Great controller, some build quality issues
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I can’t stress this enough: buy the protection plan. I’ve read numerous reviews on some models having design flaws, stick float, etc. Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE this controller, but I would hate to spend $180 on one and not have it work after the 90-day Microsoft warranty runs out. My first didn’t charge on the base, current one seems flawless.

Series 2 seriously awesome
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best controller I’ve ever used way better than the first generation no separation in the padding and almost no stick drift even after weeks/ months of use I generally replace mine once a year anyways but this is amazing
I would recommend this to a friend Good weight and grip
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The feel and weight of this controller is terrific. I personally love the rubber grips on the handle and the clickiness of the dpad.

Excellent controller, just take good care of it
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you game a lot, this is worth the price. Very high quality. Although like all Microsoft controllers, don't drop it, the bumpers aren't particularly durable. I don't think I'd recommend it for kids who might not be careful with it.

Nice quality for a premium $
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very expensive controller but huge improvement over the base controller. I love mapping buttons to the bottom but really only keep one paddle on the controller to keep it daily useable. Stick feel is great charges easily and with the charger built into the case it’s easy to put it up at night and have a fully charged controller when I’m ready to use it.

Well Made - See if it Stands the Test of Time
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’m actually rather impressed with the build quality of this controller. I bought it because I keep having a problem with my triggers getting stuck on all my other controllers, and so far I haven’t had any problems. We’ll see if it keeps up, but so far it’s been great! Only reason it’s 4/5 is the price. Quite expensive unless you buy open box like I did.
