    Having owned the 1st elite series controller I didn’t think this one would be that much better, but I was wrong. This controller improves almost every aspect of the Series 1. The wrap around grips are excellent. My series 1 grips started to fall off and I don’t see that being a problem on this one. I love that it’s slightly smaller than the 1st. Because of that I can actually use all 4 back paddles comfortably. The thumbsticks and triggers feel great. The controller now has a rechargeable battery built in and can be charged by placing it on the charger that’s in it’s case. Overall a great improvement and a fantastic controller. If you play call of duty, Fortnite, etc you need this controller.

    Best controller I've ever owned for sure, makes playing games like for honor so much easier since I don't gotta take my fingers off any buttons at all thanks to the paddles. And all around it just feels great

    Controller is good compared to the regular Xbox controllers, however after 10 months the right bumper started to give out, luckily I had the geek squad replacement plan, so I got a new one. Hopefully the new one will last a bit longer

    It's the base elite so no back paddles included, if you've used one you already know it's one of the best. The rest comes to personal preferences, I however choose this until I find something better.

    Hands down the best controller on the market. Tons of options to make it work exactly how you want it too from trigger stops to programmable buttons. Excels for keeping you thumbs on the sticks in FPS games and having flappy paddle shifters in racing games. Only gripe, the internal battery. It is great and lasts a long time however in a few years when the battery goes bad you won’t be able to pop in new AAs or a new rechargeable pack.

    Solid controller. Crappy bumpers. But all Xbox controllers have terrible bumpers. Overall, it’s worth the price for the amazing battery in this thing. I barely have to charge it

    Over all great controller the grips make it really easy to grasp after long intense play. Trigger stops are a huge improvement over the previous version with the ability to have a 3rd more subtle option rather then default and full stop. The joystick tension is a welcomed addition as well although i wish there was a 4th adjustment setting which allowed for an even looser then stock. The controller also have phenomenal battery life. On several occasions i have gotten 4 days of use with 6 hrs of play time on and off. Other then that theres not much to say is it worth 170$ is up to you but to me its a great controller i would strongly reccomend.

    This controller has sveral more functions than the standard remote which makes it more entertaining while playing games. Giving you more abilites and control of the game makes it well worth the money. The battery lasts a long time and I have not had it die on me yet. I definitely recommed.
