    Fantastic upgrade from the Elite 1. The built in rechargeable battery is great and lasts several days of heavy use. The paddles are reconfigured and are a little smaller and I find them more responsive. The build is solid. Dont hesitate.

    Love having more options to customize. I feel the price is a bit high for the value of those buttons. Battery lasts long and charges easily. The remote is well made.

    Could be a great controller but...

    The controller is comfortable and bit heavy. Not over whelming heavy but feels substantial in the hands. The case and components are of good quality and allows for much customization. The main issue I had with the controller was the input and joy stick drifting. It feels as if there was something causing the A or B button to stick. It makes it unusable at time. Im sure if it were to be taken apart and cleaned, it would likely work fine but for a controller that retails at $180, you would hope these problems did not exist.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    This is one of if not the best controller I’ve ever owned. The grip helps with perspiration, the paddles on the back help with gameplay, and the interchangeable thumb sticks are good for different games. I recommend this controller fully.

    For the price, I would get it on sale. I have the core model which does not come with the paddles. The quality of this controller is very premium. The side handles are very grippy. The bumpers and triggers are could be better. There are a little on the soft side. The thumbsticks are very grippy and swappable with other colors. The D-pad is the best. It is made of aluminum and feels so good. I would get another one when the time comes.

    I have been meaning to get this for a while, and was able to get it on sale, and I’m glad that I did. This is a nice upgrade from the original controller, and I would certainly have gotten this sooner!

    Nice upgrade over my series 1. I bought the core because I still had all the accessories from my original. Everything matches and that’s the only difference between the 2. Love the new grips.

    I've owned a couple of different xbox elite copies from other brands, but nothing beats this thing. I loved my razor, but the elite feels and performs better.

    This controller is worth it if you play FPS games. I love the fact the paddles help with not taking my thumbs off the controller. I will say if you do play a lot the quality built is around 3.5 to 4 stars. The longevity of this controller I feel is an open debate because I had to use my geek squad replacement plan a couple of times within a 4 year span. I do play about 10-20 hours a week. I don't know if anyone else has issues with sticky buttons (right/left bumper) or drifting joy sticks. I had both.

    Good value as I didn’t require the bumpers. Controller feels solid and comfortable to hold. No 5 star due to a rattle after a year of use in the vibration. Never dropped or damaged which is unfortunate.
