    I had a hard time believing that a controller could possibly be worth what is charged for the elite. After having several friends insist on trying it out I took the leap. I liked it so much I got a second as a Christmas gift for a family member. It feels great in the hands. Is very responsive. Honestly this should be the standard controller. The regular ones feel like a joke after this.

    I love the customization of it, rubber grips feel better than I thought they would, the paddles are a nice addition especially for jumping in games. Very high build quality. I would buy another if I needed to.

    Love the extra grip and buttons. Although after a couple months using the remote, either the left joystick or right bumper would begin malfunctioning. Best to put a warranty on it just in case this happens.

    Compared to any pther Xbox one X or series X controller. The additional grip and mappable buttonsnin single player as well as multiplayer games is just an incredible feature. Great build quality, customizable, definitely worth getting when on sale

    Love the Xbox controller and had to get an elite 2. Paddles are very customizable and it feels like what its worth. Only controller that can compete with the PS5 controller. Super comfortable. Only complaint is if your hands are cold or not sweaty it has a slippery grip. Aside from that, can't be beat. Def would get warranty cause there are lots of cases that have joy sticks drifting.

    This is a great update to the first one. Finally uses USB-C. I can’t tell the difference in feel like some other say but you do notice a difference in the joysticks which is a great upgrade. The battery lasts about the same amount of time but I’m not a great example of this because I don’t play everyday. My only complaint is I think they are just to expensive and don’t see why they need to be almost $200. These should be more closer to $100-$130 range!

    The controller is great. The pros are that it last long. Doesnt need to be recharged right away. The only con is that its a bit heavy. Besides that, great controller.

    You just met your dream partner, they do everything you love and more. They feel great, are there for you in times of need, flexible with your needs for customization and you take care of them providing shelter, hygiene and energy. But after the honey moon phase is over you just can’t count on they anymore. They begin missing key inputs, drifting away from where your goal is and you start to think of a replacement after 5-8 months. Was your money and time worth just these great few months? This controller is awesome off the back. Being an elite buyer since day 1 it’s hands down the best model. I play daily and clean my controller weekly. However, whether it’s a series 1 or series 2 the same problems with stick drift or failed bumper input still occur. The geek squad plan is unbeatable but with consistent issues these will never make it worth the price. Recommended for casual gamer, not competitive daily user.

    Cheaper price didnt change the quality. It works great. You can use your old paddles etc. I had no problems. Everything was sturdy and tight fitting. D-pad is multi directional so obviously youd need to make sure youre tapping in the right spot or it will make it more difficult for you. I found my gameplay to be considerably smoother too.

    I have owned 3 elite controllers previous to this and all had very similar issues so I was definitely skeptical. I’ve now had it a couple months and I can’t stop raving about it! The improved buttons and hair triggers are very convenient and the quality of the grips has clearly been brought up! But the best feature is the internal battery! I’ve had to charge it only twice! No more batteries and endless hours of gameplay! Best controller I’ve ever owned period.

    I have never used any other controller other than the standard ones so I didn't know what to expect. I saw it on display and wanted it but it wasn't available at the time so I had to wait and order it and it was worth the wait. A little pricey but it's expected with how neat the controller is. I'm still getting used to the extra buttons. I also like the feeling of it and how my hands have a better grip of the controller.
