    I don't know why I spend so much money on a controller because I'm a PC gamer. Only use this thing for Street fighter and sports games. Great quality and customization options but truthfully could have just gotten by with the regular controller. Can't recommend because of the price and if you really want great control just get a PC and switch to keyboard and mouse

    The high price tag is worth it and the paddles are a game changer. It feels like a premium controller. I use this controller for steam and pc games. it works great and you charge it with the carrying case.

    Needed to replace my original elite series 2 controller but didn’t want to spend full price to get all the extras that I already have. This option is great in my opinion. Lower cost, same high quality and if you already have the paddles, case, sticks and charger or if you don’t care about those, this fits the bill.

    So, I was a little bit hesitant to purchase such an expensive controller. Hell, it’s half the price of the Xbox itself. However, this thing is built like a tank. I wouldn’t be worried about a fit of rage and throwing it across the room. Well, except for the whole to leave in the wall. The buttons are amazing. They have finesse, and take control. This thing just fits perfect in your hand. I have never felt a controller that I’ve enjoyed as much. I wish it was not so expensive, however to get this level of precision machinery, he’s got to be worth it. Overall, I am very pleased that I spent the money on it.

    Comfortable and good ergonomics. Easy set up. Battery duration could be better. Good thing I got it on sale otherwise I would return it and it wouldn't be worth the regular price.

    This is a really nice controller. Smoother and more precise than my old xbox one controllers. Apparently the "Core" version doesn’t come with any parts for some of the extra levers, so I had to drop $20 online for some aftermarket levers for the back of the controller.

    This is a great controller. It's a little bit bigger and feels more sturdy. Took a min to get used to the tiny size difference. So far no issues. I love the triggers ypu can add as well as the different settings you can set . I also love that we can connect to phones as well.

    Broke after 2 months Warranty did nothing

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The right bumper broke after two months. I had a 2 year BBY warranty. The controller is sold out at the store and online. So I left best buy with a broken controller and no replacement. They would not give me my money back. I called Microsoft for their warranty. They transfered me all around an I never got to the right department. I have to schedule a visit with Microsoft and drive to one of their stores if I want anny assistance. This is my 5th Elite controller that has broken. I switched from Sony to Microsoft because of Halo. I am getting the ps5 this year not the xbox series x or whatever in 2020. I have a photo of 3 of the 5 broken controllers surrounded by working controllers attached.

    Can't go back to the regular controllers.

    I've owned several of the Elite 1 and 2 controllers and it feels weird using the regular ones. I initially bought the controller to lower the brightness of the xbox button. But, now I like the feel and weight of the Elites amd can't go back. I do t use all the attachments. I do chanhe the depth feature of the triggers when playing online shooters. Probably doesn't help me.
