    Great pad, but it didnt come with the extra triggers and pads I was expecting. Was surprised that it came with an XBOX app to adjust many of the settings! Real great feel and longer battery life than a std controller.. AND BLUE!!!

    The Xbox Elite Wireless Controller is a must if you are a hardcore gamer. I've read some reviews about it having stick drift after a couple of months of use but, I have not experienced anything in my 2 months of owning it. After using this controller it's hard for me to use a regular controller because of the remapping done to the back paddles. Overall though it's worth it if you play a lot of games.

    I was pleased with the first generation Controller. The improvements to the trigger locks are fantastic. The control sticks seem more responsive and have adjustable tensioners. I haven’t figured out the shift function in the app yet, but from a cursory inspection it appears there is a greater degree of customization options with the buttons. The docking station is the greatest improve,ent, no more breaking the USB input.

    Elite Series 2 controller is very solid, and feels very good in my hands. The customization is good to set up your controller to your style of play, and when not playing a shooter your can put to respond like a regular controller to play Madden. So you have two controllers in one if you want to compete or not this controller is a must have. Money well spent.

    These controllers bring your gaming to the next level. I bought these for my sons, who play Fortnite against their friends, and they are dominating. It is built incredibly well and has excellent battery life.

    The built-in battery pack and grips are great. Charge lasts 1-2days with 5 hour play. The sensitivity slide bars below don’t seem to make a big difference. I would have liked the paddle controls as an option.
