    This controller is incredible. My first pro and got it at discount. I don't even bother with my 3 other xbox controllers anymore. Great premium feel, back paddles are useful and love customizable features and great carrying case!

    My scuf stopped working so I bought one of these to use with my pc when I want to game from the couch. I had the scuf impact, and I find the comfort of the elite to be better, the customization is easier, and it just works better on PC. Maybe a tad expensive. I really like the swappable parts (thumbsticks and d-pad) that come in the box, and easily adjustable triggers.

    I would’ve gave it a 5 star but the controller is a little stiff and some buttons you gotta push hard to work. Other than that it’s a great controller.

    As long as it keeps working, this is one of the best feeling controllers on the market. I really wish Microsoft would just redesign the internals and release a series 3.

    Had to return the controller after I found one of the paddles wasn't functioning. This was not fun to deal with of course, but the exchange process was easy, and the controller feels great to use for console gaming!

    I've been enjoying playing games especially on my Nintendo switch nice solid controller my only problem is mine creeks when I push the controllers down but it still works well. I'd go return it but Corona season keeping me indoors. I love how there's a 3 year warranty option unlike game stop that only offers a year

    Great controller, use it almost everyday, the button mapping in it is very user friendly and very useful, and having 3 different setting for the mapping also helps alot.

    Great Controller, love how it comes with interchangeable thumb sticks, the grip is nice, and the plus is the charging pad. The weight is a little heavy but not bad.

    This controller is expensive but after using it I think it’s worth the price. From the new grips, the ability to tighten the sticks, the longer built in battery that is USB-C, this is a nice upgrade from the original Elite. Also wasn’t sure how I’d feel about the paddles, but they feel natural and sit right at my fingertips. Definitely gives you the ability to play the way you want and map the buttons as you see fit.

    It fills so smoothly, heavy and solid, it’s really different experience. Even if you don’t you down pads you need to have one, sticks moving so smooth and accurate. I love it, perfect. I dont have too much time for gaming, but it still great.

    A noticeable upgrade over the Series X default controller. Sturdier in hand, quieter button presses, full customization of stick and paddles, but most importantly, reduced input lag that has actually helped me get more kills in FPS games! I didnt think the price was worth it, but now that I have this controller, couldnt game without it!

    Its a good controller. I've had an elite series 1 in the past that worked well for 2 years till the grips fell off then an elite 2 controller that had issues after a year with the trigger but replacements were easy and this is by far the best controller out there

    I've waited some time before making a post about the controller. Now I am NOT a big time games but I do solely use my elite controller when I do because it just feels good in my hands. It has a nice SOLID feel to it.
