    Amazing controller for a competitive edge. Very responsive quick triggers and the paddles work great The case doubles as a charger which I love. Keeps everything looking sharp when I’m finishing gaming.

    I have 2 of these and like them better than the standard xbox controller. Like the rubber grip and the ability to add the flipper buttons. Allows for some customization and just feels good in your hands.

    This controller is meant to break, they have insurance for a reason. This is my third one. Sadly its the best controller out there, but will break over time no matter what. Horrible stick drift is known and buttons getting stuck.

    [Employee of bestbuy] I love the color of the remote I the the sleek design really complements the white, however the fact that these remotes get stick drift really irritates me

    Good controller! Could be a user issue, but much heavier than PS5. Wears on my knuckles, BUT it’s pure quality.

    Nice controller, works with my PC well. The controls are solid and the synchronicity to my PC games across multiple Apps is great. Only negative is the longevity seems 1-2yrs max before need to replace.

    Great so far, have only had it for about a month. I use it to play PC games, the plug and play is always simple for xbox controllers and this one is no different. I like the paddle buttons very much. Battery life seems fantastic so far, and the case is awesome.

    Incredible controller. On the small size, but before long you will not even notice it. It feels great in your hand, and always works perfectly. Easily the best controller I have ever owned. Is it a lot of money? Yes, but it is worth spending the extra cash on it

    Feels great, looks great. Easily the worst controller I've ever used. If it was $20 I would be irritated, but $200? Buttons don't work, stick drift, and rubber grips WILL peel off over time. It really is shocking they are still selling this.

    Lol so bought this controller less then 6 months ago and it started breaking with in three. I'm not especially hard on my equipment but dang for 200$ you would think it would last longer then normal 60$ controllers which have a shelf life of like at least a year. Buttons started getting harder to us like RB and Left Thumbstick Click. Nothing Best Buy will do if you don't pay more then you already are for a freaking elite 2 controller which is kinda dumb. Microsoft only has a 90 day warrenty on them which from what I've read is about when they have the most problems right after that. Cool. Next time I'll just punch myself in the face and give a stranger 260$ (60 for geek sqaud!) Great controller I guess, if it actually worked that is.

    Durability is a problem. Bumpers and sticks tend to be the first thing to go. However I do think while it is new it is one of the best controllers on the market.

    Great set of sticks and remapping is awesome. Have had a few of the elites over the years and the only downside is one of the bumpers is almost guaranteed to start going around the 15+ months mark.

    Love this controller if you want to step your game up than make sure you get one of these and dont forget your warranty so if it brakes you can get a new one and a new warranty for a quarter of the price
