    Improvement over the Series 1 Controller

    So far, this seems like MS took the shortfalls of the Series 1 controller and addressed each one. This fits my hand better, has more personalization, and is rechargeable. I am concerned that the battery is not replaceable, not only for longevity, but on those long gaming sessions. Time will tell if the battery will outlast my ability to game for extended hours. Bought the extended warranty just in case this has similar problems with the bumper buttons or joystick drift over time.

    The controller is great, responsive, and has all the bells and whistles you expect for an elite controller. I wish I had known that the mapping would be limited to the games.

    The Elite controller makes gaming so much better. The buttons aren't loud, and don't feel so blocky like the basic controllers that come with the XB1X systems.

    I love the controller. It has a nice tight grip around, the controller is a little bigger than the normal controller which is nice because normal controllers are too small for my hands while this one, is the perfect size for me. The paddles on the back is so useful for when gaming

    Definitely a good upgrade and worth the price. It's nice having the ability to adjust how stiff you want the toggles as well as the triggers travel distance. With it also being able to switch between different toggles and d-pads, makes it worth every penny

    I only use one of the paddles but i like all the extra customization options. Definitely only buying one to use. I like it comes with a very ling maybe 2 meter charging cable that i can utilize for other things as well. The cable is also covered in some mesh not some cheap chargibg cable.

    Multiplayer Game Changer

    This controller is unbelievable, I've had it since launch and my Apex game has definitey improved because of it. Being able to adjust the tension on the analog sticks and change to a short tigger pull for semi-autos is amazing. I had the first Gen Elite Controller and the right bumper keep breaking, but the new one is flawless. I took out the bestbuy 2 year warranty since I was paranoid of 1st gen issues. You can't go wrong with this controller especially if you find it onsale.

    Probably the best controller on the market. Some nice improvements on the original, especially the internal long lasting battery and adjustable thumb stick tension. That being said, I unfortunately got one with somewhat busted thumb sticks. Super jangly and loose, noticeably more so than my old and well worn elite series 1. I guess some controllers leave the factory better than others. I’ll be using my geek squad to grab a new one.

    This controller is heavier than the regular Xbox controller. You can change out thumb sticks, d-pad and paddles. The thumb sticks have adjustable tension and it allows you to save four presets including the default to the controller (double the first elite controller). The triggers have three settings which are good for those needing to setup for faster shooting in games. This is a durable alternative to the original controller and totally worth the investment for serious gamers.

    These are good for what they are. The controller itself is a bit heavy. The sticks have very bad stick drift after just a few months.

    This controller feel great in the hand qnd is easy to use. This completely changes everything when you play competitive games and helps even thinga up a bit in the "cross platform" world. Between never having to pull my fingers from the thumbsticks and the hair triggers you shave enough ms off your actions to give you a greater chance against the PC guys... I dont miss the mouse and keyboard anymore now.

    I Love this controller, every button besides the triggers has a replacement and differnt sizes and shapes you can swap out. my favorite feature is the battery it comes with a wireless charger that fits in its carrying case, and the battery has held a charge over 4 days it also works better than any other controller ive used for pc!

    Love gaming with this. Stick drift is the only con. I usually get it right out of the box and it gets worse as time goes on. Get the warranty and you can replace it. Im on my 4th one
