    Great controller for Xbox gaming

    Great controller for Xbox games. I use it for all of my games, but bought it especially for Call of Duty since it has several adjustable components. I do not mind skipping the extra joysticks and charging case, so I did not need to spend more money on the more expensive elite controller.

    I will say this controller is perfect in every way and you'll pay a premium for it. I've used mine for 3 years now and its held up pretty well. I did have to take it apart and follow a tutorial on cleaning the insides specifically the right bumper. It was a pretty simple fix and works like new just need some 90+ alcohol rubbed on the bumper contacts.

    Dislike that the bumpers are always the first to go, the grips come off pretty easily, and the stick drift happens way too early in its life. Overall still like the remote, just wish it was produced better similar to the Xbox 360 remotes.

    I love the controller and the buttons on the back. But some times the front buttons (A,B,X,Y) are not very responsive. Even so the controller it’s awesome.

    Love the paddles, a must if you are playing fps, I owned two of the original elite controllers and the quality was better. The new elite core seems to not permit multiple inputs at the same time prioritizing set moves before others which can mess with the gaming experience.

    Great controller for Hardcore Gamer

    This is a great controller! Obviously, the high price makes it worthwhile only if you are a lifelong gamer but, “ You get what you pay for” This controller has a heavier feel, there are apps to control fine adjustments and everything works that much better. Make sure to purchase the protection plan because even though this is a high quality controller, things break and this will also. One difference between this and the series 1 controller is that this one has a rechargeable battery built in, I don’t know about the battery life so far but this could be a good or bad thing. We shall see. This is a great controller nonetheless

    I tried playing claw practiced for a few months but just never could get the hang of it (call me lazy for giving up) I saw this controller and it became the answer to all my problems and even made more other stuff even better. It comes with multiple joy sticks I use most of them for different games I normally only switch the D pad to mess around but I'm sure someone has a use for it. Not a serious gamer but definitely upped my game to a whole new level love it. Only issue is one of the joy sticks loosen and can spin but I tightened it and haven't had a problem since.

    Love the elite controllers. Would have liked for this to come with the accessory pack, but it’s still very good, if overpriced
