    The rubber padding on the back is known to start to peel off. Took my first one a year, but lo and behold, it started to. Also, my RB button randomly decided to snap. My regular xbox controllers seem to last longer.

    The only reason I would buy another controller is if they came out with a newer model. This is the best of the best.

    At first I hated it, because I tried putting all four flippers on and activated them, but that is a major brain killer! Start with one paddle at a time then work your way up, if you hate it right away. I personally just installed the short ones and mapped them to A for jump for Overwatch, because that's all that is needed for that game. The stick mods are great and the stick reaction mods are great too! The only thing that sucks is you can't snap the accessories app to do a quick button map mod.

    Xbox One already has great controllers, so this is a splurge item. But the quality is definitely top notch.

    I wasn't sure what to expect, $150 for a controller seems quite high. But with Best Buy's incredible return policy I knew I could try it and if it didn't live up to the hype return it. The customization of this controller is insane, it is very easy to set up using the Xbox Accessories App. Not only can you remap the buttons and d-pad but you can change the sensitivity of the thumbsticks and bumpers. After setting it up for my 2 main games I know feel that at $150 I got a deal. Highly recommend!

    I have had the controller for a couple of months. It works great. The configurable design and dual use is nice. The only negative, I still think it's a little expensive.
