    Like the heavier remote. Wish you could map out the extra buttons for more potential controls like mapping a PC keyboard. Previous owner clearly was hard on their equipment on even refurbished value was 3/5, maybe.

    Good, but buy warranty

    The elite controller feels more solid/heavier than a standard xbox controller and has more attachments for buttons/triggers which helps in a variety of games. I do recommend getting the warranty though because I had issues with my first one not connecting correctly and disconnecting randomly. My 2nd one has fared better but the nubs on the back that switches the tension fell off within the year. Other than that the battery life is good and it charges via USB-C.

    BEST GAMING CONTROLLER

    This is by far the best controller I’ve ever had. Excellent for FPS games, especially those with quick reaction time, this controller makes it quicker! The trigger stoppers and grips makes you feel so much more in the moment and definitely makes competitive gaming much more enjoyable. Even if you don’t have an Xbox, this is great for PC gaming as well!

    This is one of the most solid feeling controllers I've handled. The quality is on point, it feels good on hand, but the battery life on this exceeded expectations. More than a week and not having to charge it. I love the additional accessories that come with it and the carrying case makes it convenient especially for game pass on the go.

    I have used the elite2 since it came out. This new version without all the accessories included is such a great option for someone like me who wears through about every 2 years. Not important, but it’s my favorite color and that’s always a plus!

    This is my second elite controller. I've had it for a little over a year and the buttons are already going to crap. It gets a three because when it works it's great. However, I wouldn't recommend this controller to anyone.

    It feels much nicer than your run of the mill controller. As a casual gamer the back bunper buttons are kinda cool but take a lot of getting used to. The texturizes grips are great and the quality is good. Recommend grabbing on sale cause its not quite worth the full sticker price.

    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
