    This is by far the best controller you can buy for Xbox. It is so customizable, comes with a built in battery that last supper long and they even included a charging case for the controller.

    Real talk. This controller is great, while it works. Get the extended warranty either from the retailer you purchase it from, or direct from Microsoft. I have had 3 of the controllers all start to present issues within 1 year of purchase. Stick drift, bad bumpers or triggers and sticking A,B,X,Y buttons. No drops, no spills Moderate gaming use. Be warry. This is sold as a premium product, and IMO the quality and durability falls far short of the price tag.

    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.

    I've owned a couple of different xbox elite copies from other brands, but nothing beats this thing. I loved my razor, but the elite feels and performs better.

    This thing has some heft to it, but that doesn't stop me from enjoying hours of play. Easily the best Xbox controller available, and that is considering the Scuf Gaming and Battle Beaver options. I love the build quality and the ease of use with the trigger stops and paddles. I can swap in and swap out paddles, the directional pad, thumbsticks, and macro's quickly and easily thanks to the clever design of the whole controller. I also like that I can adjust the thumbstick tension. The carrying case with the ability to use a charging pad from within is a nice touch.

    It is a bit pricey but it’s worth the investment. If the user plans on using it to play all range of game types this has all features to adapt to the players play style.

    Elite 2 controller core for the win

    Definitely worth the buy if you previously had an elite controller. If your old expensive elite 2 controller broke and need a replacement? Buy the core and take the parts off your old controller and voila, you have a fully functional elite 2 controller with all the bells and whistles at a fraction of the price. Don't forget the protection plan for when you get stick drift.

    By far the best xbox controller you can get, easy to use and customize to your liking. The stiffness of the triggers is a game changer in any games, makes you ads and shot so much faster. Once u buy this controller you’ll never buy a regular controller again. Ive bought 4 so far and will continue too.
