    I like it better than the Turtle Beach. Doesn't need an extra dongle to get it working, just connect and go.

    Way better than the original. Textured handles feel great, it looks like is a solid piece unlike the original that started to lose the glue after a few months of usage then the rubber around the handle would bubble up and come off the controller. The triggers have 3 levels of resistance. The control sticks can be adjusted too... Very useful. The battery lasts a while even after long periods of gameplay on Elder Scrolls Online. It's worth the money. But if your original is in perfect working conditions then save the money and keep using that one.

    Worth The Money, If It's Your First Elite

    Its my first elite controller and I would say its worth every bit of the price, if it's your first elite controller. If you have a gen 1 elite controller, i would just stick with that, unless you want upgrade. If you're using it for pc, like I am, I recommend getting the Microsoft USB wireless controller adapter. Even though the elite gen 2 has Bluetooth it didn't like staying connected to my pc for more then 15 to 20 minutes, which this isn't too bad because the adapter is only like 25 bucks, but some people may have better luck with it then me.

    Great controller. Paddles are easy to hit and have enough of a gap avoiding miss hits. Lots of fine tuning (hardware and software) I was not expecting. This is my go to. I wish it had a capture button. The work around I found is to set a custom capture button on a different profile. The controller allows for you to cycle through profiles very easily. It also has a great battery life.

    fantastic. i love playing elden ring with this and brawlhalla. the paddles really help to accidentally jolt off a cliff with torrent and screw up my combos and such. i'm sure it'll have some use to it. really like the option to change the trigger pull. i keep it real short for easy spamming. setup was kind of difficult. i had to download these sketcy programs and update it. idk. once it started to properly work it was good

    This controller is amazing in every way except 1. I would think that a $200 controller would last more than a year and a half before the sticks started drifting with no way to fix. I have original XBOX 360 controllers that I still use years and years later. Those cost $60 and still work perfectly, but this super expensive (and totally worth the price for how it works... when it works) controller needs to be replaced not even 2 years after purchase. I am a middle aged man who uses this probably a quarter of what a young kid would and it always gets stored in its cradle after use, and still.... have to replace it already. This is a problem I see hundreds of videos referencing too, so it is not isolated. I hope they fix it in future generations of controllers, because everything about it is truly Elite, except its life span.

    If your looking to expand what you can do in games I say go for it. I bought just for Apex & it gets the job done plus more. Back triggers help keep me in game without extra finger movment. No stick drift. Fist perfectly in my hand. It's just a step up from the normal controller.

    So Far So.... Okay

    I've had the worst luck with XBOX controllers. They are by far the most unreliable controllers on the market. I am extremely careful, gentle with my controllers what frustrates me the most. This controller does have a tendency to frequently disconnect from my XBOX. Sometimes I have to completely power off my console or reconnect by pairing the controller again. To my stupidity, I did not get the protection plan on this controller, so I guess I am out of luck. With XBOX my controllers usually last 1-2 years with no wear and tear at all. Actually, my controller that came with the XBOX lasted months before not working and it was just a backup controller that was hardly used. With the money that I paid for this controller if it does not last I will definitely be switching to Playstation 5. My Playstation 4 controllers are over 5 years old and work perfectly fine. I will say the quality of the controller is great and it feels great in the hands. It also has some well-balanced weight to it which feels good as well. Buttons and pad are adjustable and it does come with a nice carrying case.

    Best controller I've ever used!

    I have always preferred the Xbox controller over the Playstation controller, especially because I play a lot of FPS games, but in general it feels better to me. Elite version is heavier, has rubberized grip, and the build of the controller feels premium (as it should for the cost). With all the accessories and adjustments (various thumb sticks, d-pads, paddles, and adjustable triggers), you can make the controller as custom, as needed. It has been my best controller ever purchased and worth the amount I paid. Get that Geek Squad protection, just in case! ;) Buy it and have fun!

    Never thought I would spend so much on a controller, but after seeing all the great reviews on it I decided to give it a try. Besides being lightweight and comfortable to hold, it comes with a case and charger (and btw the battery lasts a long time). On top of that you can customize the sticks, the d-pad, the resistance on the triggers, and program the back paddles. The great thing is it will hold a default mapping as well as three other mappings that you can set yourself and switch between with the push of a button. Didn't think I needed it, and probably don't, but I love having it.

    Really nice hand feel and button response. The paddles are smaller than the first elite controller, accidental pushes are less but they’re almost too small. The paddles from the first elite I seem to be compatible, but I had issues with what would be the B paddle not consistently working, so you could mix and match. The rechargeable battery is a nice addition and the 3 position triggers are really nice.

    The build quality of this controller is solid, there are a few quality of life improvements added such as rechargeable battery, better grips and a button to adjust the profile that's in use (instead of a switch). If you're looking for a nice Xbox/PC controller this is a solid buy, if you have a Series 1 controller I wouldn't recommend the upgrade unless you get this on sale.

    Love everything about it -- except the new rubber padding that was extended over the handles. My old Elite controller they gripped really well; the new material feels waxy and slippery. Other than that, there's nothing to complain about. Comes with rechargeable battery and recharges by putting back in the case. Adjustable joystick tension, better paddle controls, and a host of other improvements make this the best conrtoller out there. If only it felt "grippier'....
