    Definitely an improvement over last gen’s controller. Feels great in the hands and the subtle changes just make the controller feel more natural to hold. No issues with stick drift or unresponsive buttons so far. The best controller just got better! Only downside is that any after market paddle attachments you may have for the last gen controllers will not fit on this one, so be aware before you buy.

    Great feel/fit, textured grip and has the screen shot button. Great controller. I haven't used this controller yet, but i haven't noticed any damage. This was a damaged box and was slightly cheaper. For which I'm a huge fan of.

    Xbox has always made great controllers. My only gripe is the buttons are loud when clicked. Some people hate not having rechargeable batteries but you can get a 24 pack of batteries cheaper and they’ll last you years depending how you play. By then your battery pack will have degraded and probably on it’s way to being replaced.

    I like me it and it’s convenient. I can play most games just fine with it. Golfing is a little bit harder because the way the knobs are set up. I have to concentrate a great deal because my thumb can’t operate it efficiently.
