    This is by far the best controller I have ever owned. The charge lasts a long time and is so easy to use.

    Second Controller purchased in two years. The price being so high makes it frustrating that it didn't last longer.

    This thing is a monster! I immediately noticed a completely different change in my gameplay with this remote. The thumb sticks are all cool and the paddles are dope. Very happy with the remote and would recommend to freinds!

    Only major issue is that windows does not like connecting to xbox controllers via Bluetooth I just have a lot of issues. Otherwise this is a great control, lots of customization, and the vase and magnetic charging mount are great

    This controller feels great! The texture grips help keep your hands on the controller! The rear buttons make it better for multiplayer games so that you can also be slightly ahead of your enemy!

    I’m not having a good time

    This controller feels great in the hand, has excellent features (hair triggers and custom profiles) and excellent accessories but has one massive dealbreaker. It won’t register 1 out of every 5-10 button presses. Initially I thought it was my fault. “Maybe I’m still acclimating to the new controller and not pressing the button properly”. I know that’s a stupid thought but when you buy a $100+ controller, surely that can’t be the source of the problem. Well, it is. Google it. You’ll see it’s widespread and there’s no fix. Microsoft support will tell you to update the controller firmware. That’s nice but never once had that made the problem less noticeable. If you bought directly from the Microsoft store you’ll be able to send it back to them for a warranty replacement. That’s good I guess.. but should there really be so many forum posts about replacing $100 peripheral? Ok, so how bad is a few missed key presses? Do you play shooters? Imagine doing everything right and taking your time to set up an ambush only to get wrecked because your controller literally said “ lol what?” My recommendation, skip this altogether and spend money on a ps4 or xb1 controller and use them with the usb cable. They’re lightweight, familiar in the hand and they’ll listen to you.
