    I got this controller for my dad as a gift. I already had one for years. Once you tried this you can never go back to a regular controller, they feel like toys after.

    Best controller for Xbox gaming. Vast improvement from the 1st gen elite controller, and is an excellent addition for the Xbox series X. Mapping is easy and better life is perfect. This is a brilliant piece of hard wear for any elite gamer.

    The Controller overall is pretty good however there’s Joy-con drift it’s not that high but it’s still bothersome to see on a brand new item, Love the paddles and the trigger stoppers the grip is grate as well.

    My husband spends time on his Xbox most every night. He has had the original Elite controller ever since it first came out. Someone we know accidentally broke one of the bumpers, so I surprised him with this for Christmas. He loves it even more than his last one, and that's saying something.

    The four paddles on the back allow for quick and easy remapping of buttons. I like that I can have save up to three different versions for different games.

    Open box saved me over $80 and the controller was as good as new, not a single part missing. Save your money, buy open box.

    After going through controllers, I decided to upgrade to the Elite. Feels great in your hands and should last longer based on build quality.

    Heavier than the plastic controllers makes for a more comfortable grip. I was originally uncertain on the paddles (20 years of muscle memory with buttons), but actually makes for more enjoyable game play in first-person shooters. Highly recommend even for the “older” gamers.

    Overall this is a solid controller and feels great in the hand, the one downfall is when it gets stick drift and you’re unable to fix it in the settings. Other than that the controller is worth it given the hefty price tag.

    It is a great controller for going pro or other (etc) but my only issue was the bumpers stop working and need to have pressure applied to them
