    This controller has changed gaming on my Xbox forever. I don’t want to game with any other controller. From the grip, adjustable triggers, paddles, and options/settings; it’s incredible. The only downfall is that it’s my 4th one. The Rn/lb for me have broken or become unplayable because of how hard I need to push down on them. I don’t know if I personally have had bad batches but that’s my main complaint. For a controller that is very expensive I should only have to purchase one. But like I said I don’t want another controller lol this makes gaming very fun and they’re a breeze to use.

    Get the edge over the competition. My only gasp is that it doesn’t come with the alternative buttons for below, their competitors did.

    For the price it's the quality you expect. I've had the elite series 2 controller for years and wanted a second one for my other Xbox. It was an easy choice to grab this one without the need for the complete bundle. My only complaint is that i feel it should include at least one pair of tabs for the back to give you a bit more customization. Understandably it is the "core" version, but if I'm buying the controller for this much, which has the same functionality of a standard controller out of box, i do feel it should include just those two extra items.

    Elite 2 core is a great controller.

    It's lighter than the original elite 2 controller. Only thing is you have to buy the paddles for the back controls separately. Other than that it is an awesome addition to my collection.

    Xbox elite controller definitely is the step up every xbox gamer should be given the gift of, from being super comfortable to ultimate customization on textures to the controls, even the 4-paddle trigger backing to the controller is next level

    Almost Perfect

    Honestly one of the best controllers you can get! This is my third one and I learned the hard way to get a protection plan on these contollers. The same issue has happened in the past with serious stick drift and bumper issues (not registering/double registering) developing. If you’re buying through best buy consider the geek squad coverage but also definitely look into getting it with microsoft complete from the microsoft store!

    One of the best controllers out there, period. Great customization for buttons and sticks. Nice weight and works on almost anything. And remember that your settings are saved on the controller so they travel with you. Downside is that this can only be programmed on a PC or Xbox (as far as I know). The one thing that is bad is that I've had two of these and within 2 years the RB button stopped working on both(this is a known issue) so get a warranty. If Microsoft could fix this it would be perfect (for most)

    I enjoy the option to set color schematics and sensitivity levels. I use Control Freaks on joysticks and they work perfectly.

    I’m not an intense gamer with shooters so I can’t fully apeak to the durability issues that others have had but its a solid well built controller & I’m happy with it.

    The Perfect Controller

    I can't even think of a single negative thing to say about this controller. It's basically perfect, feels great in the hand, and has loads of unique and features. I think the three things that really make this controller a "must have" for any gamer are 1) the adjustable inputs/stick tension. Medium and high bother feel fantastic. Normal controllers don't have enough stick tension for me. Setting the triggers to half just feels right. 2) the swappable sticks. The dome top and tall stick combo do actually make a difference for competitive shooters and 3) The paddle placement is perfect. Assuming this controller holds up for a while, and the QC is in shape, I'd highly recommend.

    Super responsive and I love being able to map my buttons or swap for paddles. Recommend getting the warranty because sometimes RB and sticks can go bad.

    I have a rare bone disease in my wrist and it constantly hurts... when I play xbox with the standard controller... OMG. I completely stopped playing xbox because after 15 minutes, I wanted to cut my wrist off. THIS controller is a LIFE saver... having the triggers underneath changed my world. The fact that you can swap certain pieces out is cool too. It is easy to map and connectivity has never been an issue. Before my wrist issues, I played with a standard controller and I actually play BETTER with this one... perhaps a coincidence but I LOVE this controller. I have been using the 1st generation and will continue to until it craps out... this one is a back up that I played with for a few weeks to make sure it worked.
