    A step us from the basic controller. It is mappable, comes with options for sticks and curser pad... don't really use the paddle pads, but see how they could be useful. Happy with my purchase

    Worked good for a few months then dead sticked on the left side. Cost 50 plus shipping to have it fixed because the warranty had expired a few days earlier.

    Very impressed with the build quality of this controller. The ease that you are able to change the sticks, d-pad, and paddles is great. Have not had any issues with it disconnecting like the regular controller.

    This controller is great! After having the Forza edition controller I wanted another one with rubberized grips all the other stuff was just extra and I'm loving every inch of the thing.

    I really like e this controller. It has great weight to it and I love the customizable/ changeable control sticks and D pad. A little on the pricy side, but I am ok with it as I feel it's worth it.

    Bought this a full price. Hold off till the 2nd generation. Definitely the next gen will be worth it. The only problem with if is it has no built in battery. Hopefully I'll be able to use it for the next xbox. But doubt it.

    I use this controller to play competitively and I would say it is 10x better than a scuf controller! I have bought three so far so I would recommend buying the two year warranty! It will be worth it!

    This is a gift for my son and never heard of it until he told me he wants it. He is going to mainly use it for PC games on his TV. After doing my research and reading the reviews I want one for my Xbox.

    Best controller I've ever used. Highly functional with a very modern look and feel. So many different ways to configure and use this controller I don't think there is enough room here to tell all.

    Right off the bat, it does weigh a little more than a standard plastic controller. It's more durable, and the functionality of this controller is awesome. First person shooter games this is a must.

    My son bought the controller and he loves it. The only issue he could think of is that sometimes the paddles under the controller move out while he is playing. He said they don't drop out completely though.

    In my opinion better than scuff and alot cheaper. The app to customize was easy. The weight and quality of material is top notch. Bought two of them I loved them so much. No need to use buttons again.

    $150 for poor quality plastic pieces

    Let me start by saying that I love the usefulness of the controller. This is the only positive thing I can say, though. As I’m sure MANY others have already said, the quality of the controller is horrid. Mostly plastic parts leads to a short lifespan for the bumpers, thumb sticks’ clicking/tracking features, and the charging port’s inner support. Plastic also insures a break if you ever drop it. Glue, I assume, used in holding the textured back grips insures that they will peel off (faster if you’re a long session gamer, sweaty palmer or both). Add all of the above to the fact that the factory Microsoft warranty is only ninety days and the price tag becomes even more questionable. I’ve owned the controller a year and four months or so and these are the things I can see that should be vastly improved, along with making it as liquid proof as possible, in order to match the hefty price tag. I can only recommend the controller if you get a protection plan/better warranty with it.
