    Pricey, but a great controller

    This controller is great. Seems like there were some quality issues with the first series elite controller but this one appears to have better quality. Had it for a couple of months now and showing very little signs of wear. Being able to switch out the sticks is what I like the most about it. The added paddle buttons help, but be aware that they don’t act as extra buttons. They only replace current buttons or can act as a shift button.

    controllers a necessity for gaming. Its just too expensive, and its guaranteed to break, so get yourself that replacement plan. Im on my 3rd elite 2, as the RB/LB keeps breaking, or the little adhesive pads inside behind the triggers gets stuck and the triggers start sticking. This should be prices at $99.99

    Best little controller on the plaent. I've owned a variety of Xbox and playstation controllers. I loved this feel this one had. Was slim and loved the additional buttons for a more customized gaming experience. This bad boy lasted me 2 years I plan on getting another one of these.

    I'm a PC player that likes to use a controller with casual games like Fallout and GTAV. I purchased this because i prefer the Xbox form compared to PS. The weight of the controller is fantastic, the buttons feel great. the whole thing just feels very premium. I went to a buddies house and used his regular Xbox controller for the night and I felt like a pleb in comparison. Night and day difference, 4 stars because the price is just as heavy as the controller.

    I absolutely love this controller you cant beat it! I got one around 3 years ago and after about a year and half it got really bad stick drift whis is insanely annoying especially since its $180, you would think it wouldnt break but i guess not. Nonetheles, this is my second controller of it that im buying. Although this time i bought the warranty for it

    Great controller for Hardcore Gamer

    This is a great controller! Obviously, the high price makes it worthwhile only if you are a lifelong gamer but, “ You get what you pay for” This controller has a heavier feel, there are apps to control fine adjustments and everything works that much better. Make sure to purchase the protection plan because even though this is a high quality controller, things break and this will also. One difference between this and the series 1 controller is that this one has a rechargeable battery built in, I don’t know about the battery life so far but this could be a good or bad thing. We shall see. This is a great controller nonetheless

    Great controller. Has all the bells and whistles. My only problem is that I need to get used to the extra buttons. But it works exactly as intended and has a ton more functionality than I'll probably ever use. But I'm also middle-aged and set in my ways without a ton of gaming experience.

    I tried playing claw practiced for a few months but just never could get the hang of it (call me lazy for giving up) I saw this controller and it became the answer to all my problems and even made more other stuff even better. It comes with multiple joy sticks I use most of them for different games I normally only switch the D pad to mess around but I'm sure someone has a use for it. Not a serious gamer but definitely upped my game to a whole new level love it. Only issue is one of the joy sticks loosen and can spin but I tightened it and haven't had a problem since.

    No major complaints about controller cept wish the button inputs where a bit better, especially at the price, but it was my best option to get a cross pad instead of the default Xbox dpad. Best Buy did great though by price matching the Amazon price, so 5 stars to them.

    Much better than standard controller

    I think this is the controller that should come with the Xbox Series X as standard, it has a high end feel, like the console, which deserves a special controller. It has incredible customization options, has a quality feel in hand, comes with wireless charger and if it lasts as long as my Series 1 controller (which still works perfectly to this day) then you can't go wrong. The PS5 controller may be better than the standard Xbox controller, but this controller trumps them all. Highly recommended despite the price.

    I bought one of these because the last several regular controllers i bought have all had issues with either the a button or the right trigger. I thought for the extra money it had to be better. Well, not really. If your not going to use the extra mappable paddle buttons on the back I don't really think this controller is a worthwhile upgrade.
