    I’ve had the gen 1 controller and this is by far a way better experience and on top of that the battery life is unbelievable.

    It is a great heavy controller,but it a shame that this controller with the high price tag has issues and I needed to get the extended warranty Mine had issues with left stick wandering and right bumper reacting slowly. I like the built in battery though. So I had to go to Best Buy (I did set an appointment) with the Rep on phone said controller was in stock.of course no controller In stock.best buy was going to give me store credit,but finally said they can order me another one( I had to rebuy the warranty again) Prior to this I called Microsoft and their warranty on this controller is only 90 days so extended warranty did help from Best Buy

    I got this to replace my 2 year old elite series 2 which was starting to feel worn out. I just took the old paddles and put them on the new one. The black and white storm trooper look is nice.

    I think it’s worth it, the core was exactly what I needed since my last controller had sick drift and a messed up button .

    These open box elite controllers are used. People use them for months then bring them back. Look at the buttons and other rubber parts you can se how used they are . Best Buy is misleading. Open box controllers don’t leave the store and havnt been played with games . But a new 1 they are awesome.

    Exactly as advertised, a very versatile controller for XBox One with swappable joysticks and D-pad along with paddles and hair triggers on the back. Excellent battery life as well and comes with a great case to store the extra swappable parts, paddles, and charging station.

    Great controller. Easily gets stick drift

    So I LOVE the elite controller. It’s great to use, has great features, and feels so comfortable. Definitely prefer it over the regular controller. I have had 2 in the last 3 years though because it is known for how easily it gets stick drift. I basically only play FPS (apex specifically), and the stick drift happens randomly and seems unfixable. Luckily, there is a warranty with microsoft for this so you can repair it but you shouldn’t have to repair a $200.00 controller that is always taken care of (placed in case every time after use and never dropped).

    Great Controller for playing on Xbox but with an asterisk. If you want to save your money get the protection plan as the controller will inevitably fail. I am on my 4th one now and so glad that I always get the protection plan.

    its a great controller, the paddles will take a bit of getting used to, but you can remove them easily if you don't want to deal with them, personally I prefer the grip on the era 1 elite controller, but this one is still a great controller for competitive players

    Buy the warranty. This is my 3rd elite 2. Phenomenon controller but they get stick drift after months. The second one I bought did not even get much use and got it. Best Buy has been great with honoring the warranty at least.
