    The overall feel of the controller already makes it worth the purchase to me - but with the addition of the customizable paddles on the back make it to where I can’t go back now.

    Love the controller but certain aspects don’t last long. I keep mine very clean and still end up with stick drift, sticky buttons, and bumpers that don’t work within 6 months.

    This is my second one, and while it’s a great controller with outstanding features and battery life, I’m not sold on the longevity. The left bumper on my old one became unreliable and I hadn’t bought the protection plan on it and it was out of warranty. Since we’re now Best Buy Total members, the 2 year protection plan is included so I feel better about buying another one now.

    I suffer from essential tremors, which means that 'normal' controllers cannot stand up to the involuntary twitches that make up my daily life. This controller was bought to replace the generation 1 equivalent, that developed drift, and so far has made me a happy customer. No need for replacement batteries, as the rechargeable battery is built into the controller!

    It’s a good controller and nice that they offer a cheaper option and other colors but if you want or need the extra buttons/parts it is much cheaper to buy it all together as a kit.

    Great controller but after heavy use buttons can get soft to push along with paddles and stick drift is very common, would definitely purchase the protection plan when pirchasing any controller or heavily used items

    This is the best controller I have ever used. It feels great in the hand. The life battery is amazing. The interchangeable parts make this controller very customizable to your liking. Just to note, I have not had any drifting or button pressing issues. I may have lucked out but beware that those are things people have complained about.

    Best controller can’t give it 4 stars due to this is my 3rd one as stick drift is prevalent I. The elite series 2. The changeable sticks are great if you play different games as you can get a comfortable grip and not have to use extensions when you need finer movements.

    Due to all the negative feedbacks on the series 1, I didn’t buy the 1st one. This time I took my chance hoping that the 2nd is much improved. It is an awesome controller. MS addressed many issues reported from the 1st one. I am loving it so far! The only downside is the price. Yes, it’s not cheap and with this money, you can buy a new console with little bit of extra.

    The color is very vibrant, which, in my opinion, when purchasing a colored item such as a gaming controller, that is something we all fear will be an issue. My husband loves how great the quality of not only the color but the controller itself is. The joy sticks move smoothly creating for a nice time of video game playing. He loves that he can change out the sticks and other items to benefit his game play as well as to change up the colors if wanted. Not to mention that the accessories are magnetic making changing easier. This item works great for his XBOX and his PC use. We highly recommend.

    Definitely worth it, has a little more weight to it , sleek look. Love the protective case it comes with to charge inside, the gripped skin on it is great if you’re hands get sweaty. Paddle boards on back are awesome so you don’t have to take your fingers off toggle sticks... 100% worth the buy if you want the best playing experience
