    This xbox controller is perfect pretty much. Xbox controllers in general are the best in my opinion as far as feel in the hands and stick placement. It just feels great to use. And this the newest version of the basic Xbox controller is amazing. You can't go wrong with it. It's perfect for shooters especially

    Love the new Screen shot button! Makes captures easy. The new gripping aspect is very nice, less slipping in heated moments. Super easy to connect to system. 1 issue i have found is the triggers (LT & RT) sticking. Discovered the sticky cushion pads inside may have been installed crooked or heat from play may have caused the pads to slip out of position. This pad allows for quiet play, without out the sounds of the triggers being used. By removing the cushions, no more sticking. However, you can now hear those buttons being used. Toss up of quiet play or non sticking buttons.
