    Great controller but i would like it to come with both d pads ( standard one and faceted one). I prefer the standard ( square d pad) so i got one and swapped out the faceted d pad and its great. So thats why 4 stars.

    I love this thing. Nothing like running the battlefield with ease when you're using this controller. If you're into flying in Battlefield, this is well worth the month. With the accessory app, you can even set a macro to "dip dip potato chip" with a single tap of a paddle. Highly recommended!

    By far the best controller ive ever played with! It fits in the hands very nice. Holding the controller is incredible! And youll never run out of ways to set up this controller to make it your own! I just wish there were more colors.

    Initially, I was hesitant in purchasing this device solely because of its price tag. A friend suggested that the controller is worth the price: She was right. The elite controller feels premium and definitely feels leagues above the standard xbox and even series controller. The convenience of the paddles adds a layer of quickness that makes game play feel more immersive and smooth. A hefty price tag, but if you have the money it is well worth the price.

    Excellent controller. Love the interchangeable sticks and the adjustable vibration and trigger! The texture of the grip area is incredible. The price is high, but totally worth everything that comes with it.

    Thisbis my 4th elite controller. The controller itself is amazing but it will not stand up to the riggers of competitive play. It lasts me about a year before I start losing the RB button and about a month later I'll develop drift. The controller us amazing beyond those issues.

    By far the heaviest of the XBox controllers out there mainly due to a 40 hour rechargeable battery. The rubberized grips do make it a much more pleasant controller to use. Easier to hold on to. The variety of buttons and sticks is always nice and they are simple and easy to replace. Extra buttons with three button profiles to save to. With an indicator light to tell you which profile you are using. The charging hub is not large and can easily sit on top of the console. Con: Expensive!

    this controller is excellent for PC gamers. Amazing build quality and minimal customization on triggers and thumbsticks make it an amazing controller for all types of games! I would definitely buy another one but i’m sure I wont need to!

    The elite controller is one of the nicest controllers made but with a bunch of annoying flaws. This version 2 has a ton of things improved on it that are much needed. The internal battery is honestly a downgrade for longevity for when it goes bad you'll have to tear it down to replace it. I'd prefer the AA's all day for longevity. otherwise amazing controller.

    I have owned the original Elite controller for years. I have replaced parts rather than purchased this newer version, but i am extremely happy with the upgrade. This controller is lighter and feels great in my hands. I am sorry I didnt replace my original elite controller sooner.

    I had my eyes on this for a while. Bit the bullet after missing out on Black Friday sales but i love the purchase! Its been helpful on games and Fps. And it feels premium with its padding and grip and extra tactical buttons.

    Definitely one of the most user friendly and well thought controllers around. Well worth the premium if you use a console controller frequently. I will say the triggers aren’t adaptive but manually modified so I’d love to see Microsoft’s take at adaptive triggers. Sony had a good idea but I don’t believe the execution was the greatest and would love to see it make its way towards Microsoft’s design.
