    Game changer in my FPS games. The ability to save 3 different profiles is great because I play multiple games.

    One of the main reason why I got Xbox Series X instead of Ps5 is because of this controller. A true premium controller. Excellent!

    Awesome controller! Has many customizable options and settings that can be stored for different games. A little pricy but worth it.

    Had the controller for about 10 months. It's a great controller but the lack of reliability keeps me from recommending it. A normal Xbox One controller will last 6-8 months for me (No, I'm not hard on my controller I just use it a lot). So instead of spending another $60 on a regular controller I paid $180 for an Elite Series 2 controller. It's a really well built controller, very comfortable for long periods of use, good battery life, and tons of customization using the app. I didn't buy this controller to use the extra buttons on the back or for the swappable sticks/D-pad. I bought this expecting something that would last me longer than a standard Xbox One controller typically does- I was sick of replacing them twice a year. Up on the D-pad has started to double press, while left and right require a lot more pressure. The left analog stick is drifting constantly. The A button doesn't stick exactly but it's definitely not as responsive as the B,X,Y ones. There are some issues with the vibration as well (will swap between slight vibration and jackhammer randomly).

    The Elite v1 was good... it had its problems! The Elite v2 has solved all the issues of the v1 and made an exceptionally designed controller! I love it!

    The controller is fantastic. I definitely can't say it's a necessity. But, it adds a new element to gaming. The adjustable controls are a great feature
