    I was not a fan of this controller for one reason. First, the feel, fit, and finish is good. I wanted this tonwrk with my PC as I still enjoy using a control for AAA style games such as God of War, Last of Us, etc. Helldivers is good on controller too. For some reason though, this connected wirelessly to my PC had such lag I could not stand it. I also purchased a Playstation Edge and tried that, and it is a much better experience. The battery sucks on the Edge, but I have instant response. Not sure if the XBox Elite controller I bought was a dud, but I do see this being returned alot. Shame.

    Love being able to have 3 saved game set ups and the push of a button. The paddles on the back make games like call of duty and destiny much easier to play.

    I have the original Elite controller and I LOVE it but I gave it to my wife when she started playing Xbox more. I got this one and somehow love it even more! - The paddles are a little smaller, which helps if you have big meat hooks for hands like I do. - There's no more nasty green under the swappable parts so you get a really blacked out look - The swappable profiles are AMAZING if you play different styles of games. I currently have Assassin's Creed, first person and Skyrim profiles. - The hair triggers are now variable and help a lot with those split second reactions - It comes with a charging dock and you can even charge it while it's in the carrying case thanks to a small passthrough grommet. - The wrap around grips are MUCH nicer than the gen 1 elite controller. No more hand sweat buildup! I can't say enough nice things about this controller and it's worth every penny if you're a big gamer!

    Amazing build quality, connection and charging is easy. Paddles are easy to remove and adjust and make gaming easier. Adjusting paddle and button mapping with the accessories app on the XBOX is a breeze.

    I previously owned the elite controller so when series 2 was released I had to have it this is what the first controller should have been better grip built in battery and a charging pad not bad at all

    I purchased this as a gift for my son's birthday and he loves it. He is on 13 years old but has already customized the additional levers/switches for CoD: Modern Warfare. It also arrived days ahead of scheduled to my home address. We are extremely satisfied.
