    Overall the elite series have been a better choice for xbox only thing i wish they would change is the joysticks to the new magnetic ones to stop the terrible stick drift problem that all console makers have

    Perhaps it's just mental, but having the pro controller, that's wired to the consul, makes me feel that there's no delay, and the performance shows ( probably just mental, but I like it).

    Good but there are better for cheaper. If you want a high end controller go for it but there are cheaper options that are just as good.

    Everything about this controller is awesome, unless of course you are me and the pads on the back are sensitive to you squeezing the controller from anxiety. Haha. Go get it if you can hold your controller lightly

    So much better than series 1. Little disappointed that there’s not two extra long joysticks as I use those on the series one. Overall feel is greatly improved grips are great the battery life is phenomenal and be able to charge it right in the case is even better.

    This is the best controller I have ever used. I already had one before purchasing this one, this one is a gift for my nephew. The only thing that I can say is that the price might not be in everyone’s price range but if you can afford it I would highly recommend it.

    The customization this controller allows will take your gaming to the next level. The build quality makes it feel like it should cost much more than it does and I am still finding new ways to make it my own after several months. Don’t miss out!

    Disappointed, had to return the first one as buttons came broken, and reordered a second, it worked, and I loved it, so I give it 3 stars, rapid hairtriggers, paddles are good addition.

    Simplicity is one of the keys. I had two other brands over the last decade and a half. This one isn’t as tiresome to use. It’s also VERY responsive. A great choice.
