons on the controller, and save them as a profile to load into the 3 slots for quick change outs. It's nice for those games that only give you preset control options.

    This broke after only two months. The right joystick, which I never use, spins freely when centered, and gets stuck when I move it up. Microsoft warranty is worthless as it costs $49 for shipping and parts. It lists specific parts but I don't even know if that will fix it. This is the most I have paid for a controller and have been very careful with it. My old, generic XBox controller lasted for years.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    This controller is super awesome. It paired easily with my computer and my Xbox Series X. I love the look and design. The magnetic replaceable buttons are very cool. The only downside is the "grip" texture on it isn't very grippy. Luckily I found a company called Lizard Skins that makes a grip that will go over it that makes this controller feel amazing.

    Just buy it! It’s a great controller with back levers you can program. It has a number of profiles you can save on the controller. Three profiles you can rotate to quickly. It’s very responsive and has quickly become my favorite controller!
