    This controller improves upon everything I love about the normal Xbox controllers. The tactile feel of the grips is great, the dpad circle works surprisingly well, and I love the trigger adjustment.

    My husband spends time on his Xbox most every night. He has had the original Elite controller ever since it first came out. Someone we know accidentally broke one of the bumpers, so I surprised him with this for Christmas. He loves it even more than his last one, and that's saying something.

    If you’re serious about shooters, you have to have a controller like this. Only issue is they wear down fast. Get the warranty

    My new favorite xbox controller. I have been wanting to try this controller for a long time and when I started getting into Souls games, it tipped me over the edge. It's been a wonderful controller for ease of use with soul's games.

    Stick drift day one

    I’ve owned around 12 of these controllers over the last 4 years. Between the Elite 1 & 2, there is a definite quality change in the feel of the control. Usually they last me between 4-6 months. I always buy the extended warranty because they break on me so consistently from just normal use. With my most recent purchase, I noticed stick drift occurring within the first day. I’ve had it about two months now and it’s absolutely maddening. I’ve been putting off getting a new one because they are never in stock at any of the three stores around me and I don’t want to wait for shipping. The extended warranty is an absolute rip off because you have to spend upwards of the 40 bucks to replace your warranty every time you have problems with them (which will be frequently). The warranty system is trash. The quality of the controllers are trash. These controllers have put me through so much crap that I m considering switching to PlayStation for next gen just to escape Microsoft’s terrible product quality. Signed a very unhappy customer

    Thd controller is phenomenal. Ill never go back to a regular controller. Now I do play 8-14 hours a day, but after only 6 months my left bumper (LB) is going out and I'm not very happy about it.

    This works group for iPhone/Oculus and computer use. I'm not sure why but using it blue tooth with my desktop computer comes with a ton of lag time. It's fine with the Long USB c cord that it comes with plugged into my computer.

    I loved these at first and then the buttons started to act up. Lots of flaws with this controller. X button works when it wants to. 2 paddles won’t respond so I don't use them anymore. Grip is slippery and gets annoying fast.
