    This controller has weight to it. Very solid controller, had to return once because of button sticky issue. But no problem besides that.

    Controller is great, feels way better than the ones that come with even the Xbox Series S. Time will tell if its a quality controller but for right now, I'd say it is.

    Great controller has a premium feel to it. Nice weight and the adjust ability is great to have. The only gripe I have is the paddles.. the scuff ones on the v1 were a little better.

    Great controller. Once i got used to the paddles, it really helps with FPS games. It’s nice not having to remove your thumbs from the sticks. It is a little pricey, so let’s hope it holds up for a casual gamer.

    Hands down my go to controller. The quality isn't always the best, i definitely recommend the warranty. I'm on my third one. The first one began to get a non responsive right trigger, the second one was doing the same and stick drift. I'd swap the joysticks out for Gulli's. Regardless of the problems, the controller fits in my, larger than average, hands far better than any other I've tried.

    This controller is awesome when it actually works. I’m already on my 3rd due to various issues though. It seems almost impossible to find one which isn’t defective out of the box. Issues I’ve seen are buttons sticking on the face and shoulder, double inputting for face buttons, stick drift, and now on my newest one, it will randomly power off on its own. I’d say unless you are a diehard elite controller fan, maybe look at a third party offering for a premium controller

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    I’ve had many remote controls but this one feels different. It is stronger, heavier in a good way. The feeling that I get with this one in my hands is like i can play anything and i have more control of the game in many ways. Fast reaction and the bottoms dont break even when I play fighting games which require a lot of pressing and controlig every bottom. I would recomend it to anyone.

    This controller is amazing. Like most xbox controllers it will eventually have stick roaming but if you catch it onsale buying it once a year and a half or so it isnt bad if you are a daily user like me.

    It’s a great controller for FPS games. The problem is they are very expensive and break easy. This is third one. I bought this because I have all the attachments from my other elite 2. I love the color but don’t like the price. If you have money to burn then buy one but if in a budget save your money.

    If you're an fps player, back paddles are sure to elevate your gameplay. The controller feels good in the hand, has good connection, and comes with more attachments than you'll need. Get two so one can be in the shop, because they have several known issues like bumper sensors dying and stick drift. Even with that, I still don't want to go back to regular controllers.
