    A definite improvement over the base controller physical customizations are good as well as the software customizations. Rechargeable battery and dock are nice too. GameStop had it for 139.99 so I price matched

    I purchased this as an open box excellent and it was like I purchased it brand new. It was nice getting a significant discount for something that appears to be barely used. It works well with my Xbox One X and my Dell gaming laptop and I am glad I purchased it to replace my 1st gen Elite controller.

    Great battery life, wireless charging is amazing, and the comfort of the grips makes the controller that much better. It is much lighter than the previous elite controllers and also offers 3 user profile settings. Easy to remove paddles and improved trigger adjustments. Well worth the price!

    The paddles are smaller than the series 1, so it took a minute to get use to, but they do feel better, and you can set the controller down without one of the paddles hitting your desk, which happens on the series 1. Also having a rechargeable battery is great.

    This controller is great for playing xbox in a competitive way! My first series 2 had a few issues with bumpers, but now I have this one and it’s working great. I definitely suggest the geek squad protection to help with any shortages or stickiness to the buttons.

    I always felt the Xbox controllers felt to be good quality, but the Elite controller takes it to the next level. This definitely feels like great build quality. The paddle shifters take a while to get used to, but once you do it really helps take your gaming to the next level.

    Controller is very nice, but as many reviews have stated the build quality isn’t the best. Sure is nice though, but definitely not worth $180. If you have the money for it, you should buy the warranty, which is another $60 so yeah it’s really pricey.
