    This is the best controller I've ever held in my hand. Super responsive and has features that I never knew I would want. It's a little pricey, but worth the money if you can afford it

    Only been a short time with this controller in my hands. I have played Division 2, Dauntless, Slime Rancher and more with this controller. I bought an open box because it was cheaper. First and foremost, I don't hear cracking and crunching in stressful moments like I do with ordinary controllers. The weight adds surprising comfort and helps me feel like I have a bit more control. I love the rounded thumb sticks. They have saved my thumbs a lot of agony, lol. I could go on, but again, only had this controller for a short while at this point so time will tell.

    I was a bit nervous spending this amount on a controller but after using it I don't regret it at all!! It has customizable button maping and interchangeable joysticks and D-pad.

    This controller is a game changer. Word of caution though: If you use this controller, every other controller will feel like a piece of junk. This controller solidified me to use my Xbox as my primary while my PS4 and Switch now collect dust until exclusives arrive. Advice: Geek Squad is a must for this controller. It's not flimsy per say, but it is expensive and will wear and tear depending on use. I had mine for almost two years and the rubber grip was coming off. I walked into Best Buy and got a brand new one right then and there. I put Geek Squad on that new bad boy ASAP.

    Fit and finish is second to none. The weight is perfect and texture is great. Mapping buttons to the lower paddles greatly improve game play especially for FPS games.

    Many people would ask why spend $150 for a controller and to be honest this controller is amazing specially in shooting games. I’ll say it’s worth the money

    By far the highest quality you can get. Light years beyond special edition controllers way better than modded controllers. This is the one to dump all your money in!!

    Works great. My only complaint is within less than a year the joy stick is working funky, but having dropped it a few times I cannot rule out the fact I could have caused it. A very great controller excluding that variable.

    the functionality of the product is designed for more avid gamers. its multiple buttons and remaping capabilities are excellent. It is a very sturdy platform. Warning the thumbsticks come off fairly easy and may lead to lost pieces.

    When using the Xbox Accessories app that goes with the controller, this thing has great customization capabilities, along with the obvious extra quick-detach bumpers/controls.
