    Upgraded to this controller after my regular one died. This one is great. The paddles make for quicker gameplay and the battery lasts all day easily. Plus it feels more solid than the regular ones.

    This is 100% better than the elite 1 hands down with the additional trigger stops and just the feel. USB-C is a great addition but controller drift is beyond frustrating. Elite 1 had the bumpers break but never drift. I'd love to buy again but if drift starts I suggest returning. I will say I am very happy Microsoft is attempting to support the more serious gamers but this happened within weeks of purchase.

    The elite 2 controller is amazing. Why could you charge so much for less . If you buy this controller the (CORE) version. You have to turn around and spend about another 150 for the extra buttons . Now if you buy the black elite 2 controller you get a carry case ,all the extra buttons ,and charge dock for it . Almost forgot and the black on is cheaper then the white one and you get more for a better price . I have both controllers this core still in box just havent had time to take it back

    The quality is not too much better than the basic Xbox controller, and it is much heavier than the basic controller. The reason I buy it is for its four back paddles. I do not recommend it for its quality and current price if you do not need the back paddles. I have three of them, this is the third one. Two previous ones failed at some point in a year. One has a drift stick, and the other's stick does no click. Microsoft really needs to do better job for a more quality product.

    This controller replaced my series 1 controller. I like how you can tighten the sticks and it is still a comfortable grip. The only thing is the grip is slicker then the original so it slides a little more.

    Excellent quality, remapping buttons are super easy with the Xbox Accessories app. Ultra high quality materials, buttons, and paddles. Rechargeable battery is long lasting. Price is pretty steep, but 100% worth it if you are serious about gaming
