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.

    This controller is much better than the original Xbox controllers. It’s heavier, has grips for your palms and much quicker analog stick movement.

    Definitely not an overall improvement from the first generation. Battery life is better, more mapping options, but past that, the buttons feel flimsier than ever, the buttons and bumpers will start to stick no matter how well you take care of it, and they decided to make the removable parts not interchangeable between the generations, just as a power move, don't see any benefit to that

    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!

    Mushy face buttons, mushy trigger even with trigger stop. Quality build, solid feel but razer v3 pro and even the wires tournament edition are leagues above if you want mouse click, instant response on all triggers.

    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.

    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.

    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!
