    Best controller I’ve used, I love that it weighs more than most other controllers, it feels very good quality and I’d buy another one if I ever needed too!

    I bought the controller since my old series 2 was broken so i bought this one and it is definitely worth it. Besides the color not being the same there isnt much of a difference controller wise.

    I’ve owned two series 1 elites and so far this controller is quite the improvement for the most part. The buttons all feel about the same, but the grips seem to be implemented far better than the series 1’s grips. The only minor nitpick I have is the buttons (namely the paddles) feel almost too click (this is a matter of personal preference really), and they’re also slightly different in their shape compared to the series 1, which I thought it’s paddles were just fine and didn’t need tweaked. Other than that very minor gripe I think I love it. The rechargeable

    The elite controller is very well built and great for xbox or PC gaming. Very customizable from changing analog sticks to increasing the tension of the sticks. The rear additional paddles are a game changer! Opportunitys are endelss utilizing those, Though at a price point of close to $200 finding one on sale would be a great purchase!

    Had issue with Buttons going out! Controller is very solid and feels high quality. Quality control could use work for functionality! Heard not all of the controllers have issues so you could get lucky and if you do its probably the best controller out there when it works!

    Had the controller for 6 months, worked great, then R1 stopped being responsive. Now it takes a huge amount of force for it to register. Overall, the gamepad is ok, but besides the materials i think a regular series controller is better than this.

    Excellent quality and product. I adore the red color. My only complaint is the fragility of the sticks, but my geek squad protection makes me feel better about it.

    The controller has been rock steady for almost a year now and still performs flawlessly. It was easy to set up on the PC and has never had issues with connecting, or disconecting during gaming with the bluetooth connection. The battery life is very good as well, this will go several weeks without needing to charge for daily gaming. Highly recommend this product to anyone.
