    This has been the best controller I’ve ever purchased. The build quality is outstanding. Very sturdy and has a nice weight to it. The built in battery makes it so much easier than traditional controllers. The rear-facing “fully mappable” toggles can really give you a competitive edge in multiplayer gaming. Works perfectly on both my Xbox and PC. Can be a little difficult for some to get used to the rear toggles and while they are removable it’s so worth it to get used to. They built this model perfectly!

    Definitely not an overall improvement from the first generation. Battery life is better, more mapping options, but past that, the buttons feel flimsier than ever, the buttons and bumpers will start to stick no matter how well you take care of it, and they decided to make the removable parts not interchangeable between the generations, just as a power move, don't see any benefit to that

    This controller is much better than the original Xbox controllers. It’s heavier, has grips for your palms and much quicker analog stick movement.

    I love this controller. Great fit for my hands. I bought this to replace an older Elite (4 years old) that was having some issues. I signed up for Best Buy Total before I bought this one.

    I love the controller and the buttons on the back. But some times the front buttons (A,B,X,Y) are not very responsive. Even so the controller it’s awesome.

    The first one I bought was defective but only because the lowest input setting on the back of the controller wasn't working. I brought it back for a replacement and it works great. Worth the money for a great gaming controller.

    Amazing controller! The customization is insane. Compatible with Xbox Series X/S & PC. It's my daily driver. I love it. My only issue was that after a couple of years the shoulder buttons are now really sensitive and will register multiple clicks with one push. Fortunately I have the RB LB buttons mapped to the back buttons, so its not a big deal. If this happens to you call MS immediately so they can replace it while still under warranty.
