    The controller is pretty great, works very well and the battery lasts long enough to play for hours a day. The charger cord included is very long and all the accessories very much improve the quality.

    Love the feel of the controller, a good bit heavier than the standard ones. Rear paddles take time getting used to, but are helpful.

    Significant improvement over the series 1

    The only problem with this elite controller is that they seem to still have not done anything about the subpar left and right bumpers. They are just cheap plastic. Everything else is great quality, serious improvement over the first series. Feels better all around.

    Awesome controller. I was very hesitant on spending so much more that a standard controller but very glad I did. Buttons are easy to change and configure and makes a huge difference in gameplay. If you are a gamer you want this

    Great Design without Durability

    Tough to review as I love this product, but I also hate it as I'm on my third controller. Its a fantastic product for what its designed to do, but it's a terrible product because the quality is terrible. Bumpers and paddles break, usually sometime between 12-24 months. I would rarely suggest this, but if you buy this, make sure you get the 2-year Geek Squad coverage.

    My son is huge into video games. I almost fell over when he told me how much it was but he also explained why it was so expensive. I was sold. I was tired of purchasing controllers. Since I bought this a year ago I haven't had to replace it.

    Core Elite Red is beautiful. Love the red cord as well. Do not use the paddles. Love the app to customize every button. Makes a difference.
