    Feels well built and the modularity is awesome! Love the heavier tension on the sticks and short throw on the triggers.

    This is my second controller, and it tends to wear out as you use it. I would recommend a credit card that adds a warranty or pay for a warranty for when it breaks

    Having the elite controller helps out with a lot of games by allowing you to keep your thumbs on the joy cons at all times. The only thing I recommend is getting the protection plan since the buttons will wear down pretty fast

    Absolutely amazing remote the only reason didn't get 5 stars because the price is so ridiculously high. Thankfully Best buy price matched this so it was affordable, I love the remote!

    Just a regular controller with a fancy name

    Don’t let the stars fool you, it is a great product, the thing is that because of the price and the actual usability of the controller makes it impossible for me to give it a better rating. It is a luxury item, and it can help you go pro, but’s that’s it. Other than the back pedals it offers the difference between a regular controller and this is minimal. Both controllers will get stick drift and if you are no good at the game, the controller is useless.

    The battery is just amazing. Also you can change the color on the controller where the xbox logo is. The weight is just perfect and the customizing is endless. Worth the buy

    I was deciding on this controller or a scuff. Ultimately this won out for the price and personal preference on the location of the back paddles. I bought this controller to play COD and make use of the hair triggers and back paddles. Best decision I’ve made in a controller.

    This controllers battery has a long battery charge and I like they use a C type charging cable. This second generation Xbox elite controller is a lot better than the first generation controller because they did Add more upgrades to it to customize it to your play style

    Really nice. My son loves it for the games he plays. Fortnight is good with it because of the paddles he can build immediately without backing out and the other games work real well with it. The paddles are very convenient. Pricy though.

    I like all the customizations that can be done. I like that it's a little heavy so I can't accidentally throw it in the air.
