    Love the dimming of the home button. Really long lasting battery. But the A X B and Y button felt unresponsive. I was soft to push them as I'm not trying to damage the buttons. I had to press unusually hard to get the buttons to work. But definitely heart breaking when your dogs get to it. :'(

    This controller replaced a white one we had that broke. My son still uses this controller every time he plays his game. I don't know too much about gaming but my son speaks highly of this controller. BUY THE WARRANTY!

    Favorite among the “pro” controllers. Love the sturdy, heavy feel of the controller. Customization options are better then every other controller. Recommend it 100%

    I'm not sure if the price is worth it - but that is subjective. It's a great controller. Feels good in the hand - feels substantial. Many options to customize the feel. Battery life is great. I use with with my Windows PC without any major issues. Sometimes it disconnects but then reconnects really quickly.

    I do not understand the bad reviews of this Xbox elite controller, but to my point of view, I absolutely love it! What I love about this specific Xbox controller is that you do not need to keep adding batteries; you can simply charge the controller. Moreover, the controller has a good battery life lasting around 40 hours. Get it!

    Loved the controller. Feels great on your hands. Battery last a king time. A little over a year of usage and some buttons don’t respond and they did when new. But I do use the controller more than the average gamer.

    I had the first Elite Controller and was excited to find out the second version was released. I love the weight on the remote and how the grips feel. The extra triggers have a good click to them and the USB C charging case is awesome! I would definitely recommend this even for just regular casual gamers and pros.

    Great controller. A lot of customization and features. The only issue is the analog sticks. They will eventually get stick drift unfortunately.

    You know one thing that I personally love? Its Simple, something that makes my life easier. And I can personally verify that this controller makes my life easier. Not too brag or anything, but ever since ive purchased this controller I have been untouchable in games. From fifa, to call of duty, I mean even fortnite. Im dishing it out all day with these sticks. Ive most definitely experience an improvement in my overall gaming experience since purchasing so would definitely recommend.

    The price is up and quality is down on these elite remotes. As i was not paying attention when i was doing a warranty exchange and was only given credit for a core elite so im out the 70$ difference. My mistake i guess

    Best controller since the Series 1 Elite

    They took the Elite Series 1 and made it better. The paddles are improved (less flimsy, it seems), you have more options for the hair trigger pulls (2 instead of 1), you get tension control for the joysticks, and the grip material wraps all around the controller grips instead of just the back. 4 stars because the right trigger started “sticking” a little bit. When I start pulling the trigger, it would have just a smidge more resistance than the left. Opening up the controller, there are 2 tiny foam pads attached to each trigger that eliminates the noise generated when the trigger returns to its default position. That foam had shifted on the right trigger and the adhesive was causing that stickiness. I removed the adhesive foam from both triggers since I had the controller open and it’s been great ever since. I don’t notice the extra noise at all while gaming (either because I’m wearing headphones or just engaged in the game).
