    I bought this one after my fist Elite Series 2 started suffering from runaway thumbstick and unresponsive right bumper after 2 years of steady use. Since i already had all the additional accessories from my first controller, there was no need to buy the full set again. I would give this controller 5 stars, but it’s known to suffer from a limited lifespan. Other than that, the feel and performace of the buttons and paddles are still my choice compared to other controllers.

    The battery life on this controller is great. I don't play games a lot but the stand by is great as well. The control it's takes some time to get use too. I like the fact that I can set up the controller is great. I play most driving games and I can adjust the buttons to be soft or hard on the toggle's.

    Bought this to use with my Alienware 15" Ryzen Series 9 laptop. Was too much of a hassle using my keyboard. I'm very happy with the controller. Bluetooth connection is easy and so far I haven't experience any drops during gaming. So can highly recommend.

    Its a very good controller. While it is on the more expensive side of things you get what you pay for and what you are paying for is a durable, easy to use, great feeling controller

    Good controller, paddles can be swapped out by the scuff ones and are pretty useful. For the price compared to others not a bad buy.

    Yes, the price point of this controller is quite steep at first glance. But if you even know what an elite controller is/capable of doing, you realize its much cheaper than a custom Scuf with the same capabilities. I use mine for FPS games and couldn't be happier. Had Elite V1 and bought this, happy with both!

    The right bumper has failed, the rubber grip is peeling away. Quality is bad but while it worked, the battery life is great! Having buttons mapped to the underside helps in the heat of the moment

    My son in law loves it. The separate case that it sits in charges the controller and it has different knobs and buttons to change out.

    I do not know how to use all of the back buttons on the controller. It comes with one little magnetic piece to connect it but that's it. Other than that it is definitely a solid controller

    No other controller has so much quality like this one. The build materials are amazing, the buttons and joysticks are great and customizable. The software on screen to customize your triggers and extra buttons is very easy to use. It stills the best controller that you can buy. Period.

    Love the elite pro core. Was super excited they made it in red. And upgrading wit the paddles is easy. Turns the core into a full elite 2 at a lower price.

    Good controller but ended up returning it after about 3 weeks of use. Has a few issues and didn’t fully use all the extra buttons and paddles for the price paid. Nice weight and feel but I’m happy with my series controllers.
