    Controller is good compared to the regular Xbox controllers, however after 10 months the right bumper started to give out, luckily I had the geek squad replacement plan, so I got a new one. Hopefully the new one will last a bit longer

    This controller is great! Love the adjustable to ensuon on the thumbsticks. Feels sturdy and controls are snappy. Shoulder buttons feel a bit flimsy, probably wouldn't survive landing directly on them in a fall, but that is no different than any other MS controller. Handle grips feel a bit sticky, but easy to grasp overall. Battery life is absolutely insane! Used it for 2 weeks on a full charge before it even indicated it was running low. Would recommend!

    Controller is the best out there except for the fact that the thumbsticks will start to drift in a few months. Definitely get the replacement plan. Hall effect sticks just don't feel the same.

    Review Title: Smooth, Premium Controller—But Price

    Product: Microsoft - Elite Series 2 Core Wireless Controller (Blue) This controller feels amazing in the hands. Super smooth controls, responsive buttons, and a premium build quality that elevates any gaming session. Whether I’m playing on Xbox or PC, it’s incredibly reliable and satisfying to use. The only real downside is the price—it’s definitely on the expensive side. But if you’re looking for a high-quality, long-lasting controller that gives you a pro-level feel, it’s well worth the investment. Highly recommended.

    Not as crisp as a complete one, but it is just as serviceable as one. I haven't had connectivity issues and it feels fine.

    Great controller with no stick drift. The customization for the front and real buttons are a game changer. The adjustable dead zone for the left and right trigger buttons reall help with fps games as well.

    Great controller especially if you use additional paddles. However the controller does not seem to last more than a year without starting to develop stick drift and bumper issues. I've been through three controllers in less than 3 years with moderate to heavy use. If you buy a BestBuy geek squad extended warranty, just be aware that if you have to use it, you will have to buy another new policy for the replacement controller. The 2 year policy ends as soon as you use it.

    Solid build and great customization options. Never drops connection through bluetooth. Excellent battery life that can last 3 days straight. Paddles will need to be bought separately, however.

    Love the way this thing feels in my hands. I don't use the extra buttons so it's nice how you can remove them. The thumbsticks feel nice too and you can swap them out for different ones.
