    I had bought this controller when it first came out and decided to get a 2nd one for my 2nd xbox series x. It's definitely a major upgrade from the elite series 1 controller. The rubber grips are better and I love how I'm able to change the tension on the thumb sticks. The quality is excellent. The ease of use is excellent. Very easy to set up and update and map the buttons to your liking. My only con about this controller is that's it's a little more expensive than the original elite controller with only a couple of upgrades. I would definitely recommend this to any hardcore or pro player.

    This was my first elite controller and it really made a difference! Learning to map the buttons how you want is difficult at first but once you do it and adjust, you will notice a difference! My game play has been better and a lot of my online friends have noticed a difference. The grip makes it always a comfortable hold even during intense situations. Adjusting the trigger is amazing especially with shooter games, I have had people think I had a mod because my trigger finger with a pistol was incredible. Honestly these controllers are expensive, but well worth it in the long run if you are an avid gamer. Please buy the warranty with Best Buy, it's worth it in the long run.

    Nice weight to it. Excellent battery life. Hot-swappable sticks and paddles allow extensive customization. Adjustable triggers, adjustable torque on the sticks. Swappable D-pad. Paddle switches are metal, as well as the D-pads. Texturized rubber grips help reduce slipping, though it does not eliminate it completely. Charges on a USB-C type cable, so it won't work with other xbox controller charging cables. Nice case with it as well, and includes a pass-thru for the charging cable and a charging stand.

    the controller it self is amazing with the ability of swapping out the sticks is amazing but i really wished it was bluetooth to IOS apple unfortunately it’s not , which sucks because there’s many games out there that are supporting controllers, but this didn’t made the cut which is fine but would be an amazing game breaking moment, in all its a awesome controller i haven’t got any problems just yet, & the game pass bonus is quite amazing it self, in all, awesome controller would be amazing with the bluetooth connections as it can be taken to huge levels, in all amazing -B.

    This is a really solid controller with a nice case. The XBOX app lets you create three custom button layouts and save them to the controller. I also change the center button LED, so that each custom button layout has its own color.

    The controller is great when it works. A lot of people eventually have problems and need to warranty it. I've gone through 4 or 5. Stick drift, stuck buttons, unresponsive bumpers. Still would buy it again, built in battery and the overall experience is unmatched compared to the regular controller.

    The controller itself is excellent but make sure to buy the protection plan as they break easily.

    So far this controller has perfomed well despite negative reviews regarding stick drifting. I come from using the Razer Wolverine Tournament edition and still enjoy that controller, but its just something about having the option to play wirelessly and still getting decent performance results makes my gameplay experience so much more enjoyable. I also do prefer the back paddles and adjustable stick tention over the Razer as well. Hopefully the quality lasts long.

    Sexy & Durable

    Love this controller. If you are thinking of upgrading your Xbox controller and deciding between this and an actual "SCUF" it is a toss up, BUT there are a few things about this that I like vs the SCUF. I like that the underbody paddles are over-under instead of side by side. It allows you to use your middle and ring fingers as opposed to the SCUF design which you have to move your middle finger back and forth to use. Also, it is compatible with all xbox compatible components which the SCUF isn't always apt to do. Lastly, this product is sexy. The charger, the carry case, the interchangeable buttons/joy sticks—everything is beautiful, durable, and nicely designed.

    controller works amazing. Love the ability to change the most detailed setting and have 4 different setups for different games. Only down side I would say is for the price I wish it would hold up a little better. Buttons seems to wear down the same as a normal controller if not worse sometimes.

    The controller has been rock steady for almost a year now and still performs flawlessly. It was easy to set up on the PC and has never had issues with connecting, or disconecting during gaming with the bluetooth connection. The battery life is very good as well, this will go several weeks without needing to charge for daily gaming. Highly recommend this product to anyone.

    High quality and feels great in my hands. One star off because I think there the paddle position is close enough that occasionally I’ll press the bottom paddle if my grip is off at all. Also a star off because it came out of the box with stick drift, which is a common complaint with this model. Great overall with minor imperfections.

    I was actually lucky enough to find one of these on a geek refurb price. It wasn't scuffed, the box was as new looks, everything was there. So I have my second one... The first one, I'm actually looking to Dr. because how ever I hold the handles, I somehow squeeze and put too much pressure. So I, literally over time crushed some of the holding brackets. didn't know I could do that. But it doesn't matter, I'm getting some faceplates and going to try to make an Gold on Gold Elite controller. GoldFinger!!!
