    Reliable sturdy controller. I have heard complaints about stick drift, but the 2 I have had didn't have any. Also, if you do have stick drift, you can always adjust it in the device settings on the Xbox. I tend to set the paddles to the joystick clicks as it seems more natural to click things this way. I have to admit, it is a luxury item, but if you play a lot, it is worth it.

    The feel and weight of this controller is terrific. I personally love the rubber grips on the handle and the clickiness of the dpad.

    Love this controller, use it on the Xbox but now just Use it to play some PC Games with it where it doesn’t make a difference to use keyboard and mouse and or use it as a hybrid setup with keyboard & mouse. Has a high quality feel to it, extra controller functions, no regrets purchasing this controller. We have 2 of these controllers, both work like new even with heavy use,

    My teenager goes through lots of controllers, we get the insurance so its not really an issue. Summer break just started, so far this controller holds up for some massive brutal game sessions as i can hear him throughout the house but haven't seen him in days!

    The only thing stopping me giving this a 5/5 is Microsofts poor QC on these controllers. The bumpers or buttons will end up always going out on you. Other than that they're excellent controllers

    I had 2 of the regular xbox wireless controllers... they served their time & purpose. BUT when you open the packaging up and see/feel this bad boy....oh my what an upgrade. The case/charging station setup is pure genius. Also you Can remove the charging base from the case.... But why? The cable goes in through the to of the closed case and your good....chargin

    I’m a dual shock remote player and surprisingly this remote is high quality and feels very good in the hands. Don’t think I will be going back to dual shock after playing with this remote. Buttons feel great and feels amazing in the hands.
