    I will say this controller is perfect in every way and you'll pay a premium for it. I've used mine for 3 years now and its held up pretty well. I did have to take it apart and follow a tutorial on cleaning the insides specifically the right bumper. It was a pretty simple fix and works like new just need some 90+ alcohol rubbed on the bumper contacts.

    controllers a necessity for gaming. Its just too expensive, and its guaranteed to break, so get yourself that replacement plan. Im on my 3rd elite 2, as the RB/LB keeps breaking, or the little adhesive pads inside behind the triggers gets stuck and the triggers start sticking. This should be prices at $99.99

    I'm a PC player that likes to use a controller with casual games like Fallout and GTAV. I purchased this because i prefer the Xbox form compared to PS. The weight of the controller is fantastic, the buttons feel great. the whole thing just feels very premium. I went to a buddies house and used his regular Xbox controller for the night and I felt like a pleb in comparison. Night and day difference, 4 stars because the price is just as heavy as the controller.

    Best little controller on the plaent. I've owned a variety of Xbox and playstation controllers. I loved this feel this one had. Was slim and loved the additional buttons for a more customized gaming experience. This bad boy lasted me 2 years I plan on getting another one of these.

    I absolutely love this controller you cant beat it! I got one around 3 years ago and after about a year and half it got really bad stick drift whis is insanely annoying especially since its $180, you would think it wouldnt break but i guess not. Nonetheles, this is my second controller of it that im buying. Although this time i bought the warranty for it

    Great controller for Hardcore Gamer

    This is a great controller! Obviously, the high price makes it worthwhile only if you are a lifelong gamer but, “ You get what you pay for” This controller has a heavier feel, there are apps to control fine adjustments and everything works that much better. Make sure to purchase the protection plan because even though this is a high quality controller, things break and this will also. One difference between this and the series 1 controller is that this one has a rechargeable battery built in, I don’t know about the battery life so far but this could be a good or bad thing. We shall see. This is a great controller nonetheless

    I tried playing claw practiced for a few months but just never could get the hang of it (call me lazy for giving up) I saw this controller and it became the answer to all my problems and even made more other stuff even better. It comes with multiple joy sticks I use most of them for different games I normally only switch the D pad to mess around but I'm sure someone has a use for it. Not a serious gamer but definitely upped my game to a whole new level love it. Only issue is one of the joy sticks loosen and can spin but I tightened it and haven't had a problem since.

    Great controller. Has all the bells and whistles. My only problem is that I need to get used to the extra buttons. But it works exactly as intended and has a ton more functionality than I'll probably ever use. But I'm also middle-aged and set in my ways without a ton of gaming experience.

    Much better than standard controller

    I think this is the controller that should come with the Xbox Series X as standard, it has a high end feel, like the console, which deserves a special controller. It has incredible customization options, has a quality feel in hand, comes with wireless charger and if it lasts as long as my Series 1 controller (which still works perfectly to this day) then you can't go wrong. The PS5 controller may be better than the standard Xbox controller, but this controller trumps them all. Highly recommended despite the price.

    I bought one of these because the last several regular controllers i bought have all had issues with either the a button or the right trigger. I thought for the extra money it had to be better. Well, not really. If your not going to use the extra mappable paddle buttons on the back I don't really think this controller is a worthwhile upgrade.

    No major complaints about controller cept wish the button inputs where a bit better, especially at the price, but it was my best option to get a cross pad instead of the default Xbox dpad. Best Buy did great though by price matching the Amazon price, so 5 stars to them.

    So good in some ways, a let down in others. The Bad. The Bluetooth is not usable on my Windows 10 gaming pc. It seems okay and latency isn't an issue from what I can tell, but about every 5 minutes you'll lose control for a good 6-7 seconds. Maybe this could be fixed with a software update, but both my controller and the Bluetooth drivers on my computer are up to date. The wireless USB module took care of this. Just sucks always having one more USB drive being used. My A button stuck down for a brief moment twice. I'm hoping this doesn't get worse. The Good The case with the charger built in is a nice touch. The USB cable that comes with it is awesome. Feels very good in the hand. Has a dense solid feel, very quality build to it. The grips are much improved over the V1 Elite controller, which I've used for the last 3 years, that reduce sweating in the palms greatly. The new triggers are fantastic. The old, large ones are terrible by comparison on the last gen. The tension screws on the joysticks, wow! What a feature. I love that! Tool included and takes seconds to adjust. I now have my right stick on max resistance and I can aim so much better than before. Overall, I like the controller. The biggest concern is the sticky buttons at this point. If it continues I'll be replacing it with another one and if that one fails I'll wait until the 3rd generation. The first generation is still working well enough to get me by.
