    It’s an amazing upgrade just from a regular controller.

    Awesome Competitive Controller

    I traded my old Elite Series 2 (RB, back paddles, and B button would get stuck occasionally) for a new Elite Series 2 controller they had at the Best Buy store, and oh boy was the new one better. Now, the buttons and everything function as intended. Onto the specs. The controller is heavy, but I do not mind the weight and it is comfortable. I like the four back paddles as I do not have to remove my thumbs away from the thumbsticks to press the buttons that are on the front of the controller. This is a game-changer for me because you will have a faster response time than other players who own a regular controller and do not own back paddles. Overall, this controller is worth the price if you want a competitive edge and desire everything that is included with this version of the controller. Just be aware that it might be a defective one.

    Bought as a spare for my 3 year old Elite controller, just a basic elite controller with no accessories, do not recommend buying if you don't have an elite controller with all the accesories already. I'm taking off a star because it doesn't come with a replacement tall stick which I feel could have been included at the very least since it is a main wear item. It does come with 2 short thumbsticks though.

    I thought it came with the pieces and stuff but it didn’t. That’s my fault for not reading it correctly lol. Good product overall tho. I’m not a big time gamer and I’m glad this one is fairly simple to use. It definitely has helped me improve my firing rate.

    While there may be some questions about the price of this item, there are a few things that warrant consideration. One of the main reasons I chose this item (along with the obvious controller itself) is because I wanted a case for my controller as well. The controller itself is an improvement over the regular Xbox model, with the addition of the back paddles, but also has a built in rechargeable battery and 2 additional pairs of thumbstick options to swap out. Add all those accessories up and the price may still be a bit on the high side, but I find it worth it. Bottom line, it won't make you a better gamer, but it DID improve MY game with the longer right thumb stick and easier back paddles for some games, and I like that I can leave this in the case and plug the charging cable directly in without unzipping it. I am more than happy with this.

    If you're looking for an obvious gaming edge this controller is what you're looking for. Back paddles should be considered illegal NEVER remove your fingers from the analogs. Controller itself is slick looking buttons are so easy to switch, comes with multiple replacement analogs different heights/styles (concave or bubbled). Yes controller is a bit expensive but if you're into competitive gaming or just into expensive fancy looking things then buy this right now and don't look back..

    This controller is just totally awesome. Fully programmable and will take ur whole gaming experience to a new level for sure!! I must say, though the programming part of it is definitely at a higher level capable understanding. I would recommend watching the associated video of this product if it’s still offered through Best Buy website and not recommended for younger children.

    So far it’s been working great with no issue, I love been able to customize and use the paddles and to have peace of mind with the protection plan that covers me for 2 years which is a must with the high end controllers, “I would definitely recommend the controller”

    I've really been enjoying this controller. The rechargeable battery was something I'm glad this came with. I like the old 360 thumb sticks which this comes with an assortment of different ones. The D-pad pictured in the advertisement is nice for fighting games but you can switch that out too. The only real issue I've had is with the paddles on the bottom. You'll need to train your muscle memory to accept them. Overall, they are the better way to play. Do yourself a favor and disable the x y a b buttons in the menus on the XBox/PC. The controller is heavy compared to the standard ones. It's solid and the grip is awesome. You'll need to relinquish that death grip most people play with in order to get accustomed to the paddles. Another thing is that the paddles are great for reassigning buttons like the Thumbstick - To - Run assignment most Call of Duty games have. Sea of Thieves does this. Again it's relearning how to walk, run, and jump. When you finally get it, your K/D ratio will increase dramatically, ie you are no longer taking your thumbs off the movement sticks to hit buttons. Some of the more advanced features are not explained like cording several buttons together for special commands.

    I love it but small quacks here n there makes it not worth all that money. Especially when playing the joysticks can easily come off by the time you get them your opponent has already smoked you lol
