    Excellent Purchase - Small Caveat

    Controller is excellently customizable, easy to use, but slightly over-priced compared to comparable controllers in my opinion. Only really negative is the paddles aren't as good as some other controllers - had to rearrange them to feel better for play.

    I was skeptical at first about spending so much on a controller, but after just one night of using it, I'm telling you, BUY THIS CONTROLLER! I used it with the new Modern Warfare and it stepped my game up tremendously. You can customize the paddles to whatever setup you'd like. It makes reloading, switching weapons, crouching, and jumping more fluid with not having to move your fingers all over the controller. It is a must from anyone who is competitive down to casual. No regrets. Worth Every Penny!

    Then this controller isn't for you. Just kidding. The Elite Series 2 controller caters to your every need. Does it feature excellent grips? Yes! Does it have multiple attachments? Yes! Will it cook for you? No, but it wishes it could! This bad boy has all the features of the previous Elite controller, with the addition of adjustable thumbstick tension, a profile quick-select button, and an extra trigger stop setting that'll help you spam-fire and miss your shots even faster now!

    I’ve had this controller over a year and have had no problems with it. I’m just an average game player so mostly bought this controller because I was tired of having to purchase a new regular controller every year and hoped this one would last longer. So far it has not disappointed. It is heavier than the regular controller but that doesn’t effect my opinion of it as it is still fairly comfortable to use. I like that you can swap out the controller sticks easily.

    This is my second elite controller. The first lasted almost 2 years before getting crushed in a suitcase, but it was perfect the entire time. Long battery life, great performance. Love the solid feel compared to the lighter stock controller.

    Picked this up a replacement for my last elite pro which I bough about 5 years Earlier. Saved myself the money on having an extra case as the extra paddles and knobs work on the new controller.

    If you are looking for a premium controller, this is a great choice. For the price this is one of the best paddle controllers you can get. All buttons are fully customizable with the software. If I played more controller this would be my everyday controller! love the charger and case that comes with it also. Used it with my computer and it worked great wired and wirelessly. I ended up returning it because I play mostly with mouse and keyboard.

    A lot of people have complained about the build quality of this controller. I have not had a single issue and think that it is way better than the default controller included with an xbox. It has a great weight and easily swappable joysticks, d-pad, triggers and everything. The ability to adjust the length of the trigger pulls is a great addition as well as the tension adjusters for the joysticks. The rubberized texture feels extremely good in the hands too!

    Premium Controller

    Controller is absolutely amazing. Everything with this feels premium and good to hold. All the accessories and customizations make this the top of the line for Xbox controllers. Price is pretty shocking but standard Xbox controllers tend to get worn out, especially around the joystick area and require buying a new one. Because of the premium materials and build, this thing should outlast standard controllers and not require a replacement after heavy use.

    It’s branded. It’s customizable. It’s built for PC and console. Works great, feels great. Even my sweaty hands appreciate the slight rubberized touch. The stick tops fall off if the controller falls. Don’t let it fall.
