    It works great, but a little over 2 months and it keeps shutting on and off. I think its the C port cable. It keeps saying reconnect controller.

    Best controller out there. Great weight, and good quality feel. Only complaint, that some will consider a positive, is the built in rechargeable battery. I prefer Eneloop standard batteries rather than non-user replaceable battery that certainly will degrade. The prices on this has fallen so it is much more reasonable price than the original MSRP.

    This controller so far has been the greatest experience with a controller I’ve had. The grip is outstanding, the customizability of it is extraordinary and the weight really gives it that premium controller feel. Definitely recommend this controller. I don’t think I have anything negative to say besides every now and then I have to clean the controller to clear up any dust, which is nothing, an easy cleanse every week or so and you’re set.

    I mean, what a difference is playing with this controller. I finally decided to spend some money to see if i would notice a difference from a regular controller and man! Difference is an understatement. I will never play with a regular controller again in my life. If you really enjoy video games , you deserved one of this

    Amazing overall however, the durability is not quite there for the price. On my 2nd controller due to wear and tear or button smashed inside controller in 3 years. Otherwise, it's very nice feeling and works great

    History of remotes I've used: Razor wolverine ultimate Razor wolverine Xbox elite 1 Various standard xbox remotes The Elite 2 far surpasses all of these remote with its customizable triggers and analog sticks. The new and improved paddles on the back make for better ergonomic handling while they are attached. The improved bumpers are a great step up from the elite 1 which I have broke in more than one occasion just from wear n tear. Buy and enjoy!

    Just buy it! It’s a great controller with back levers you can program. It has a number of profiles you can save on the controller. Three profiles you can rotate to quickly. It’s very responsive and has quickly become my favorite controller!

    Nice controller. A little pricey for a controller that lasts on average a year for me and my family. Not that it is bad, just for me paying that much every year kind of sucks.

    This controller is really a set up from the regular controllers. Feel good in hand, alot of options, back pedal, cable, and you have the option for different mappings. 10 out 10

    If you are a fan of the newest standard controller that ships with Series X|S and are wanting something more from your controller; this Elite Series 2 might be the tool to improve your game. I'm a Halo player and it's fun to be able to map, save, and switch Slots depending on which Halo game I am playing. Muscle memory is key, and this controller has left me satisfied for the future.

    Not worth the price

    The controller feels great and well built. The ease of swapping out the joysticks or removing paddles is amazing. But with all that being said i do not believe this controller is worth its hefty price tag. You can buy 4 or 5 regular controllers for the price of this, or even a console. Way too expensive so in the end decided to return it.

    The most versatile controller there is. Easier customization than other controller and the memory slots are saved to the controller using the X-box accessories app.

    The controller feels sturdy, it is responsive, and I like being able to change pieces out to suit my gameplay needs. The battery lasts forever, and the controller has some weight to it.
