Probably the most comfortable controller I've used in 30 years of gaming. Hefty, good grip, magnetic paddles and thumbsticks. Only negative is that it doesn't work well with my headset. Consider checking that yours is compatible, but otherwise, go for it.

If you're into gaming this controller really sets the gaming high. I love the customizable settings and separate profiles for different games. Expensive but worth it

This controller might cost a lot but so are the Scuf controllers and that is what this controller is competing with. You can remap every button on it. Like if you want the A button to be the Right Trigger button you can do that, you can't do that with the Scuf controller. It is the best custom controller out foe the Xbox One.

Same old heavy design, introduction of backpedals convenient, have a learning curve/take getting use to, but once muscle memory is achieved it can improve gameplay by freeing up your thumbs. Works well in FPS games.
Still requires batteries, so I no longer have this, I use a Series 2 Elite as it has a built in battery & lasts longer.
If you're thinking of buying this in 2021, just buy the Series 2 Elite controller. Smaller, more ergonomic, internal, longer lasting battery, and overall more durable.

Awesome controller, i really do love everything about it other then the price tag. I'd get the warranty, it's worth it if you use it a lot. Left thumb stick started to stick after about 6 months of heavy use just swapped out for a new one no problem.

Great feel to the controller. I love having the ability to jump, couch, reload etc without taking my thumbs off the joystick. Makes for another control during gaming. Only downfall I've found so far (2 months) is if you don't put it down on a flat surface the paddles will get pushed. No biggie so long as your aware.

This controller is very well built. It's comfortable and well weighted for those long gaming sessions, also much cheaper than purchasing a Scuf Controller considering you get all of the benefits.

Pretty cool controller I like the customization and my only beef is the price I feel like it should be about a $100 controller but that's just my opinion . Also it takes some getting use to due to the new truggers

Casual Dad Gamer - No Regrets on the purchase

Had been looking at this controller for the last year. Never seems to go on much of a sale. My reason for trying it was to have a Dad controller that the kids don't use. Tired of having a gummed up controller from all their grime.
The controller takes some getting used to with the paddles underneath. I wont say it hurts, but you clearly need to adjust your grip or suffer through cramping. (Maybe I am just getting old.) They are easy to take off and I do this for some games.
What I like most is it feels well made, sturdy, not plastic. I have never had a mechanical problem with standard Microsoft made XBOX controllers, but this does feel like a premium product.
Have not used the profiles yet, but nice to know the option is there.
I cannot say that my game play has improved, but no regrets on the purchase.
