    This is a great controller. It's a little bit bigger and feels more sturdy. Took a min to get used to the tiny size difference. So far no issues. I love the triggers ypu can add as well as the different settings you can set . I also love that we can connect to phones as well.

    If you buy this, you might as well buy two, or absolutely have a warranty. Sturdy and definitely improves ability, but it's a roulette whether the controller will gave stick drift out of the box or not. If you want to shell out more money, get a SCUF

    I loved and still love the first Xbox Elite Controller; however, this controller filled my need for wireless as well as more adjustability. The only reason this controller is not getting the 5th star, because the extra back buttons are much smaller than the original. Making it sort of awkward to use all 4, but this could change after a while of usage.

    Joy Sticks wear out to easy should be an auto recalibration tool in xbox series X, S Xbox 1 , may prolong the joy sticks and controller better along with better or more durability hardware used for the movement and hardware/ parts thats attached to joy sticks all the moving parts.

    I've owned several of the Elite 1 and 2 controllers and it feels weird using the regular ones. I initially bought the controller to lower the brightness of the xbox button. But, now I like the feel and weight of the Elites amd can't go back. I do t use all the attachments. I do chanhe the depth feature of the triggers when playing online shooters. Probably doesn't help me.

    So, I was a little bit hesitant to purchase such an expensive controller. Hell, it’s half the price of the Xbox itself. However, this thing is built like a tank. I wouldn’t be worried about a fit of rage and throwing it across the room. Well, except for the whole to leave in the wall. The buttons are amazing. They have finesse, and take control. This thing just fits perfect in your hand. I have never felt a controller that I’ve enjoyed as much. I wish it was not so expensive, however to get this level of precision machinery, he’s got to be worth it. Overall, I am very pleased that I spent the money on it.

    This controller is definitely built with quality. I feel if i drop it its going to damage my floor… the extra paddles on the back are a little much from my brail to process still but I’m working on that. The colors are customizable too which is cool. My only complaint is that the rubber on the grips feels a little slick at times but I’m sure they’ll wear in. Either way I’m still very happy with this controller.

    At first I wasn’t used to the controls but as soon as I got adjusted it was the best. I can’t see myself go back to the original now.

    I love the xbox elite controller and the way you can customize the controls and tailor it to the game your friends playing. Aldo bought an accessory pack on amazon so i can custom the d pad, triggers and joystick. Only complaint is the price it is pretty pricey.

    I was on the hook due to price but after purchasing I was surprised how much I enjoyed using this controller. I like the different opinions available to me. The controller itself is nice and comfortable. You have the option of changing the joysticks, triggers can be set to different sensitivity, paddles can be set for quick access during game play. You can also go into the controller settings for different joystick game play options. I don't see myself using a regular controller again. There's also a nice case with a dock to recharge your controller.

    Probably one of the best controllers out there, and to be honest it’s good. I give it 4 stars for the feel, look, and all the attachments and functions it’s has. The only con is the drift after so many uses. But I’d still recommend this to anyone who uses controller

    FPS main controller now

    Controller is very high quality, all buttons and triggers function as they should. The magnetic change of sticks and D pad is a nice touch that feels secure and I have yet to have one come loose mid play. Case is nice quality and the ability to charge while inside is a nice feature. Price is higher than I would prefer but for a nice controller I can see the justification. Features are perfect for FPS titles but have yet to see a need on other games. If you mainly play FPS and want a quality controller I would recommend this.
