    Bought this for my son for Christmas. It was his favorite gift. He loves the long charge cord it comes with, too.

    These seem to hold up better and are lighter! The built in battery lasts forever! And I love the magnetic charging dock!

    - Great customization for a personalized easier experience - Very durable inputs but edges of rubber tend to unglue. - Thumb stick grooves go away slowly - Glues for grips way better the Elite 1 (I Play a lot)

    Non-gamer here. It was hard to understand why we needed to upgrade to the elite controller until I held each and felt the difference. I've watched enough game play to see how intense the play can be, so now I can also understand why having some of the features would help. So instead of having to buy a new basic controller every 3-4 months because of the wear and tear, we'll invest in this and see it last a lot longer

    Great upgrade from the basic wireless Xbox controller. I believe it was worth the money. Feels great in my hands, and I like having the option of using paddles now. There's also the ability to change the D pad, as well as the knob's with different option's which come in the package, along with a nice protective travel case.

    Durability is a problem. Bumpers and sticks tend to be the first thing to go. However I do think while it is new it is one of the best controllers on the market.

    Having the paddles on the back does take a little getting used to, I’ve accidentally pressed them a few times. Mapping the extra paddles and learning how to use the profiles does take a little bit of patience, but works great once you get the hang of it.

    Good product for what you pay for. I would just recommend getting warranty though because it’s just a matter of time when the controller will have some sort of malfunction mechanic going on. But overall it’s a good controller.

    The controller is solid, except for the slight stick drift which I assume is a product of my mishandling of the controller not a fault of the controller itself. The software however is terrible and left my controller unable to be customized for a few months while I waited on an update to roll out.

    I have the Series 1 and this is def an improvement, it feels heavier to me. Also the wireless/plugless charging makes it so much better than the series one. It also feels tighter to me, could be a placebo. Using it on my XBox Series XX with no issues. Best to get this when it goes on sale as the price is steep. Should be included as an upgraded option when you purchase the new X Box Series X. This is really for those who need it not your average gamer to be quite honest.

    Left Bumper broke and theres is moderate stick drift on both sticks after 4 months of use.. outside of warranty date. Controller feels very high quality, looks and feels great but just doesn’t seem to function so. I’ve never had this many issues with my past $60 Xbox controllers. Disappointed their premium version is a downgrade in reliability.
