Great controller. Stippling is very nice. Biggest perk is the chat mixer so you can mute your annoying teammates during the 1v1 situations. Programming isn't very intuitive but once you get it its easy. Only complaint is not wireless but for the price you cant beat it.

If your thinking of buying the $180 Xbox elite series 2 controller don’t and buy this !!!!!!! Stick drift is going to occur in any controller buy the $12 warranty..btw this controller feels really good and obviously with those buttons in the back makes you play even better!!!!!

The features on the controller are very good, but there seems to be something wrong with the refurbished unit. The movement doesnt seem to work well in certain games Will be making a return.

Comfortable and easy to use. Great for a beginner like me and my Son likes it. He’s happy with how good it works for the price. He plays racing games mostly with it.

The controller is very solid for the price! The back paddles are a huge plus! I used it for a year before the left analog stick started drifting.

It's an all in 1 controller works seamlessly with the volume controls and has great haptic feedback, all around great purchase. Cheaper than the regular controllers too.

Didnt Last a Year

Liked the controller at first, a bit small but not "too small". The buttons are below average but passable, the sticks are similar, i didnt find much use for the extra buttons and the headset jack would randomly make the worst high pitched screeching noise imaginable. I used multiple different headsets with the same outcome. Within 7 months the port for the cable became so loose that any movement at all and the controller would disconnect. Take 30 seconds to start back up. Thankfully i purchased the 2 year replacement plan. UNFORTUNATELY the controller was no longer in stock anywhere so only received store credit in return. Wouldnt recommend, get a Gamesir if you want a cheap controller.

I've been really pleased with how the controller works with my PC, but I've been really impressed with its compatibility with the Xbox. It's incredibly versatile when it comes to handling my audio between games and chat with the controller. So far I've had no issues with its response time or connection to either device. Very happy with the purchase!

This is such a great controller. The overall feel is light and easy to hold, I really like the back buttons a lot. The settings on the controller make it very easy to customize your gaming experience to your exact liking. I have to say that I was very happy with this purchase so give it a try because it's price is great.
