    Greatest Controller Ever

    This controller provides me the edge I need to decimate the 12 year old punks that like to hurl the n word at me with reckless abandon. I used to have nothing to say because of how badly these young assassins would kill me, but now thanks to this controller I can talk back to them with Yo Momma jokes and about how promiscuous their mother's and sister's are. Now I feel like a big man when I play video games because now I can win on the field of battle and in the trash talking game and send those prepubescent punks crying back to mama and it is all thanks to this controller.

    This controller works well,is comfortable to hold, but it is expensive. I do not recommend this to friends as I desire to continue to beat them with the rapid fire option.

    Great controller my husband really likes it. He had to get used to using the back buttons but he getting the hang of it. It’s not heavy and fit hands good. The charger and case is awesome.

    Fantastic controller, kind of annoying how you can’t lock the magnetic joysticks or d-pad in place. Sometimes you can easily flick them off, specifically the joysticks.

    So far so good. I've been using it for a month now and no issues. Hopefully this holds up. 1 year warranty. But again so far so good. I purchased this knowing i didn't feel the need for the extras , like the paddles. But maybe 1 day I'll change my mind. A full Charge on this controller last for a long while. About 30 to 40 hours on a single charge. Love the white and black color scheme. I never used the black elite 2 version. So i can't compare the two. But Overall I'm happy with this controller.

    I had a minor issue with the left trigger after about six months of use but shoving a cotton swab where it seemingly didnt belong seems to have resolved the issue! This controller has seriously improved my ability to get killed in Call of Duty by kids with significantly more free time than me! In all seriousness though, this controller has ruined other great controllers for me. I love the PS5 controller but can’t play Warzone on it because I’ve gotten so used to the back paddles on this one, without them I feel naked in the battlefield. And do you know what it’s like to be naked in a battlefield? Everyone can see your grenades, it’s not a good feeling.

    Best Xbox Controller There Is

    I have nothing bad to say about this controller. I realize some people in the past have had issues with their controllers breaking down. I have not been one of these people. I owned the Series 1 and loved it. Not with the Series 2 it has only gotten better. I think it's leap to say that it is drastically better, but it's defiantly better. I think the grips are nicer than the Series 1. The paddles feel tighter, which I like. And having the ability to adjust the thumb sticks is very nice. This is a solid, well built controller. But I will also say that if you hare happy with your original controller, you do not have to spend the extra money on one of these. This controller is a "want", not a "need".

    I own the Series 1 and it’s nice but this one is great! It’s super comfortable and smooth. Love the internal battery and the fact that you can charge it while it’s in the case.

    Real talk. This controller is great, while it works. Get the extended warranty either from the retailer you purchase it from, or direct from Microsoft. I have had 3 of the controllers all start to present issues within 1 year of purchase. Stick drift, bad bumpers or triggers and sticking A,B,X,Y buttons. No drops, no spills Moderate gaming use. Be warry. This is sold as a premium product, and IMO the quality and durability falls far short of the price tag.
