    Pretty Good for shooters like COD, Destiny and Battlefield 1. But definitely takes some getting used to. I heard that the parts break pretty quickly but I haven't had any problems yet. I still bought the warranty just in case ;)

    I have had 2 of these controllers now and each one the LB bumper wears out and falls off within a week or two (this is under heavy gaming conditions) It's an ok fix as I've started to use the paddles in the back to replace it. But still Microsoft fails again to make a perfect quality product. This controller is also extremely pricy. The only reason I give this controller 3 stars is because other than the LB button the rest of the controller is rock solid. Feels good to hold (a little heavy) and the other buttons and joysticks are virtually wear proof. The paddles in the back are really nice and the controller is so customizable it will make your head spin.

    . The Xbox one controller was already comfortable in hand but with interchangeable parts and complete button remapping this controller just became the best controller on the market.

    Love the controller, hate the time that they last. My back bottom button is already working intermittently. I guess its a good thing they offer protection plan on these.

    I bought this controller so I would have two. The first one I bought over a year ago. It is still working great where as the regular controller would only last about 3 months.

    Really enjoyed this controller, lasted me a little over a year, then the rubber bits and bumpers did begin to deteriorate. Highly recommend the 2 year geek squad warranty. Otherwise, very happy with the purchase

    Do not buy this without the added warranty from the store you purchase it from. It has parts that may fail and getting a replacement is nice as it's a quality product

    I got this specific controller instead of a scuff for First Person shooter specifically because of Best Buy's protection plan. Controllers always inevitably go down. It's great and has many features for more in depth gameplay.
