    Ergonomic design, heavy, comfortable, elegant and customizable! Honestly? Since I got my headset, this is the best purchase I’ve done for my Xbox and PC. I love the fact you can charge it INSIDE the case. And carry it without ruining the buttons, sticks or triggers. Plus other things y’all should check out about it... love it!

    I am loving this controller. It feels so good in the hands. And I love how you can customize the controller to your needs. Also I am loving that you can change the LED light on the controller with the Xbox accessories app on Xbox.

    Works well. Is comfortable when using for long gaming sessions. Only issue is we only had it for a couple months and the right bumper went out. But Best Buy was great working with us. An we got it replaced no problem.

    Bought the elite series 2 Xbox controller for only 80 dollars because it was an open box. When the controller arrived the condition was excellent.

    Great for online gaming, paddles are extremely useful for shooters but can be programmed to any button you want so can also be useful for other types of games.

    Ever since the first elite controller dropped I couldn’t play Xbox again with a regular controller. The grip the touch the feel the feedback everything just feels luxurious with this piece of hardware I wish the price would come down a tad but you gotta Pay To Play can’t live without it highly recommend it.

    You'll be doing yourself a favor by getting this controller. A bit pricey, but in my opinion, definitely worth it. Custom settings for all buttons. I use it on PC and Cloud gaming on my Android device. Highly recommend.

    Love it! I was between this and a SCUF controller. This is the much better option in my opinion especially for a $50+ difference ( i got it for $158 and got the extended replacement and was still cheaper and my feeling is much better built.) The case that comes with holds the extra parts and charges the controller.

    Great controller, only problem I have with these Xbox and playstation controllers is drifting on the PlayStation and the RB and LB on the elite controller sometimes are non functioning. Had to buy a new one.

    I bought this and at first I loved it! But after about two years one of the bumpers is registering two inputs for every one click! I have taken excellent care of this controller so it's very disappointing to see these issues so fast. Unfortunately with only a one year warranty I can't even get it repaired! I'm stuck with a paper weight. If you MUST buy one get a 3 year warranty.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

  • Maybe the best controller i have ever used

    Feels great to hold the battery last for a solid 16 hours with a headset hooked up to it the adjustable triggers are great for shooters the paddles save you precious milliseconds in online shooters
