    Feels good in my hand when playing video games. I like the extra functionality that the paddles add. It feels a little heavy, but not enough to bother long play sessions.

    I purchased this because the price was really good with the "member price". Now I do not care about color, but the red was cheaper than the white or blue, so that is what I purchased. I already had a Elite Series 2 controller that has some pretty severe stick drift in the right thumbstick, so I was able to get this and just use all of the accessories from that controller with it.

    I had a white one and bought this one for my brother. You cannot see in the picture that the bumper, trigger, and backside are glossy blue.

    I got this as an open box item. It didnt have the box for it but I understand that. Did come with everything else which was nice. Controller is nice. The top bumpers are a little stiff but i figure the more I use it the looser they will get. Over all nice controller. A little heavy too. I would recommend it though. Def helps with movement in fps games.

    This controller comes stripped of the paddles and the charging station which is fine. I already have that from the previous elite and it was nice to save some money.

    The Core controller is good enough for the price. I definitely would buy the accessories but not necessary, just wanted to get an extra one so my son and I can play together.

    It's awesome, but do yourself a favor & get some kind of extended warranty. Tends to wear out quickly. I've replaced a couple over the past 2 yrs.

    Having owned the 1st elite series controller I didn’t think this one would be that much better, but I was wrong. This controller improves almost every aspect of the Series 1. The wrap around grips are excellent. My series 1 grips started to fall off and I don’t see that being a problem on this one. I love that it’s slightly smaller than the 1st. Because of that I can actually use all 4 back paddles comfortably. The thumbsticks and triggers feel great. The controller now has a rechargeable battery built in and can be charged by placing it on the charger that’s in it’s case. Overall a great improvement and a fantastic controller. If you play call of duty, Fortnite, etc you need this controller.
