This controller is so much better then the stock one you get from Xbox the reason I bought it was because I hate battery powered controllers they are worthless and just ignorant period .why use a battery powered one an run out of juice at a pivotal moment?!?! Not to mention there is a noticeable lag and I don't care what anyone says yes you can see the lag and it gets worse as the batteries die however I will admit it's a small amount when you are at full strength but it's still there and no matter what mode your in you need all the help you can get when gaming
