    Love it! Great response and feel, but does seem to lose connection at random times. But reconnects after a few minutes. Hopefully an update will fix that issue. Other than that, it’s the best controller I’ve had yet.

    Definitely not the perfected version, but the elite offers improved comfort, functionality, and durability that comp and pro players need.

    Solid controller. Old one finally died off after 5+ years. No more batteries is the best!

    Performance improvement was immediately noticed. I got $40 off retail on the sale and couldn't be happier. My only complaint would be they only provide on long thumb stick and you cant buy another one easy.

    This newer version of the elite controller has some added new features that really set it apart from regular controllers. The case also includes a charging dock which you can connect through the case if you wanted. Absolutely worth it if you can fit this in your budget.

    This controller is worth every dollar. It feels premium, the buttons are premium, highly customizable, additional buttons, and icing on the cake is that it comes with a rechargeable battery and charging stand built in.

    I only got this model because I needed a replacement and my store was out of the "pro" version. When they say "core," they mean what you see pictured is what you get. The biggest draw to the elite controller is the customizable parts and additional mappable paddle buttons. None of that comes with this.

    Really good controller. The built-in charging station is one of the best features. It got rid of the old charging stations and rechargeable batteries.

    This controller feels extremely nice, feels very well built. You must buy the protection plan because it will break. In a sample size of 3, all three have broken in less than six months each. Left analog stick drift on one, the headphone jack on another, and the left bumper fell out on another. This is not from hard use at all, they haven’t been thrown dropped etc. For being 3x the price of the standard controller this one should have higher quality components.

    Today i bought my third one of the course of four years. Its a great controller but I’ll save you the time reading everything about it on Reddit … They break. Just from normal use, they break. God forbid it falls off a coffee table. They feel rugged but they aren’t. I had to replace the last one because the pairing button was pressed and just stayed pressed. So today I got a core controller a two year Geek Squad.
