    This is the best controller on the market that isn't the full Elite Series 2. I have one of those that's out of warranty which has issues with the bumpers, so I picked this up as a cheaper replacement. Since I already have the full Series 2 system, this is all I need. Very comfortable, easy setup, works great.

    Controller was in excellent cosmetic condition, but unfortunately the Y and B face buttons were sticky and required firmer pushing to activate.

    For being an open box buy, this controller works fantastic! Paddles on the back are fantastic for the extra control slots I use for multiple games. Snag one if you can!

    Its a red elite controller! This one works out if you want to add your own paddles and joy sticks without having little baggies of them scattered about your home. I have not had any drift issues or imput problems with this, so thats always a bonus. Also, those metalic red triggers and bumpers are oh so pretty.

    Very nice controller i like how it comes with different lengths of analog sticks i got mine set up with the long analog sticks which is great for sniping, the paddles on the back are good because you can set whatever paddle to whatever button so you can multi task press that without moving your fingers away from the analog sticks ot trigers comes on a nice carry case with a charger mount built into it

    Been gaming for 20 yrs....had the OG xbox all the way to Xbox X using the normal controller. The controller started sticking on the trigger and buttons, and I was getting more time on competitive Destiny 2 so I said "what the heck...let's bite the bullet and see". This Elite controller is cheating. Period. By all measures higher quality. You will have trouble getting used to the paddles, but keep on it. Enjoy playing competitive SIGNIFICANTLY more. Would/will buy again in the future, which I hope is a while away based on the build quality.

    Works exactly as I desired for my gaming PC. Bluetooth connects to the PC and Steam games are playable like a dream. When needing to charge, I can plug it in with the included USB cable and charge while playing.

    Highly customizable long battery life love that is saves the custom profiles to the controller itself. So when I go between systems I don't have to redo the setup.
