    You just met your dream partner, they do everything you love and more. They feel great, are there for you in times of need, flexible with your needs for customization and you take care of them providing shelter, hygiene and energy. But after the honey moon phase is over you just can’t count on they anymore. They begin missing key inputs, drifting away from where your goal is and you start to think of a replacement after 5-8 months. Was your money and time worth just these great few months? This controller is awesome off the back. Being an elite buyer since day 1 it’s hands down the best model. I play daily and clean my controller weekly. However, whether it’s a series 1 or series 2 the same problems with stick drift or failed bumper input still occur. The geek squad plan is unbeatable but with consistent issues these will never make it worth the price. Recommended for casual gamer, not competitive daily user.

    Love my controller. Super high quality. The adjustable tension on the sticks is to die for! 10/10 makes gameplay better.

    Nice build and weight. Fits in my (admittedly large) hands. Good replacement if your old elite controller starts having drift and you can't wait for Microsoft to send in a refurbished replacement. If using on PC, make sure to update the controller before using it.

    this controller is excellent for PC gamers. Amazing build quality and minimal customization on triggers and thumbsticks make it an amazing controller for all types of games! I would definitely buy another one but i’m sure I wont need to!

    I have owned 3 elite controllers previous to this and all had very similar issues so I was definitely skeptical. I’ve now had it a couple months and I can’t stop raving about it! The improved buttons and hair triggers are very convenient and the quality of the grips has clearly been brought up! But the best feature is the internal battery! I’ve had to charge it only twice! No more batteries and endless hours of gameplay! Best controller I’ve ever owned period.

    I have never used any other controller other than the standard ones so I didn't know what to expect. I saw it on display and wanted it but it wasn't available at the time so I had to wait and order it and it was worth the wait. A little pricey but it's expected with how neat the controller is. I'm still getting used to the extra buttons. I also like the feeling of it and how my hands have a better grip of the controller.

    I have now had 4 pro controllers and each one has a peice that stops working after 2-3 months of gaming. The first 2 were the original elite series and the second 2 were the elite series 2. Each controller has had a button stop working and to make things worse they’re different buttons EVERY TIME. DO NOT buy without a protection plan I made that mistake on the first 2.

    Best controller I’ve ever held. Size is perfect. Paddles are useful in every game. Only issue I have is sometimes clicking in on the thumb sticks causes the controller to shut off. Only way to reconnect is to put it on the charger, then take it off and reconnect. Sucks when it happens in multiplayer. To fix this I put melee on one of the paddles.

    Feels great in your hand and I like that I dont have to worry about battery packs. Bigest issue is that the thumbstick neef to be constantly re-tightened and that the extra buttons underneath can be pressed inadvertently. Still an upgrade from the core controller.

    I Love this controller, every button besides the triggers has a replacement and differnt sizes and shapes you can swap out. my favorite feature is the battery it comes with a wireless charger that fits in its carrying case, and the battery has held a charge over 4 days it also works better than any other controller ive used for pc!
