    Great product, A definite must have if you like the best of the best. Premium quality, I will say though had to get 2 replacement controls under warranty because of drifting, so get that warranty people.

    Great controller with excellent battery life to compliment my Xbox Series X. Great customization. My only nitpick is lack of share button but other than that, this is the best controller I ever bought

    6 month review.... I'm now on my 3rd elite series 2 controller in 4 years... ive had this one for 6 months. MAJOR problem ..........wait for it.... you guessed it stick drift. come on guys fix it..... #HallEffect sticks and triggers.... its the future embrace it. Way better than analog until they fix this I'm moving on and that really sucks because other than that i love them, but at $180 ???? there are $40 controllers on the market with better sticks and triggers now. build quality is top notch, but internal components need to catch up with the demand of the gaming community. cant recommend anyone to buy this because of that Unfortunately..

    I highly recommend this controller for any gamers on the Xbox gaming console. Heavier than the average controller simply because of the materials. You’re paying a high buck for these so expect a very reliable controller.
