    I really like this controller because it makes it easier to play and improve with your skills. I used to play with the regular controller but using this one has made it easier and better to play with

    I bought this controller wanting to use the paddles in the back, but the controller offers way more. The durability of this controller compared to the regular ones is a good enough reason to buy this! It feels sturdy and nice while playing and you also have the ability to alter your button mapping. This can also be used with other systems, not just the Xbox.

    The feel and battery life of this controller are fantastic. I have to charge it about every other month. Just hate that to avoid disposable batteries, this or buying a rechargeable battery pack in 2024 is the way to do so. Other than that, I don’t regret this product at all.

    Greatest Controller Ever

    This controller provides me the edge I need to decimate the 12 year old punks that like to hurl the n word at me with reckless abandon. I used to have nothing to say because of how badly these young assassins would kill me, but now thanks to this controller I can talk back to them with Yo Momma jokes and about how promiscuous their mother's and sister's are. Now I feel like a big man when I play video games because now I can win on the field of battle and in the trash talking game and send those prepubescent punks crying back to mama and it is all thanks to this controller.

    Once you use an Elite controller, its a totally different experience. I have bought numerous controllers over the years and I can tell you that the difference is clear with the Elite Series. Love the color options now (This is my second controller)

    I got this for my husband as he's hard on controllers, and after having one of these before he broke a button after a few years, he was excited not only at the replacement, but also at the color choices that there are for these now.

    Great option for replacing Elite Series II

    Great replacement for the Elite Series II. With the known wear out of the Elite Series parts, this is a great option to replace just the controller. If you’re a first time buyer, highly recommend finding replacement accessories off Amazon. Allows ESII users to replace their controller for more affordable price.

    Best paddle Controller on the Market!

    better controller than a scuf. the padding for your hands keeps it from getting sweaty from food grease if you eat and play and its alot more durable and last a lot longer than scuf controllers. scuf controllers break so easy. ive had 3 scufs in 3 years and only 1 xbox elite series 2 controller for 2 years with no issues and the back paddles are easily replaceable for like 10 bucks on amazon

    Love the controller. Got a second one because I didn't buy an extended warranty on my first. I highly recommend putting the 2 year service on it. I used mine daily and it started to break down after about 8 months. By 12 months (about 8 days past warranty) the left stick got all kinds of wonky. Anywho, i had everything I needed from the previous controller. so I bought this one with 2 year service and saved a bunch of $$$.

    Love the way this thing feels in my hands. I don't use the extra buttons so it's nice how you can remove them. The thumbsticks feel nice too and you can swap them out for different ones.

    got plenty of use of mine and enjoyed it greatly but like the series 1 before it the price increase does not come with durability increases. will the grip issue of the series 1 seems to be 99% fixed i was/ am seeing minor expansion after this year that could become problematic if other parts like the bumpers and sticks retained their life better. *when i mention durability ive never once thrown or otherwise put nonstandard ware and tear abuse on the controller but it seems that since even the 360 era microsofts controllers just aren't made to last daily use of 5+ hours for a full year

    Currently l been using this for one month and then had to use to play such as Call of Duty, Roblox, and some other because you can change the thumb sticks and also the D-Pad l think? Currently, nothing change and also I got a feeling that there will be a issue or an drift stick in a few months if l play too much like Competitive matches such as R6, Call of Duty, Overwatch, etc.

    Overall I like the controller. It has a heftiness to it that I find comforting, and the textured rubber grips are nice. My only issue is that it has slots to put paddles on the back for more controls/buttons on the controller but it doesn’t come with the paddles like the original elite controller did.
