    There’s definitely a learning curve but once you get the paddles and adjust to using then your ability to play games better will increase. 10/10 would recommend

    This controller is well worth the money! With the customization funtion you can always change with your game style. Also the grip on the sides feels very comfortable. The best part is the charging case which charges your controller while also protecting it. Definitely would recommend!

    Great solid controller. Has perfect weight comes with charging case that you can charge controller IN!!!! Over all worth every penny if you play Xbox or pc at all. I have used a lot of controllers in my life and this by far exceeds the rest. Also, has extra paddles for the back and extra buttons in the case. Buttons are metal not plastic so it makes a huge difference when playing and they remove effortless by magnets.

    Controller is excellent for it's intended gaming purpose. Definitely a must have if you play COD, Fortnite, PUBG, etc. Just be prepared for the dreaded stick drift. There is a warranty from Microsoft for 1 year included with controller. I have used it once - service was quick. Buttons are swappable/customizable for aesthetic purposes. I have purchased 2, and would not hesitate to purchase more in the future if needed.

    Nothing too special. If you have the money and really could use the additional buttons or customization, then you would appreciate all the features. I wish the rubber was a little more grippy. I haven't had any issues with mine and hoping I dont, but have heard of others having issues. I think for what you are getting, its a bit pricey.

    I’ve been gaming with the elite controller since the Series 1 had released. Coming from an avid gamer, switching from a regular controller to an elite, literally heightens your response time and you’ll gain some extra instincts in-game. The variety and creativity of setting customizations with this controller are intuitive and furthermore intriguing. I have 3 presets; COD, Elden Ring, and Cyberpunk! Which each are unique to their own button mapping layouts. (TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE BACK TAB BUTTONS.) I say if you want to up your gaming experience this is definitely a main tool that will offer that change of play! My only CON would be the peeling that they’ve yet to fix on the side seam of the controllers. With that being said, I highly recommend buying a replacement program through Best Buy. It’s a pocket $aver forsure!

    Great controller if you have some extra money lying around to splurge. Personally, it was a bit much for the cost, and I find it better to just grab a strike pack for the paddles and use an original Xbox one controller instead of the new one (afaik they don’t make them for the new controller right now). TLDR: get it if money isn’t an issue and you want more than two paddles, otherwise buy strike pack

    By far the best controller that I’ve bought. I’ve had the normal PS4&5, Xbox one, Astro C40, Scuff, and even nycon controller. This blows them out of the water with the customizability and quality. I’ve seen reviews saying there’s stick drift after a while (I’ve had it for about a month so I cant speak on that) but I highly HIGHLY suggest this controller to anyone who’s serious about gaming.

    Higher Cost=Poorer Quality

    I never do reviews, but I guess I’m starting. I love these controllers. Works perfectly on Xbox or PC + paddles. But. As the price gets higher the quality becomes more of an issue. 3rd controller that has fallen apart, this one did last a good year and a half which I’m happy about but this controller specifically the grip around it absolutely wears out before the first year of use. 2 of the controllers I’ve had plastic breaks inside the controller without raging being involved (hasn’t effected use). The response mechanism for the triggers is probably the worst, maybe works for a week and wears its self out unless you’re super soft on the triggers all the time. It’s just no longer worth the cost when it seems it’s only designed to last until the warranty runs out. I don’t care to buy new controllers obviously but “premium” controllers should be able to withstand heavy use and not naturally fall apart within a year. IMO.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Great battery life, feel, quality. Now that I'be used paddles, I can't go back. Took off one star due to weak bumper design. This gen is better than last, but still not very durable.

    Great controller, lots of customization available for mapping and trigger sensitivity. Has a built in rechargeable battery that seems to last forever. I can start gaming in the morning and 12 hours later it still says it’s at full. I also like that you can charge it in the case with either the usbc cable or the magnetic dock. Only time will tell how long the battery will last as it ages but so far it’s the best controller I have ever owned.

    It's a recent generation xbox controller, so it can easily connect to your windows pc without the need of a dongle. The back buttons... on the back... are a life-changer. I would personally have a hard time going back to a controller without back buttons. You can customize the back buttons -and I think the general buttons too- however you want. You can have up to 4 back buttons in total and they are all removable. So if you are unsure about using them all at once, you can simply ease into it. The price is expensive, so make sure to properly think if you want such a product, but it is cheaper than getting the xbox core controller and the separate accessories. Great to play on your xbox or if you like to use controllers for your pc, it is easy to do so.

    I used the Series 1 for many hours and loved it. This Series 2 is improved in every area. The grip feels slightly off at first, but after some use, it feels great and grippy. The rechargeable battery is great and it’s awesome that you can put the controller in its case to charge. The thumb stick options are better this time around as well as the paddles. Love that you can adjust tension of thumbsticks this time around.

    HIGH QUALITY, GREAT FEEL, VERY CUSTOMIZABLE

    Just hold this controller once and you’ll immediately feel it’s worth the money, truly. Everything from the grips, to the weight distribution, to the tactile experience of the buttons, triggers, and paddles, all feel absolutely premium. Regular Xbox one controllers will literally feel like junk in your hands from now on...sorry. Of course their are numerous ways to customize it. The brilliant magnet design allows attachments like the joysticks to come off like a dream yet stay firmly attached during aggressive use. The ability to literally dial in the joystick resistance, with the included tool, is just wonderful. I have even removed a joystick and changed the related tension mid-game it’s so easy! The different heights and designs of the joysticks all have real purpose and are genuinely appreciated in various scenarios. So is the changeable distance on the triggers...game changer. Then there’s the software. I have had many controllers that were customize-able with paddles (Think PDP etc). No software is more functional, efficient or effective than Microsoft’s own proprietary accessories app. Changes can be made easily, by almost any age group, and make gaming that much more immersive. Some say that owning this controller won’t make you better but it may make gaming more fun. I think they’re wrong. I think it does both. You ABSOLUTELY DO get a performance boost from higher quality instruments. Otherwise LeBron James would wear slides and Yo-yo Ma would play a washtub bass. Just get this thing so I can stop mixing metaphors- it’s expensive but you’re worth it...and so is this wonderful controller! Happy Gaming! Stay safe - Be kind
