    Although we had to return this (button input was lagging on the PC), it feels very good in hand. We also have an PS5 elite controller and using this one in comparison, it's a little heavier but still has amazing grip and the satisfying buttons. Connecting to PC via cord or Bluetooth was easy.

    This controller is the best controller ever. It is confortable and the paddles in the back are the best to keep your thumb on both thumbsticks

    These controllers are great, until their not. I've owned several over the last few years and they typically stay good for around 8-12 months, at that point you will most likely get stick drift and/or one of the top buttons wears out. Overall its a good controller, but they arent built to last.

    This controller is much better than the original Xbox controllers. It’s heavier, has grips for your palms and much quicker analog stick movement.

    Definitely not an overall improvement from the first generation. Battery life is better, more mapping options, but past that, the buttons feel flimsier than ever, the buttons and bumpers will start to stick no matter how well you take care of it, and they decided to make the removable parts not interchangeable between the generations, just as a power move, don't see any benefit to that

    I bought one of these because the last several regular controllers i bought have all had issues with either the a button or the right trigger. I thought for the extra money it had to be better. Well, not really. If your not going to use the extra mappable paddle buttons on the back I don't really think this controller is a worthwhile upgrade.

    This has been the best controller I’ve ever purchased. The build quality is outstanding. Very sturdy and has a nice weight to it. The built in battery makes it so much easier than traditional controllers. The rear-facing “fully mappable” toggles can really give you a competitive edge in multiplayer gaming. Works perfectly on both my Xbox and PC. Can be a little difficult for some to get used to the rear toggles and while they are removable it’s so worth it to get used to. They built this model perfectly!

    I got this controller for use specifically with my PC, but as it has differential profiles available (three to exact) I was also able to pair it with my Xbox. Great controller and I’m so impressed with the quality.I felt as though it was very well constructed. This makes two elite 2 controllers I have…too bad it won’t pair to my PS5

    Best Xbox controller I’ve ever had. I normally only use one paddle to remap L1 but you can have 3 additional presets.
