    No other controller compares to the versatility of this controller. If you want true gaming at an elite level, this is the one. Don't worry about the price, the experience pays for itself.

    Elite controller for the clueless shopper

    I only got this model because I needed a replacement and my store was out of the "pro" version. When they say "core," they mean what you see pictured is what you get. The biggest draw to the elite controller is the customizable parts and additional mappable paddle buttons. None of that comes with this.

    Need a bit getting used to but highly recommend if you involved in competitive gaming. The adjustable triggers and thumbsticks are amazing

    Love this controller, BUT i do wish they lasted longer. this is my 4th or 5th elite controller. For the price they charge it should be much more durable.

    originally bought the Turtle Beach Recon controller, but was having problems having it turn on my X Box. This on the other hand, had no issues. Also enjoy the interchangeable thumb sticks

    Expensive but worth the purchase. Bought to replace my aging elite 1 controller. I was hesitant because of the internal rechargeable batteries as I prefer to change out batteries as needed for my own rechargeable ones.

    Great handle mostly decent functioning, sometimes buttons don't always perform functions when hit which can be very frustrating with fast-paced real-time gaming

    Much better quality build than previous model and the internal lithium battery is too notch. Adjusting sensitivity of thumb sticks is nice touch and overall responsiveness seems better.
