    If you want to elevate your gameplay get this controller. It’s sturdy, holds a long charge, and the paddles are game changing.

    At first I thought the 200+ price point was outrageous but actually using the controller I can see why it was necessary. The controller is great, at first the diamond textured grips felt wierd but i got used to it. I have been using this non stop and the best part is I barely have to charge it. I played games for an entire week on one battery charge which to me is pretty outstanding. And the adjustable control sticks just make it all come together. Whatever game I choose to play the sticks are able to support the comfort and usefulness that i look for. I highly recommend this as a pick up.

    Impressed with how much of a upgrade the elite 2 is compared to the elite 1, it brought a smile to my face and was not regretting my purchase as soon as I held the elite 2 in my hands! The improved choices of analog sticks makes the controller feel like it was made for you. Having 3 configuration for the back paddle mapping compared to the 2 on the elite1 is the prefect amount, with also having a default setting making it seem like 4 button mapping layouts. Would recommend to anyone especially the to the elite gamers who want the most out of their gaming experience!

    A little pricey but if you have the money and love gaming, this controller is definitely worth it. Every single button is customizable and so is the brightness/color of the xbox logo. Magnetic swappable switches and joysticks are awesome, as is the weight and feel of the controller.

    The Xbox controller is a standout performer with exceptional battery life. It comfortably lasts through extended gaming sessions without frequent recharging. The ergonomic design offers a comfortable grip, and responsive buttons enhance gameplay. It's a top choice for console gamers looking for a reliable and long-lasting controller.

    I do not use it enough to justify buying it but it is a great controller. Customizing the length of pull on the triggers is nice and the paddles on the back are great as well. Comes with a lot of ways to adjust the controller to fit your hand the way you want it. Bottom 2 paddles get in the way of my hands sometimes so I do not use those for the most part.

    Great product, quality feel and brings a better gaming experience to the Xbox platform. Purchase this as a gift and can tell you the person who has used it for the last month won’t touch a regular Xbox One controller now lol. This controller has allowed for them to make the needed adjustments to in game play as well as being able to charge the controller (no more battery replacements) and this means no longer using third battery chargers, battery packs and worrying about why they only have 3 - 6 month warranties. This product is genuine Microsoft and is the quality you would expect.

    Once I got used to the elite controller I feel like i cant go back to the regular one. My Elite 2 RB started to go bad after 2 years of 20+ hour gameplay per week. Got this one as it is cheaper and I already had the extra assessories. I did also purchase the Best Buy 2 year warrenty just in case. So far everything works great and I checked all functions in the Xbox Assesories app when it arrived. So far I would recommend this.
