    Love the elite controllers. These are the only controllers I will use while playing Xbox. Once you get accustomed to them, they are all you will use.

    This is a beautiful controller, great for the gamer in the house. Beautiful black color. Soft and sleek. Easy to clean and easy set up. Comes with protective case for traveling and storage when not in use. Beautiful upgrade from regular controller.

    I replaced my worn out elite series, with the new version. My old unit had played hard! This new series 2 has great new improvements, also the new unit is not a duplicate. You can not swap parts from the old to the new. I have my original fitted with round top sticks on it, the new unit only allows one of these, on one side or the other. You can not use the old sticks or any other remove able controls. So yes I love it for being well made, but just not compatible with the older elite.

    Great controller if you want the ability to customize the settings. Once I played with the Elite, never went back to standard. Like being able to swap dpads, adjust trigger pull, and add levers to the back for additional functions.

    BEST CONTROLLER AVAILABLE! The lack of hall-effect joysticks is disappointing, but Gulikit holds the patent on using them in controllers. Near infinite customization, better bluetooth connection with Windows PCs, and good battery life. It got me to use my PC more, instead of relying on my Steam Deck or ROG Ally.

    I did not know that you can charge the controller while it is in the case. Nice feature. Only feature it doesn't have that I would like is an auto rapid press feature.

    Non-gamer here. It was hard to understand why we needed to upgrade to the elite controller until I held each and felt the difference. I've watched enough game play to see how intense the play can be, so now I can also understand why having some of the features would help. So instead of having to buy a new basic controller every 3-4 months because of the wear and tear, we'll invest in this and see it last a lot longer

    Great Controller very comfortable. Only complaint i have is the rumble motors make a slight noise. Same thing with a series 2 core Controller i got. But after using it a while bout 20 hours ish the noise seemed to go away.
