    Overall this controller is as it is marketed “elite”. The controller feels premium. Holding it side by side with a standard xbox controller this one feels way better. Totally would recommend.

    Absolutely love this controller. I use it for my Xbox but I also use it for CODM on my iPhone, It's a game changer for that game. it has a good feel to it the paddles are in a good area and they are easy to use. I would tell anyone to pick this up if you can it's worth it.

    Gotta give Microsoft credit cuz they made the Elite controller even better. Solid built but I’m just waiting to see if there will be any stick drift I’m with this in the future. As of this review I’m 2 months in and so far so good. I don’t care for the grips, I’m hoping scuf comes out with their grips for this soon but other than that I think this is a perfect controller.

    Bought this for my son for Christmas. He loves it, but within 6 months it’s acting up and a couple of the buttons don’t work or don’t work well.

    This has been a great purchase. I bought it for my teenage son and he actively uses it for gaming. He is rough on controllers and it has been solid.

    So I bought this controller on the word of my teenager….He knows his stuff!! The controller isn’t even the best part! The extra paddles and extended charging cord definitely make this a worthwhile investment. Customization for what you prefer is what makes this a worthwhile purchase :)

    Elite 2 is a step in the right direction!

    I think this controller is a step in the right direction for Xbox, because this controller here feels and handles more like an elite controller. The movements are flawless and effortless, plus the battery last longer and you charge the controller by putting it back in its case! It also shows the battery balance that let you know it's time to recharge!

    Good controller though problems with drift occur and I've had to replace. I like the controller, though a bit heavy, and Best Buy honors their warranty.

    Awesome controller. Customization is great. Love being able to change the color of the Xbox light. No AA batteries to use or batteries to buy or pack great.

    Game like a pro with this controller. I was hesitant at first but when unboxing and feeling the metal controls and quality building this controller I knew it was the right move

    Do your research. The extra sticks underneath mimic the other buttons. At least on games I play there is no custom mapping. The quality is great the battery live is awesome.

    This is my second elite controller. Had the original version when I was console gaming but have switched to pc but haven't gotten used to the whole keyboard/ mouse combo yet. So far no stick drift and love the trigger locks and programmable buttons. Feels better than the wolverine ultimate I used to game with
