    I have the first elite series and the second one I also bought as well. It is awesome too. It is expensive but it is a huge difference to use this in competitive matchups such as call of duty. You get a big advantage having this to customize much more and triggers and to change the feel layout of the controller how You want it to be!!

    Good controller for FPS games. Not that much use for anything else. Not really worth the hype for the price but does add some nice features like profiles and the RGBW home button.

    This is the best feeling and working controller I have ever used. Using the paddles in RPG's really changes the game, not just for racing. Battery like is incredible. oh the stiffness.

    Love the feel of this controller, and how comfortable it is. Paddles work great and very unique touch with the case being a charger for the controller so you can play wireless, do feel a slight drift in the right analog stick which is kinda disappointing for the price.

    Feels good in the hand. Back buttons are located in a great spot. The extra stick options are a great combo of options. The battery life is great. The whole package is perfect.

    I have only been able to use the controller a few times but so far has been excellent. The almost unlimited configurations for different games/player styles makes it very versatile. The button mapping is very easy and informative. I would/have recommended to other X Box players.

    Alright so for the price I say it’s pretty good. I actually got it at a slight discount so that’s a bigger win for me in my opinion. The controller is solid the extra stuff it comes with is awesome and the fact it’s rechargeable is perfect. I haven’t had any issues with it so far. I would recommend it!

    The controller is very well built. The ability to customise every part of this controller from tension in the sticks to multi configuration of the front and back controls separates this controller from others. As a long time medium hand size Scuf controller user I was skeptical. I won’t go back. 5 hour a day gamer giving this review.

    My 13yo son has been gaming since he was 2years old, so if a product doesn’t meet his expectations, he will stop using it. When he asked for this controller, I honestly thought it was another “worthless” buy. But I was wrong!!! He absolutely loves this controller and boasts about all the perks this controller provides! Def was worth every penny! (:

    Due to all the negative feedbacks on the series 1, I didn’t buy the 1st one. This time I took my chance hoping that the 2nd is much improved. It is an awesome controller. MS addressed many issues reported from the 1st one. I am loving it so far! The only downside is the price. Yes, it’s not cheap and with this money, you can buy a new console with little bit of extra.

    Yes, this is a great controller, but it still has insidious defects. Purchased in July of 2020, and now 5 months in, the left joystick drifts constantly. After further research I discovered that Microsoft has begun manufacturing a “improved” version of the same controller (model FST-00008) versus the FST-00001 version. The model I received is the latter. Most people who have purchased this seem to be experiencing the same issues. I have the Best Buy protection plan, and intend on replacing this controller when Best Buy gets it back into stock, and am hoping for the newer version.
