    Love the paddles and the design. However, the controller disconnects from my Xbox randomly and the RB button often is jammed or hard to use which messes me up while playing competitive games. Other than that it’s a great controller…. Just maybe not worth the price for the issues.

    Has all the features of my custom ordered controller for other platforms for a fraction of the price. Has extra pieces to interchange for additional customization. Totally worth the price and feels great.

    Got this for my son. He has the series 1 and said that there have been some improvements to it in this version. Something about the share button and the trigger having three depth settings so you can use it at a faster rate.

    Improves on the original! In this model, the case is textured unlike the previous model which had glued on rubber grips. Better in every way, only questionable downgrade is the paddles are smaller than the Elite controller 1.

    Another great Microsoft product. Purchased to improve gaming experience with series X and more importantly Halo Infinite. The step up is noticeable, input lag improved and customization is a boost!
