    Yup. It feels good to use it and the bottom triggers make a difference. I didn't notice much difference between the series 1 and series 2, so I don't know that it's worth paying to replace if you own one already.

    Very good controller but it seems to have too much stick drift for being a brand new controller. I looked online to see if other people were having this issue and it turns out a lot of people have had this issue over the last year. Microsoft extended their warranty up to a year for the controller instead of the 90 days they first established but this issue should have been fixed.

    Made sense if I was a competitive gamer. It’s hard to reason keeping this for the casual user. The thumb sticks and paddles though….
