    I was on the hook due to price but after purchasing I was surprised how much I enjoyed using this controller. I like the different opinions available to me. The controller itself is nice and comfortable. You have the option of changing the joysticks, triggers can be set to different sensitivity, paddles can be set for quick access during game play. You can also go into the controller settings for different joystick game play options. I don't see myself using a regular controller again. There's also a nice case with a dock to recharge your controller.

    This controller is definitely built with quality. I feel if i drop it its going to damage my floor… the extra paddles on the back are a little much from my brail to process still but I’m working on that. The colors are customizable too which is cool. My only complaint is that the rubber on the grips feels a little slick at times but I’m sure they’ll wear in. Either way I’m still very happy with this controller.

    Joy Sticks wear out to easy should be an auto recalibration tool in xbox series X, S Xbox 1 , may prolong the joy sticks and controller better along with better or more durability hardware used for the movement and hardware/ parts thats attached to joy sticks all the moving parts.

    I got an open box in good condition controller. The only thing missing was the directional pad that you can see on most pictures. Otherwise, perfect condition, all other parts and connected fast to my Xbox.

    I’ve got about a month usage out of this thing so I think I finally can give an honest review. Let me start by saying this is the best controller I’ve ever had. I mainly play first person shooters so not having to take my thumbs off the sticks has helped me out a ton. The ability to map different profiles for different games and change them on the fly is awesome. If your skeptical about purchasing so was I but now I have no regrets! The level of customization from the trigger stops, to joystick selection, the ability to change the tension on the sticks is unmatched and you will find the perfect setup that works for you!

    I had the first Elite controller and it had a lot of quality issues. The rubber grips would peel up after a few months and on one the sticks became very loose to the point where if you turned the control upside down they would move out a quarter of an inch. Luckily I had Geek Squad protection so when these issues came up I was able to get a replacement. So far with the Series 2 I have had none of these issues. I have put several hundred outs on this controller and it is still as solid as the day I bought it. The built in battery is nice too and lasts a very long time between charges.

    This is a very good controller. It took my gaming to a new level. It has a switch on the underside that shortens or lengthens the pull of the triggers. A really great feature. You also have the option to change thumbsticks that come with varying lengths and shapes. And it’s done magnetically. It also has 4 paddles underneath the controller that can be mapped for different functions...I found this too advanced for me. And perhaps the best feature feature is the way it feels in your hands, it’s much more comfortable than the one that comes with the Xbox.

    Not for everyone. It is a great controller even for the money, but it is a different experience and for windows gaming it seems to give me a little trouble with Bluetooth compared to a standard BT Xbox controller. If you like Quality, customization, and ascetics this controller is for you.

    Controller is very high quality, all buttons and triggers function as they should. The magnetic change of sticks and D pad is a nice touch that feels secure and I have yet to have one come loose mid play. Case is nice quality and the ability to charge while inside is a nice feature. Price is higher than I would prefer but for a nice controller I can see the justification. Features are perfect for FPS titles but have yet to see a need on other games. If you mainly play FPS and want a quality controller I would recommend this.
