    The controller is great and Microsoft is currently making it more repairable so if you get it, you’ll have it for a long time. but I would look out for elite series 3 soon

    Best controller for gaming. Extremely durable and easy to use, switch or clean. Had it for 3 years and never had a problem. Several people bought this after my recommendation and loved it

    The things I like is the solid feeling it has, the full grip in the handles, buttons are more responsive, the sticks pressure can be changed, it is Bluetooth compatible, has a rechargeable battery and a charging stand, and much more customizations and joysticks compared to the first version.

    Very nice controller, easy to adjust to your requirements. Buttons are crisp and able to be adjusted as are the joysticks. The only draw back is a known issue with these controllers, stick drift. I had to return my first one after 5 months due to extreme drift in the left controller.

    Love this controller. Very comfortable for multi hour long sessions. I use this on my desktop gaming rig after adding a small bluetooth receiver. Highly customizable, but after picking the stick options I wanted I haven't really switched them out. Nice that it is rechargeable too. Would buy this again.

    Love the pieces being held magnetically and the Bluetooth capability. The option of easily switching between devices (PC to Xbox vice versa) with the push of the same button twice is something that I never thought I needed.

    Yes it's expensive for a controller but totally worth it compared to the older elite controller. Build quality is so much better with no glued on grip pieces like the older controller, ability to customize stick tension, and durable materials. After using the elite controllers it's a serious downgrade using regular xbox controllers again.

    If you’re serious about shooters, you have to have a controller like this. Only issue is they wear down fast. Get the warranty

    Amazing, I recommend this to anyone who is a true gamer and looking for an amazing controller that you won’t ever have to buy batteries again. Also the extra buttons you can set to any button and also set up three different profiles for different games. With a switch of a button.

    I fist got the fusion pro A so sadly this wasn’t my first experience with a paddle controller. Though I can say that this upgrade was very much worth every penny. Size and feel of the grips is spot on and the customization options software and the joy stick options are perfect!

    Battery life is awesome. Played most of the weekend and still had half life in the battery. Adjustment of the left and right triggers gives an advantage on fps games.
