    Great Controller

    I got this controller for my PC at the same time I got a Playstation Edge controller for my PS5. This controller is so much better. Everything feels so much more responsive, from the sticks to the triggers. It sits better in my hands and just feels better overall. Even if the Edge controller had four back triggers like this one instead of two, I’d still rate this one better. I’ve been a Playstation over Xbox fan my whole life, and it makes me sad to rate something Xbox better than PS. But truth is truth. I wish I could use one of these on my PS5.

    I love the controller for it's functionality. I just feel like for the price point, you shouldn't experience any problems with it. But that could be on me from dropping it a few times, whoops. Luckily I got the extended warranty which I highly recommend getting too.

    Many people told me not to purchase due to a common stick drift problem that comes about. But after almost a year with it I’ve never experienced any problems it’s been very reliable comfortable in hand and it is very customizable

    For an elite controller, I have to say it was not sturdy like the previous ones I have purchased. This one felt a bit off due to the thumb knobs feeling rebuilt rather than brand new, which is what I paid for. I previously purchased two black edition elite controllers, and they were built with much stiffer controls and no free traveling effect on the thumbstick, which is why I feel this way. Maybe I just got a bad one. could also be why this red one is less expensive than the all-black one.

    Awesome! Just understand what you’re getting first

    Great! Just understand what it is you’re getting. This is a USB C rechargeable controller. The DPad and triggers are different. It comes with sliders on the bottom of the controller to adjust how quickly the left and right triggers are pulled. But that is the extend of the controller. The more expensive elite controller 2 comes with a charging case AND the paddles, while this controller does seem to support the paddles, it does not come with paddles or many (if any at all) other thumbsticks. The other thing I’ve noticed is some games are built for the regular Xbox controller, so even if you can pull the trigger faster, due to game mechanics, it won’t matter what your reaction time is.

    Best Controller Ever

    This controller is the only controller you’ll ever need for pro gaming. 4 paddles in rear of controller creating more combinations of button layout. Don't drop the controller and don’t mash the buttons unnecessarily because it work perfectly fine under normal pressure, so anything excessive will cause damage naturally over time so try to discipline yourself to not abuse your controller.

    I recently purchased the Microsoft - Elite Series 2 Core Wireless Controller and I’m really enjoying it. I wanted a controller that had more customizable features and this one has proved to be an excellent choice. The adjustable thumbsticks, directional pad, and multi-function buttons provide plenty of options for fine-tuning the controller for specific and personalized settings for gaming. It's also quite comfortable to hold and use with its rubberized grip. The wireless connection has been reliable and very responsive, providing lag-free performance. I would highly recommend this controller to anyone looking for a customizable, comfortable, and reliable gaming control.

    I personally love the controller it's heavier than the other one so it feels better in your hands and the overall quality is better and the thumb sticks and pad are detachable if you choose to replace them with different colors you can.

    Replaced an Elite Series 1 - like this one MORE

    Purchased this to go along with a new Xbox Series S that I purchased at the same time. This replaced an older Elite (series 1). NOTE THAT THIS ONE DOES NOT COME WITH THE PADDLES OR EXTRA THUMB STICKS. If you want those, be sure to get the model WITH those items included. Microsoft sells the paddles & thumb sticks as a separate package if you get this model and change your mind later and want to add them. This controller works great. Lots of adjustments in the Xbox Accessories app on your Xbox. I use all four paddles and you can program each paddle for a different function. You can easily switch between three pre-set configurations with the button on the controller. You can also set the color of the Xbox light per configuration so it’s easy to tell which config you’re on.
