If you are sick of removing your thumbs from your joysticks when you are in the middle of a battle, you would enjoy this controller. For me, I play a lot of first person shooters and this has helped me elevate my game okay. Im able to continue to battle with out removing my thumbs from the joysticks. The build quality is really nice and feels well built. There is a bit more weight to the controller because they use more metal parts. The only issue I have noticed is stock drift still plaques the controller. At this price point I would love to see hall effects joysticks. Other the. That the controller is worth the money.

Grate controller always my number one choice. I’ve owned three already.

You just have to get this. Grips are good and help for long-term play with feel and sweaty hands. Triggers add to your options and how you play with three selectable configurations (+default) that you can customize via the Xbox accessories (computer) app. Just the fact that you can customize how all the buttons are configured for multiple setups makes this worth the money. I originally got this thinking that I needed it for teh directional pad that can be replaced with the concave pad (which is more comfortable). I was surprised to discover myself playing with the left directional stick that I had caused me to get the Elite2 -- the new adjustability allowed me to set it up the tension the way I wanted for games. Even SFV use felt good and more predictable that I could honestly play that as well as the concave directional. I think if the retail was $149 instead of $199 (or $179 on sale) this would probably be more palatable though.

This is my second one of these and i absolutely love it, they feel heavy and well made have had absolutely no issues with them

My son loves his new controller he enjoys it everyday.

Great remote for gaming. No drift. Good size. Recommend.

Really does give you an advantage in shooter games. Controller looks and feels premium! Love how the buttons from the original elite controller fit this, so buying just this core was a no brainer to me.

This is a really nice controller. I love the dark paddles, d-pad, and triggers. All buttons feel nice and the home button is “clicky”. It has a good weight to it and comes with a braided cable and cloth carrying case. The charging base that’s included isn’t quite heavy enough, so picking up the controller while it’s on the stand occasionally results in the base hanging onto the controller. But since the charger fits into the bottom of the fabric case that’s included, I plan to charge it inside the case instead of on a table. It has a nifty little opening in the back for the USB-C cable to pass through. I was a little bummed to see that only one convex (domed) joystick was included in the extras. I don’t like the look of the controller with two different joysticks and prefer domed joysticks over the standard Xbox ones. Not a big deal, but I am already searching for a second one. As a new owner of both this and the original elite controller, I highly recommend both. Once you feel the smooth joystick movement of the the elite controller, you won’t go back to playing with the standard ones. I waited too long to purchase my last one.

Excellent customer service and great controller. Slightly more expensive than I would like to see but I don't regret the purchase at all.

I love never needing to take my thumbs off of the thumbsticks. I solely use this controller for competitive shooter titles, and it works great! The customization is highly appreciated, I’ve tried many combinations already and will continue to experiement. I don’t personally get anything out of the different tension settings, though. The feeling of the controller is pure quality, from the weight, to all the buttons and triggers. I especially love the D-Pads, but for competitive shooters I have almost exclusively used the ‘plus’ D-pad. All-in-all, a way better pro controller than the Dualsense Edge, and on par with 3rd party pro controllers.

I love using this controller for campaign games or solo gaming or co-op gaming but for first person shooting or online gaming third person shooting I would prefer the regular control over this

Best premium xbox controller without the Hall effect joysticks. The materials that dampened the plastic cheap feel. Iconic xbox controller hand position. Not worth the regular price. Wait for a sale or open box.

Decided to purchase this a Couple weeks ago , I wasn’t sure if it was going to be worth it or not so I was nervous to spend the money at first but I am so glad that I did! Controller feels amazing in your hands, the customization options on it are basically unlimited not only does it come with the interchangeable thumb sticks and paddles and the hair lock triggers you can fine tune Each individual button on the controller through the Xbox Accessories app so you can make any button do whatever you want , if you want to be able to make the A button do B button functions on a game then you can do it , its almost overwhelming how many things you can customize on the app to make the controller completely compliment your playing style. The controller comes with a really nice case. It comes with a usbc charging cord so you can charge it by plugging it into your Xbox or pc or you can use a wall adapter to plug the usbc into. On top of that it comes with a charging dock that the controller magnetically connects to and they even put a little rubber flat on the back of the case for the usbc cord to plug into the charging dock so you can charger the controller while you have it inside the case. I mainly play first person shooters online and being able to customize the controller how I want has made a huge difference in my gameplay and if you’re on the fence about buying this control then do it!

Love it! Excellent controller and much better than the original. After a year I am starting to get a little stick drift which is annoying

I absolutely love it. Easy to take apart and clean.

This controller is awesome! Very good button and connectivity responses.

Love the controller it is very sturdy and i like that i don't have to remove the battery. It just feels better in my hands then the normal xbox controller

I love this controller. I typically play anywhere between 2 and 8+ hour’s a day and have been playing on multiple devices for over 20+ years. I can honestly say this is one of the best I’ve used…

The controller stick was broken and I missed my return window

Usually get stuck drift about a year into owning but it's not terrible. A super comfortable controller and easily customized
