    This is by far the best looking and most simplistic controller to use. The hair triggers are a phenomenal design to enhanced your gaming experience. All the customization with the paddles, thumb-sticks, etc is a plus.

    I would definitely give this controller 5 stars if this was the first Elite controller you purchased. I wouldn’t rate it 5 stars if you already have the first model. A few definitely marked improvements; my favorites being the anti slip grip, the shortened paddles on the back, and the 3 customizable settings. If you have the first version, I could argue on not getting this one and hopefully waiting for a 3rd version (you know there will be another). First time buyer; I’d recommend it. Already have the first; I’d wait, unless your wallet is burning a hole in your pocket and you would also want the aforementioned features.

    Solid controller.. everything felt high quality and a lot of ways to customize.. the only reason i returned it is because i want to try a controller with paddles beside each other versus on top of each other...

    10/10 recommend. The stock controller is fine but I was used to the ps4 rechargeable features built in. I bought the Xbox rechargeable batteries that just plug in to recharge but the battery life was not amazing. This controller has a longer battery life with better buttons and more features than I’ll use. Plus the color is fire.

    If you have a regular Xbox controller, put it down and go get your hands on an elite. You’ll never want to pick up another controller again. The craftsmanship alone changes your game. The quality of this controller feels amazing! Not to mention all the quality of life changes they’ve made to the series 2! Better textured grip, more profile customization, the ability to fine tune your stick sensitivity and not to mention never having to change the batteries again! With 40 hrs of charge time just sit back and enjoy your game and when your done, just place that bad boy right back in the case to charge it up again. What are you waiting for? Go out and get one now!

    Really good controller. comes with a travel case, docking charger, usb type c connector, and customizable thumb stick pads. highly recommend for games that require fast reflex due to the pads on the backside. The customizable triggers are bonus for fps games, you can tightened down trigger hair to desire.

    Controller is fantastic! After two years it has worked really well. Little stick drift in the right stick, but nothing that renders it unusable.
