I am loving this controller so far. Really well designed and built. Though I can only use the top two paddles right now. The way I grip the controller, the bottom two paddles get in the way. Playing Halo 5 I mapped the LB to left paddle and RB to right paddle so now I can throw grenades with the left paddle and melee with right paddle. I really want to try to get used to four paddles but I can't risk it with Halo multiplayer because I don't want to do terrible.
All in all A+ so far, would recommend

Thanks Microsoft Store. No one in Phoenix had them I walked in on a whim and got the last 2.

I forgot to check there. I could've avoided this wait for UPS.
So have we determined that the pro had a broken controller?
I think the consensus was that he might be a shill for Scuff. No way to know for sure though.

Is it possible to map a 2 button press to one button? For example, in Elder Scrolls Online, in order to Roll Dodge, you have to hit the Left Trigger + A Button. Is it possible to assign that function to one of the paddles? Is this something that may come later if it cannot be done now?
Loving the controller. It is fantastic with Forza 6. I too like one of the guys above tend to accidently hit the lower paddle, but the upper has been fine. Still getting use to it, but in Forza I mapped the 2 right paddles for shift up and the 2 left for shift down, depending on how I am holding it. In Halo I had mapped weapon swap to the lower right paddle and in the heat of the battle kept switching, just need to get use to it I guess. But great controller!!!
Just hope a way to configure a two button press can be mapped and triggered hitting one button.

Not sure. Can't be too hard to add something like that if there isn't.
just opened mine up. can't believe how great it feels in your hands
afaik there is no combo mapping and no plans to add it because they want the controller to be tournament friendly

I have not been able to figure out how to do it unless it is not possible. I would hope that this is something that you can do, since it sounds like a no brainer.

God this thing is amazing. Those on the fence need to get it! If you can find it .
That makes sense since it's approved for MLG.

Should I just go to the Microsoft store to see if they have some?
I've been on hold with the store for like 10 min

I kind of want this, but I don't even use controllers that much. Fortunately it is unavailable here until next year it seems, so I have good reason not to get tempted.

Do the paddles come attached?
Or, if you do add them, do you have to take them off for it to fit in the case perfectly/securely?

Stay on the line. Save yourself a trip just in case.

Xbox Accessories app is there on Win 10.
It's just kind of terrible at doing what it's supposed to at the moment.

Went to the NY Microsoft flagship store and picked one up off the shelf. They had two floors worth of stock for the controller. They were all on the shelf. Should have gone here earlier instead of trying Best Buy.
Well, I know where I'm heading after work. This is the brand new Manhattan store I keep seeing signs for right?
LolHey at least it shipped right?

Yep. It's on 5th Ave. Couple blocks away from the Apple Store. Super packed but just ask a sales associate that you want to purchase the controller.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
The d-pad is fucking incredible.
That is all.

The satellite looking one?
Anyway I want this, but... I think I'm just going to get the Elite console that comes with it soon. Wanted to get the controller to play Halo 5 the first time, but eh.

Lol, the satellite one is dumb. But the feel of the d-pad is really, really good. Feels way better than the normal Xbone controller's, and it's obviously worlds better than the 360's. Gonna be pretty cool to have a decent controller for 2D games on PC.

can anyone comment on the deadzone and/or tension on the sticks?

Really? Is it up to DS4/Pro Controller/SNES d-pad standards? If that's the case I might pick one up...

Messing around with the vibration power settings in the XBOX Accessories app I noticed that my Right Handle vibration feels FAR less strong than my Left Handle, with both at 100%. The left feels like hard thumps and the right more like a cell phone vibration.
Is my $150 controller broken or does anyone else have the same?

d-pad is one of the biggest deals to me, so it's really good to know. I actually think the clicky one on the regular XO controllers are decent, not fantastic but way better than the 360's (of course). If this is even better than that, then great.
Awesome, thanks for the heads up!

Will the microsoft store give me a student discount for the controller? Lol.
How so? Does it feel anything like a Sega six button controller's D-Pad? Since it's circular and 8-way it looks like it could be awesome like the Saturn's.

So the paddles are legit? I still can't see myself using them, but I... haven't used them so it's hard to know. Just seems weird.

I have just been messing with the paddles. I found the lower two kind of give me cramps; not worth enduring. I ended up removing the bottom two and am only using the top two.
