    Overall this controller is as it is marketed “elite”. The controller feels premium. Holding it side by side with a standard xbox controller this one feels way better. Totally would recommend.

    Best controller can’t give it 4 stars due to this is my 3rd one as stick drift is prevalent I. The elite series 2. The changeable sticks are great if you play different games as you can get a comfortable grip and not have to use extensions when you need finer movements.

    I bought this so that I could stop swapping batteries in and out of controllers. The battery life is crazy good. This controller looks and feels premium in every way.

    Best premium xbox controller without the Hall effect joysticks. The materials that dampened the plastic cheap feel. Iconic xbox controller hand position. Not worth the regular price. Wait for a sale or open box.

    The controller is great i like the quick profile change and the weight of it. The extra paddles on the back are a nice addtion compared to only having one set on the ps controller.

    Costly but worth every penny. I had purchased the original version and after about a year and a half. The left bumper broke. If I had a regular controller and used it daily I would be lucky if it would last half the time. It feels better and the new version even comes with a convenient rechargable battery pack that you can charge while it is in the storage case.

    Solid FPS wireless controller

    The customization is really nice with the additional 4 back buttons. Thumb stick selection is nice, but a tall stick with a fat head would be better for FPS games for accuracy. Build quality seems sold, and weight feels premium. Wish it came with a wireless dongle. Picked up one up which adds to the total cost, and have only connection 1 drop so far. The D pad sucks. It is not responsive for fast paced games that use this like 2D platformers. I switch to a PS4 controller to play them. I use this for COD Warzone & picked up the warranty as reviews of it failing seem a little too frequent, and COD is harsh on controllers. I prefer the shspe & size of the PS4 & PS5 controllers a lot more, but the lack the buttons on the back. Removing those from the back is easy if you only need 2, or have larger hands and bump the wrong ones too much. It's definitely a med to large hands controller. Software works, and set up is easy

    Awesome controller. Feels heavy (in a good way) and good quality. Only shame is it doesnt come with the extra buttons at the back but they can be bought separately. Companion apps allow for nice customization.

    This is the best controller I have ever used. It feels great in the hand. The life battery is amazing. The interchangeable parts make this controller very customizable to your liking. Just to note, I have not had any drifting or button pressing issues. I may have lucked out but beware that those are things people have complained about.

    I suffer from essential tremors, which means that 'normal' controllers cannot stand up to the involuntary twitches that make up my daily life. This controller was bought to replace the generation 1 equivalent, that developed drift, and so far has made me a happy customer. No need for replacement batteries, as the rechargeable battery is built into the controller!
